The Shame of Social Networks revealed – Lurkers and the 90-9-1 law

The whole ‘social network’ fallacy of WEB 2.0 EXPOSED. by the 90 -9 -1 law”

1% drive the engine of content creation, 9% do so every so often and 90% of Social Media types just – LURK. ( The social Media equivalent of the couch potato)

Wake up the next day -your inbox is flooded with emails.
Then the singer makes jokes about you on a national pop radio talk show – the Livejournal -and there’s no stopping you.

Place ads for big league contacts on your original video, and there you are 78.000 hits on YouTube, plus then there’s the follow-ups, the copy cats etc.
