Have you ever wondered what is happening in the background when you are scrapping on facebook, orkut, etc; when you are uploading pictures, sharing music and videos and all that what you do?

Apart from letting our friends know, we are creating pages and content for the service provider. The service provider fills the rest of the spaces with advertisements and makes millions. In media and entertainment industry, content provider always gets its chunk of revenue, but this is the only exception to the industry.

It won’t be fair to ask facebook or any other social networking site to share the revenues in large amounts; main share should be theirs. After all, they own the platform, the application and other rights. But each user must get some credit on pro-rata basis.

If a user has a large number of friends and results in a couple of thousand views per day, (s)he must be definitely rewarded. There could be some threshold for users qualifying the revenue sharing program, like minimum number of users, activeness, page views a day, etc. This would ensure that the service provider is sharing revenues only with real potential content generators and could motivate others to follow the pursuit.

Another such service is Youtube. They are also making money through the content shared by users like you and me. So why should not be we getting some share of the revenue they earn.

Though it might be too early to say, but if the trend remains like this, we could have the service fragmented and see many small or individual users coming up with their own websites for sharing their content. When one can have a sharing website ready in just a matter of few days using lot many open source platforms available and the website hosting is not a costly affair anymore, why shouldn’t we expect this in future. Of course, the transporting tool – broadband is at the finger tips of all.
