Hi Alex, you may be interested in the IBM research report "return on contribution (roc): a metric for enterprise social software" by Muller et al 2010 which tries to develop a metric for the creation and creation of information and knowledge in social media applications. http://domino.watson.ibm.com/cambridge/research.nsf/58bac2a2a6b05a1285256b30...

Alex Leavitt <alexleavitt@gmail.com> 10/3/2012 9:07 >>> Hi all!
I'm beginning a project on social reposting in social media sites, but I'm having a (surprisingly) difficult time digging up relevant pieces of literature on the subject. If anyone has any leads, please do email me off-list, and I can compile the results afterward! Note: I'm not interested in social sharing (eg., 'I posted something I think other people should see on Facebook') but social re-sharing (eg., 'I clicked [Share] on a friend's Facebook post so others can see it too'). The best (only?) paper I could find is danah's older piece on Twitter retweet practices: http://www.danah.org/papers/TweetTweetRetweet.pdf Thanks for the help!
