		<description><![CDATA[I just finished reading an article called "Active lurkers - the hidden asset in online communities."  Here's an excerpt:

"Most communities have 90% of users who are lurkers – people who may consume things from the community, but who don’t contribute...While it is inevitable that larger communities will end up with 1% of their members being very active users who provide enough value for the 9% of somewhat active users, who together provide enough value for the 90% of lurkers, the largest form of participation in online communities happens to be active lurking, which according to an MIT research study can make up 40-50% of your community membership."

And it struck me that I hate the term "lurkers."]]></description>
