But many other services built on top of identity can be similarly engaging, from vastly improved, more relevant reviews and comments to a structured hierarchy of contributors for Times Topics. The publishing community must begin to think about building emotional connections like these in our day-to-day work. This is not a sideline to our business model: it is in the center."
