We're talking about social media participation in class and are looking at Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff's Groundswell text for reference.

This is a good time to look at the 90-9-1 theory for social media communication.

• 90% of users are "lurkers" (i.e. they read or browse but don't contribute)
• 9% of users contribute from time to time, but other priorities dominate their time
• 1% of users participate very often and account for most of the contributions

Considering this blog attracts the attention of nearly 100 people during the early weekdays, we can apply the 90-9-1 theory to WIB quite easily.

• 90 of you are primarily lurkers. (Mom's coworkers, Dorde, Poem, Nonna, Amber, etc.)
• 9 of you contribute from time to time. (Jeanna, Anna, Cari, Scott, Sergio, Nina, Amanda, Matt Wood, Gramps)
• 1 person participates very often. (Me)

The theory rings true, don't you think?

Bellingham photos are here. (If the slideshow images look distorted, click "Options" in the upper-right corner and uncheck "Embiggen small things to fill screen.")

Sergio: "Yo, it's taking time for the brotha Paolo to edit them Bellingham photos."
Amanda: "Yeah, so be patient or we'll bust a cap in your ass, fool."

I just came back from spending a glorious day in Bellingham. I have some homework to take care of now, but look for more pictures later. Later.

I'm going to attempt to live blog the VP debate tonight. The key word here is "attempt."

UPDATE: Dude, live blogging is WAY too hard.

Here's a summary: Palin is avoiding the line of questioning to keep to the script. I can't blame her.

I'll leave you with this powerful observation by Moos: "Why is she wearing black?"
