The rapid growth in user created content or UCC will likely have sizable impact on this year's presidential election, in much the same manner as the internet took a political role in the 2002 presidential election campaign.

Free video sharing websites such as Pandora TV (www.pandora.tv) -- that are profiting by allowing users to upload, view and share video clips -- are now introducing more and more video clips of presidential hopefuls. The UCC buzz is also resonating at Naver, Daum and Yahoo Korea."
