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

  via @DT and as a very welcome reminder, the classic Jakob Nielsen text on participation inequality, aka 90-9-1 rule, complete with visualizations …

  Myself, I have always argued that
  1. this is more about the internet, and less about intranets et. al, so Enterprise 2.0 people don’t need to worry THAT much
  2. 90-9-1 is a deeply pessimistic view on things (alas, you decide whether it’s pessimistic or realistic), in the enterprise we should go for 100-100-100 always (and yes, we can)

• CloudNotes: Why Google Reader is still hugely important (to me)

  A great piece on why RSS readers are still of importance to us, the knowledge workers. True for knowledge workers in Enterprise 2.0 ebvironments too, not all can be done via Friendfeed or Twitter.

  Take this together with Lee Bryants fine reply (I will bookmark this in Diigo as well) on Steve Gilmor’s dim-witted claim that RSS is dead. And yes, Lee, I loved this thing about consultants with short-attention spans
