Laurie, I'm not familiar with any literature and am looking forward to others posting some good refs but you might expand your search to include "trolls." Charlie Balch professor of Computer Information Systems Arizona Western College

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone is familiar with any academic literature that discusses seeding forums within online communities? By seeding, I mean posting messages from community moderators to get conversations going within online communities. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
