How Many Internet Users Does it Take….

July 19th, 2006

Interesting figures from the Guardian on Internet particpation:

“Bradley Horowitz of Yahoo points out that much the same applies at Yahoo: in Yahoo Groups, the discussion lists, “1% of the user population might start a group; 10% of the user population might participate actively, and actually author content, whether starting a thread or responding to a thread-in-progress; 100% of the user population benefits from the activities of the above groups,” he noted on his blog in February.”

This make sense. As the new Web takes form (we’re not even close folks), these numbers may change. What will be interesting is if they don’t. Will 2.0 be as participatory as we think it will?
