In one of my other classes we had to review a case study in which a player's union and a league were working on coming to an agreement on a new contract between the two. The negotiations stalled and caused a whole season to be canceled, because the two parties simply could not come to a term of understanding and trust.
It reminded me again of how important conversations are between any two parties, certainly between a webmaster or contributors and their visitors. To find out whether or not one provides anything of value, especially on a blog type site, it is vital to give your visitors an opportunity to join the conversation and contribute. I think this is one of the main reasons that social media sites are so successful, both creator and visitor contribute and exchange ideas. Sometimes this process can get derailed and cause headaches, but most of the time it helps the creators understand what their visitors are looking for.
