Communicating the core of the business in all you do, and making sure that the quality of the content is superb is of huge importance, and I mean not only the writing - but also the visual text. (semiotics states everything is Text). The new(ish) idea that “Connecting is King Kong” has the same challenge, connecting people is not always enough, you need to let people have an environment where there is a meaning in the connection that you provide for them."

As noted earlier, if we lose the trust of the community, the network is worthless http://cpetersia.wordpress.com/2008/12/21/relationship-attention-x-trust/ However, I would modify your comment only slightly to "when the network is working effectively". In my view, anyone should be able to see the source of the comments, track record, user comments on that source, etc, which means that all sources of content are subject to review. For more on the trust issue, see http://www.conversationagent.com/2008/12/trust.html Thanks for commenting! Chuck Steve -

We need to develop a network that helps participants evaluate the knowledge and self-interest of those who engage. When journalists are working effectively, we show the flaws in thinking of honest but ill-informed sources and we reveal the self-interest of well-informed sources who aren't completely candid. The C3 network needs to use community as well as journalists to improve credibility. Credibility is an important part of transparency and engagement.
