Something interesting....

[djglenn]

Hey everyone,

I've been busy starting a new business, so have taken some breaks from production and posting here. While I was looking for business info, I came across an article that I found interesting. I want to share it with you. It's geared toward starting a community around your product, so not entirely useful for most of you....however, in terms of forums, I thought this part useful:

10. Observe the 1-9-90 rule. This new rule, pioneered by Josh Bernoff and Charlene Li in their seminal book Groundswell, is quickly becoming a standard: 1% of your population will create content, 9% will comment or engage with it, and 90% will just browse. Voyeurs rule the online world, so keep this in mind.

In other words, for every post you make, 90% of the total people here will read it and 9% will comment on it. (give or take, depending on the subject)
So....everyone KEEP POSTING! I'm sure it will be useful to someone.

The rest of the article here: http://www.openforum.com/idea-hub/topics...ommunities

Yeah have read a lot of this type of thing as well, most famous is the 80/20 rule where 80% of your results come from 20% of your work etc..

Think it applies to music as well. Not as bad as I used to be but could spend hours not getting anywhere and then in 5 minutes come up with something great.

so glad i found this site... definitely going to be feeding some tracks through for mastering pretty soon. That ^article has some really good angles I hadn't thought of before, thanks for that.

Yeah tons of stuff on the 80/20 every where. Especially when it comes to programming, db set up and mapping out systems.
