But this takes the form of looking at enabling user ratings, creating a space for our teens to post book reviews, etc. We wouldn't really have any reason to compete with the existing high school and junior college media labs or the Community Media Center's public-access production studios. I guess it sounded to me like this is a guy who is heavily involved in a certain type of conversational media who thinks it applies everywhere; I'm not too sure how well it would apply to vast swaths of our particular user population. I’ll comment on my own post
