The Importance of the 10%

themulife.com — This principle leads us to The 1% rule for social media, which says that for any group of 100 people, there will be 1 person that actually creates content (i.e. by submitting stories), 10 people that interact with the content (i.e. by voting and commenting on the stories), and 89 that just view the content. This is also called the 1:10:89 Rule.

  • wayjer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4This is the summary I should have used:

    From the Article:

    "A lot has been written about the importance and the motivations of the 1% so I’m not going to cover that, rather I want to focus on the 10%. These 10% are the most vital part of the community. Yes, the 1% are contributing the content but that’s only part 1. The 10% serves as a second filter, sifting through all the submitted content and helping promote what is interesting and relevant.

    As you can see above iFelix graciously points us to one of those articles that Mu speaks of. Thank you iFelix.
