In my experince of running a site at my University, I'd want something over
which I could have some control over what was posted and whom had access. My
site forces new members to authenticate on a university email address, for
instance.

While I talked a lot about sharing of content and spreading it around, the
flip side of that is that the site owner will be able to control his website
and control where his content goes. And thats an important part to, I think.
