How is this different from just making all the photos private?

I'd like to be able to participate in discussions around particular articles or topics. I would like to be able to find other readers in my company or city. I'd like to be able to arrange or attend events aimed specifically at the Release2.0 demographic. I'd also like to be able to receive recommendations based on my membership of this group.

In short I'd like access to the collective intelligence of the readers as well as the writers.

Your reply was helpful but insufficient. I may have been unclear in my initial post so I'll try to be more precise.

The people who write Release2.0 and Radar have channels for communicating amongst themselves and with their audience. However there are no mechanisms for the Release2.0 readership to publicly provide feedback or to talk amongst ourselves about specific articles. I suppose what I'm looking for is a modern day equivalent of the letters page.

Without such a mechanism I'm reduced to reading the newsletter in a vacuum since I can't see if anyone else reads it or what they think about it. I suppose that in California one might bump into fellow readers all over the place but I could conceivably be the only reader in a web2.0 backwater like London.
