Well this is the way I see it:  writers write and when they have
written something that they think others might be interested in, they
click the publish button.

Readers read what they are interested in reading, and when they see
something memorable they click the remember button, and maybe they
make a comment about it.

That's the kind of system I'm working with now, I just have to do
whole bunch of extra clicks because the tool guys are a little behind
on the programming.
