I agree with Brandon that the X-axis of trust doesn't hold up. As information brands, the BBC and WSJ are highly trusted (I would guess) by the majority of their community members. Another interesting riff on this diagram might be to do a version that is member-centric and shows the relationship between member and the larger community ecosystem, i.e. I am a member of the Craigslist, Yelp, Amazon and WSJ communities. Regardless, it's very cool that you are thinking through this and posting about it. I look forward to seeing more :) This is a nice atempt at categorizing types of online communities.

However, the roll-up of trust as you present it across the x-axis of your diagram seems to break down at times. While I might trust say a heavily reviewed restaurant on citysearch than a single author's review on BBC if I'm looking for a recommendation (a subjective choice), I'm sure going to trust the BBC more when it comes to facts (the objective). I wonder if you're only speaking of certain dimensions of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust_%28sociology%29" rel="nofollow">trust</a>, such as faith in benevolence versus faith in competence. I'm also wondering if the x-axis should be deep to shallow instead of high to low. Or maybe something <i>slightly</i> more objective such as relevance or validity is appropriate. Or, maybe you just can't chart trust... There’s some nice, nuanced thinking here. However, the roll-up of trust as you present it across the x-axis of your diagram seems to break down at times.
