A Jakob Nielsen study once found that 90% of online community users are lurkers (read or observe without contributing) with only 9% of users contributing ‘a little’ and 1% actively contributing. I find that people have responded to this and that comment threads generally stay constructive as a result. Be humble.

The goal of this article is to discuss the Salesforce.com community strategy and not the products, although there may be some reference to products and functionality because the Salesforce.com community is built using their own products. I was unable to get statistics for “lurkers&# , but I am sure it is high.

When you read an article on this blog and see related links underneath it, those links are generated by a plugin. Contact Commenters , the subject of an earlier article illustrating how to turn a lurker into a user , enables me to target email messages to people who comment on specific posts or haven’t commented in a given period of time.

Contact Commenters , the subject of an earlier article illustrating how to turn a lurker into a user , enables me to send targeted email messages to people who comment on specific posts or haven’t commented in a given period of time. This helps when I want to change the way blog posts are organized together.
