Examples of social content are Craigslist.org and Wikipedia.org. Our concepts for social content
are more aligned with Craigslist.org than other examples. In particular, we will strive to: 1) retain
the simplicity of Craigslist.org as far as public use models for browsing and adding content, 2) we
will strive to make the system adaptable and flexible to other audience models and the needs of
other host organizations (such as our NAAEE Affiliates), and 3) we will strive to keep platform costs
low, adoption costs low, and implementation costs low to enable us to generate the greatest
adoption and the greatest value for our communities of users and host organizations.
