technology.guardian.co.uk — It's an emerging rule of thumb that suggests that if you get a group of 100 people online then one will create content, 10 will "interact" with it (commenting or offering improvements) and the other 89 will just view it.

Content still king, not conversation.

I thought about that too, I have read TFA, and the text also says 1%. Are we that stupid? 1 of 100 is one percent. Cent = 100, as in CENTury, CENTimeter, CENT, CENTiliter, etc. One per 100. 10% is ten per 100, and so on. This is not nuclear physics.

The 1% refers to the one out of every hundred people who actually create content.

Sounds like the 10% rule to me.

I agree with this. I run one of Yahoo's most popular groupswith more than 14 000 members. 13 950 are passive observersbut sadly most of the 50 who contribute are morons. Make of this whatyou will...
