Mobilizing Lurkers with a Targeted Task
Users of online communities are commonly classified into active members versus lurkers. In this work we experiment with a method designed to encourage lurkers to share their acquired social capital with a community through lightweight contribution. The findings from our experiment demonstrate the importance of exploring new ways lurker populations can offer additional benefits to online communities.
