Lurkers within

This is me – I’m a Lurker – hang out, I scan, I soak things up and then push ideas. My weblog has always been a place of reference for my thinking more than a place of commentary.

Lurking – Ton on Lurking and Weak Ties and their value in networks. Ton has a superb article on the value of lurkers and their weak ties and their power to help networks… [Robert Paterson’s Weblog]

Interesting notes about lurkers and their significance. Inside companies I think there are, typically, less forums to lurk in. Developing a weblogging culture will help to promote the lurking within. Ton has also prompted me to wonder about whether there should be tools for lurkers. If we see lurking as a useful complement to participation, what can we do to facilitate it?[Curiouser and curiouser!]
