What are the differences between commercial production and community produsage?

"It builds on a simple, yet fundamental proposition: the proposition that to describe the creative, collaborative, and ad hoc engagement with content for which user-led spaces such as the Wikipedia act as examples, the term production is no longer accurate" (Produsage.org, 2008).

From production to produsage - The simple process that is changing the world, and allowing users to turn into producers. One might ask how this can be achieved?

Produsage is the activity in where were all in the postion to act as both users and producers of content, allowing users the ability to interact with each other, access and retrieve content, and respond to it by making their own contributions. The difference between commercial production and community produsage is simply in my view the difference between theory and practice. Producers are those who make factual and theoritical information, where produsages are those users who create their own content, and challenge these ideas of theory with their own. Though the disadvantages with produsages is that mistaken, false information can be avilable and can mislead audiences, and can potentially introduce errors - deliberate or accidental. Although they do provide some advantages including faster more frequent updates, and greater infolvement of the community.

"The produsage process itself is fundamentally built on the affordances of the technosocial framework of the networked environment, then, and here especially on the harnessing of user communities that is made possible by their networking through many-to-many communications media" (Produsage.org, 2008).
