    I have to admit, I am often a “lurker” which is probably why I love Pinterest … I don’t have to actually contribute anything, but my ole enchilada casserole was delicious last night. 

   What if everyone is a “lurker” does it become a glorified super-uber blog? If the community is small I think that this is often where the community rests, with only one or two people posting. I wonder if those posters asked for examples of success or questions in comments if that would “push’ the “lurker” among us to participate.

   I have seen posters ask for examples or ask for people to post their thoughts and lurkers (including me) still don’t always heed the call.  We simply keep lurking.

    I like what Kevin said earlier about recognizing people who contribute so that they feel valued and welcome in the community.

    Model different types of posts to show different entry points into the community (deep ideas, questions of practice, soliciting ideas or help, etc.)
