It can empower people across locations to share their individual ideas and build on others’ ideas. The whole can be greater than the sum of the parts.

Kristiansen captured the drama on this video clip of Mena Trott's Keynote calling for more civility in blog commenting.

When people ask about blogging, the question of comments comes up more frequently than any other. There are many good ways to measure a blog's value , but somewhere inside ourselves, we feel that comments are the thing that validate a blog's existence. So when people ask, "Why don't more people comment?," It's a bit strange.

It makes us uncomfortable with opening museum content up to comment, tagging, and alterations by visitors. Museums aren't the only venues facing this question: news outlets, corporate brands, and educators are also grappling with the question of trust in the participatory age. But this goes both ways. Be personal.

This highlights the fact that while participatory design is by no means exclusive to the Web, that is the place most of the current experimentation is happening. At some institutions, there has been friction when artists find out that their work will be judged or commented on publicly by visitors. They kept the interface simple.
