Barcamp

 

For those who don't know, Bar Camp is a loosely organized geek festival. Everyone who attends gives a short presentation on whatever they think would be interesting to the group.

 

Presentation spaces and times are handed out / rearranged as needed. Basically, everyone is nice and things roll along smoothly. Surprisingly smoothly. So smoothly it makes me doubt my cynical view of humanity as a whole. Or maybe it was just a good crowd.

 

The Barcamps have been around for a while. We should get one started in Finland. The Open Enterprise could be a theme. I mean the book we are co-creating.

 

Content

 

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.

 

 

Earlier metrics garnered from community sites suggested that about 80% of content was produced by 20% of the users, but the growing number of data points is creating a clearer picture of how Web 2.0 groups need to think. For instance, a site that demands too much interaction and content generation from users will see nine out of 10 people just pass by.
