Dana Blankenhorn: Putting Profit Into Community: "It's the community sites that have the biggest problem. E-mail newsletters, e-list digests and sites featuring forums have come to depend on advertising and that has disappeared. Putting up tollbooths for what was formerly given away won't work. The first key, as with the content sites, is to register users so site managers can tell advertisers the branding impact of their ads."
