Small teams -> many readers
- Each writer works on a different page
- Designers and programmers work separately on overall system, not each page.
Get easier for writers to use, but still need training.
Examples: DirectGov, Green Party in NI

many -> many
- many people write or upload content
- many others read and sometimes comment
Much easier to write
- Better usability, no training needed (at most watch a 5-min. video)
- Can set up an account with a service provider such as blogspot or Facebook, or install easy-to-use software like WordPress.
Examples:
- Blogs: Bad Science, Slugger O'Toole
- Social networking sites: Facebook, Bebo (e.g. Michele Smyth, Alderman Wilson)
- Share photographs: Flickr
- Upload videos: YouTube, Google video
Comments build conversations
- Not just a quick information fix: interactive
- Not just simple instant transactions: ongoing relationships
