Prescreening comments doesn't actually go against his point. It also serves as a protection for the site owners. If you visit unmoderated blogs you'll probably find that they're flooded with spam links to porno sites. Not exactly good. @ Dan. Prescreening comments doesn’t actually go against his point.

Opening up lines of additional communications allows businesses to be more repsonsive and also enables them to gauge the recpetion and perception of their environment. I am writing a thesis surrounding the evolution of web 2:0 and its relation to enterprise. I will post back when it is finished. Right im off to bed. This has been bookmarked. Thanks.

It amazes me just how many business (even fortune 500's) that don't take this into account.

Control over brand, identity and information has always been a fallacy. Before the emergence of the information super highway, companies like Exxon, Phillip Morris and others were only able to counter negative press rather than control it. Damage control doesn't exhibit any actual "control" but instead seeks to dilute any bad press, similar to the political strategy of "Muddying the water." Instead by opening lines of communication and embracing feedback from employees, customers and vendors it allows a company to directly address complaints in public, before they spread, and not only appear responsive but actually become more responsive. And isn't efficiency the goal of business? I completely agree with much of what is posted here, particularly with the comments shared by Marcel.
