  “The people formerly known as your audience, or the people formerly known as consumers, are now participants in the process of building your brand.”
  Jerry Michalcki on Wikis	April 20th 2006
  “Companies are tantalized by the prospects of blogs and wikis, terrified by the risks and potential negative outcomes of doing it wrong.”

  “In the participatory era, media will no longer be delivered one way from a media company to an audience...but by audience members to other audience members.

N-joy.
