I think thats true but you still need to be involved. Not participating or keeping a pulse on what the communities does with the tools you offer is hardly interactive. They can do that without you, so what value are you bringing? "Focus on identifying unmet needs, in order to build and nurture the community." One thing that helps to identify those unmet needs is focusing on relevance - what matters to whom and why, rather than merely what happened. Good points Dan, and I would add the following:
