• Participatory: It blurs the line between producer and consumer,media and audience.
• Open and Democratic: It encourages voting, comments and thesharing of information. For this reason it is seen as authentic andtrustworthy.
• Conversational: Two (or more) way conversation rather than one-directional broadcast. Is personal, specific, and engaging.
• Communal: Supports formation, growth and strength of communitiesaround a particular shared interest.
• Connected: Thrives on being connected, making use of links to othersites, resources and people, rather than being territorial andproprietary.
