Who is doing what with Web 2.0
Franklin, T. and van Harmelen, M. (2007) Web 2.0 for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education, London, The Observatory on Borderless Higher Education.
A widely quoted rule of thumb is that 1% of Web 2.0 users create content, 10% comment or in
some way add to the content (e.g. adding a tag), and the remaining 89% consume content without
adding to it. On the basis of survey data, Forrester Research has refined this broad distinction into
categories of creators, critics, collectors, joiners, spectators and inactives.
