9. I’m as interested in input from other users as I am in the regular content on this site. A big reason I like this site is what I get from other users. I’d like to meet other people who regularly visit this site. This site does a good job of getting its visitors to contribute or provide feedback. “The User Engagement Study,” http://www.mediamanagementcenter.org/opa/OPA_overview.pdf (Media Management Center, Northwestern University, 2005).

The blog needs to link to, and be linked from, other blogs. This enables conversations to happen across sites. http://www.naa.org/docs/Digital-Media/Cookbook/Cookbook08final.pdf
20. “I started off by sharing some of the images the MEN photographers produced but it wasn't long before other Flickr users also started contributing ... there's been same-day coverage of major events such as the St George's Parade and the China protests as well as just good shots of the city and some humour from Gene Hunt and the gang.I've also used some of the pictures for print publication within my Saturday e-View page in the MEN. Contacting the photographers for permission first of course - this is a community and not an MEN archive!”Sarah Hartley, Manchester Evening News
25. Community editors/managers “He’s always in that community, and the biggest lesson is that having someone who is ever-present and who sets a good example is really key to guiding the direction your community is going to take,” Pacheco said. “He primarily leads with a spotlight, complimenting people, but occasionally, when someone is out of turn, the core community members will notify Jason.”
