Thingology (LibraryThing's ideas blog): When tags work and when they don't: Amazon and LibraryThing

  • Tagging works well when people tag "their" stuff, but it fails when they're asked to do it to "someone else's" stuff. You can't get your customers to organize your products, unless you give them a very good incentive. We all make our beds, but nobody volunteers to fluff pillows at the local Sheraton.

Participation Inequality: Lurkers vs. Contributors in Internet Communities (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)


    • User participation often more or less follows a 90-9-1 rule:

      • 90% of users are lurkers (i.e., read or observe, but don't contribute).
      • 9% of users contribute from time to time, but other priorities dominate their time.
      • 1% of users participate a lot and account for most contributions: it can seem as if they don't have lives because they often post just minutes after whatever event they're commenting on occurs.
