“One member at a time” is not the same as “your subscriber base,” and should not be approached in the same (one-)way.
This paragraph matters big-time to the one-way media, and so does the post behind it:
Strong social sites build value one user at a time. If one user finds value, then they’re much more likely to tell others or invite their friends. Strong sites don’t succeed by attracting “marketsâ€, satisfying entire groups of people with a certain feature set. Instead, they succeed on a smaller level, really focusing on individuals and their immediate social network. Then they can branch outward.
