“There is power in lurking. To say you have to be connected, you have to be plugged in, contributing, sharing, I’m not so sure…we can’t devalue the power in lurking and taking. So, maybe instead of encouraging (pushing) others to contribute blogs and tweets and ideas, maybe we begin by having a conversation about the value of lurking. Show there is value in what we have here and in other social networks by encouraging others to get connected and take from the network. That just might lead to the growth of our networks.”
