****No Social Networking Site Is an Island****

< But they can and will become key components of a host of next-generation web offerings in which content is king and the way users interact with it is paramount. >

"Not so AlwaysOn. Content is what draws people to AO. Featured articles, member posts, and reader comments all add a necessary flavor to the AO community. The site's social networking functions complement its all-important content, allowing members to establish dialogues outside of the public view, exchange ideas, and possibly meet up offline to extend their discussions".
