    I totally agree in a lot of points, and specially on this slide. It is so simple, if seen from the adequate perspective...

    I totally agree. I hate not being able to read an old NYTimes article just because I didn’t remember to save the permalink they offer.

Notes on slide 1

Hi, I want to give a high level overview of building a community. I’m from the future. A future where newspaper sites are a major source of visibility, use, and revenue, mostly through reader participation. Another thing I want to talk about today is the difference between comments and community. They are quite different. I want to talk about building real communities and what that requires.
