+### Channels
+
+Channels are simply collections of content that are stored in one place. A channel can stand for anything. It can represent you, a website, a forum, photo albums, anything. For most people, their first channel is ‘Me’.
+The most important functions for a channel that represents ‘me’ are:
+
+- Secure and private ‘spam-free’ communication
+- Identity and ‘single sign-on’ across the entire network
+- Privacy controls and authorisations that extend to the entire network
+- Directory services (like a phone book)
+
+In short, a channel that represents you is ‘me on the Internet’.
+With one account at a hub, several different channels can be created and used, each with its own individual configuration.
