SM will just help to filter out not-so-good content providers. Would you use community-generated nautical chart or pilot book for navigation? Question is, what are the quality dimensions? It is not so much speed anymore - Twitter beats other breaking news sources. It's probably not a technical process, like CMS, or aggregation capabilities - that's blogs and RSS and Digg. It must have something to do with knowledge and it's application represented in the content. It means that content providers should re-assess the quality of their content in this new world and maybe their content generation strategy as well. And last but not least, do whatever is possible to avoid competition with user generated content - find a blue ocean once again and develop symbiotic relationship with the UGC. Easier said than done - I know. I think good quality content will always have its price. SM will just help to filter out not-so-good content providers.
