On February 23, 2007 Piper Jaffray & Co. Internet Media and Marketing research team published an in-depth, comprehensive research report titled, "The User Revolution," discussing the new advertising ecosystem and the rise of the Internet as a mass medium. IThe report defines user revolution as a major trend that is happening primarily with consumers, who are taking control of content consumption and branding. "There are 12 key themes discussed in "The User Revolution" report:

1.	Global online advertising revenue to reach $81.1 billion by 2011.
2.	Communitainment: Internet has increasingly become a principal medium for community, communication and entertainment -- three areas that have collided and are impacting each other's growth -- generating a new type of activity: communitainment. Communitainment is taking time away from other, traditional, types of content consumption on the Internet.
3.	Usites -- The increasing popular category of user generated sites, which we are calling Usites, are driving traffic away from other destinations and pose a challenge to the advertisers and publishers.
