  12. Brands and UGC • Popular culture and reality TV has shown that people enjoy having their names in the spotlight. • Brands are now focusing on creating home pages that are meeting places or portals for interaction. • “the larger point is that offiline marketing and branding is about getting attention– but online marketing and branding is about giving attention. Great home pages are active; you can do something on them.” • -Gerry Mcgovern
