Twitter: 10% of users = 90% of tweets...not a communication network ?

Besides an analysis of behaviors about how Men versus Women use Twitter, actually showing than Men seem more to follow Men, an Havard Business research demonstrates that
' the top 10% of prolific Twitter users accounted for over 90% of tweets. On a typical online social network, the top 10% of users account for 30% of all production. To put Twitter in perspective, consider an unlikely analogue - Wikipedia. There, the top 15% of the most prolific editors account for 90% of Wikipedia's edits ⁱⁱ. In other words, the pattern of contributions on Twitter is more concentrated among the few top users than is the case on Wikipedia, even though Wikipedia is clearly not a communications tool. This implies that Twitter's resembles more of a one-way, one-to-many publishing service more than a two-way, peer-to-peer communication network'.
What a nice Pareto (80/20) rule exemple !

'Can you "build" a community?' : what about Entreprise related ones ?

I do agree with Loic Le Meur's post about 'Can you "build" a community?' and about what it takes to grow a community from its native 'raison d'être'.
This does make a lot of sense when it is about a community that is not 'Enterprise' related. I would say it is indeed for the Community leader all about being GENUINE when communicating and socializing with others (i love this world in English, translation from 'AUTHENTIQUE' in French).
On the other hand, when it comes to 'Enterprise related communities', and especially aiming at stemming Innovation and good ideas from them, community categories such as Customers, Suppliers, External Experts, Universities and Labs, Startups, Developers or even Employees, i believe it does require some kind of support to give them a chance to happen and grow (as shown with our last initiative to support Internal Participative Innovation). The Community leader is then probably turning into an 'Innovation Community Manager'.
'Innovation Community Management'™ is then closer to a successful blend made of Social Media tools (twitter is one), Idea Management software and processes, community management tools (polls, feedbacks, CRM, etc.) and some understanding of the concepts of Open Innovation and its related issues such as Intellectual Property or Partnership Management.
But again in theory, i guess and agree that communities should appear and grow or die based on their natural and obvious 'raison d'être' either driven by a Super Customer, a leading Expert developer or an intra-preneur employee.

La conception 2.0 selon la 'World Bank'

A Development 2.0 manifesto (6 may 2009)

Inspired by the 45 propositions for social media, below is a modest attempt at putting together some initial thoughts for a Development 2.0 (the application of web 2.0 principles to the development sector) manifesto. This is very much a work in progress, so feel free to add your comments and point out gaps:

1. Think business models, not only cool applications. What we need is the development sector equivalent of companies like Google or Amazon: innovators that radically disrupt the usual way of doing business.

2. Free your data. In the era of mash-ups and APIs, there is no excuse to keep proprietary control over data that could contribute to better policy making and reduce poverty.

3. Fight the not invented here syndrome. Leave duplication of efforts and the ivory tower syndrome to the Development 1.0 world. Use social media to scout the best ideas to achieve development results and catalyse diverse networks around them. Acknowledge that the best expertise might lie outside of your organization. Embrace open standards and make it easy for information to flow from one organization to another.

4. Think “real simple” business processes, from fundraising to reporting. Social media can radically simplify what are often unnecessarily bureaucratic processes that generate significant overheads. Free the energy to concentrate on your core mission.

5. Lower cost of failure. It was difficult to justify before, it’s indefensible now. There’s no reason to sink millions that could finance development projects in expensive IT solutions when there are so many cheaper options available (from open source to the cloud).

6. Fewer “lessons learned” documents, more open conversations about failures. Create an environment where it is ok to fail and talk about failure, so long as you are serious about learning from your mistakes and you don’t spend too much time following the wrong path. Fail often, fail quickly. Trust donors to understand that development is a complex issue.

7. Embrace transparency. You can now make it really simple to track how you are spending donor money. Let everyone hear the voices and experiences of people affected by your projects.

8. What you don’t have resources to do, others might jump at. Social media are great at releasing volunteer energies around your mission. Engage and go beyond your traditional support base.

9. Value (and plan for) conversations with your constituencies, at all levels. Every employee in your organization now can and, most importantly, should want to interact with as many stakeholders as possible through social media to further your mission. Establish a constant dialogue with donors so they don't feel like they are ATM machines. Thousands of conversations a day should be a coveted objective, not a dreaded scenario.

10. Plan for serendipity. Do focus on results, but be open to get to them in unexpected ways, suggested by your the end users. Incorporate user-driven innovation in your proposals.

11. Think about the full circle. Found an innovative way to tackle a development issue? Go beyond the initial success. Use networks to scale up quickly. Make the connection between the results of your experimentation and the core mission of your organization obvious.

13. Cast a wide net. Your partners and colleagues are your filters to sift through unexpected sources of development knowledge. Collect snippets of information from multiple sources and highlight patterns among them. Use social media to tap into weak ties and bring together innovative perspectives to solve tough development issues.

14. Go beyond polished documents. Think visual. Documents and publications are not the natural unit of knowledge. Release unfinished products if this can help advance your cause and get others to contribute. A visual a la Gapminder can be more impactful on policy makers than a publication.
