Diversity of online community activities [PDF]
Proceedings of the nineteenth ACM conference on Hypertext and hypermedia, 2008 Web sites where users create and rate content as well as form networks with other users display long-tailed distributions in many aspects of behavior. Using behavior on one such community site, Essembly, we propose and evaluate plausible mechanisms to explain these behaviors.
