The attraction of free tools suchs as Blogging, YouTube and Twitter is their zero upfront costs. But for each new tool hours are generated maintaining content and moderating. Take YouTube if you are in an organisation its easy to take your eye of the ball a few days later you have to wade through comments, invites. Anyways its all work but worth it in the end. Thanks for the tips at TeaCamp much appreciated. Good points. The attraction of free tools suchs as Blogging, YouTube and Twitter is their zero upfront costs.

I thought an awful lot of them read as the work of someone closely allied with the site trying to redress the balance. When you've got a site that's aiming especially at people who might not use the web much an encouraging and authoritative voice to help the discussion along can work wonders.
