Either... Just doing a literature review at this time, so trying to find any research that's out there on this topic... Thanks, Yosem On Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 4:34 PM, Dan Perkel <dperkel@ischool.berkeley.edu>wrote:
By trying to better understand "who these content producers are," does this mean you are looking for qualitative studies or surveys of people who post (anything) to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, etc.?

Varies... In some cases, it's about sending emails to mailing lists, so only a subsection do that. But then there are those who post versus view photos on Twitter, or those who post versus view videos on YouTube. In these studies, however, they tend to focus on the comparison between content producers/consumers but don't describe who these content producers are.

Hi Yosem,
Do the studies to which you are alluding say what they mean by "content"? That may help answer the question.

Hi All,
There's a lot of research that shows that only 1-10% of people in online communities and social networks create content. Is there any research that shows who these people are, what do they make, and so on?
Thanks,
