It’s all the rage and I know you know it: User-Generate Content! You pick what you read. You pick what you see. No more top down, force feed information you don’t care about. If you care about it, you can write about it, then read about it. Released to the public yesterday, Wattpad offers just that, user-generated content but with a twist! Wattpad is the first company to provide a platform to discover, read, share and request stories on mobile phones; so you can take what you want, to go.

With Wattpad, mobile users can easily discover targeted and community recommended stories through Wattpad’s mobile application. The stories will become instantly available worldwide through web browser interface on PCs or through Wattpad’s Java-based application on mobile phones. Through tagging, the stories can easily be discovered by interested community members.

Tip: I highly recommend you filter by language.

Suggested Reading: If I may, and you have an extended amount of time in front of your mobile, perhaps on the way to and from work… you may want to check out Life of Pi. It is a MUST read and on the Wattpad site.

Overall, I think it will be interesting to see how this community develops… what kind of niche it carves out.
