Thanks for leaving this item in the blog. I was just explaining this very concept to several colleagues the other day. They mentioned that they haven’t waded into the twittesphere yet and I instructed them just as you did. Account not needed to acquire some of the benefits. At a Web 2.0 summit I heard the participation model for social was 1/9/90 rather than the standard 80/20 rule. I usually encourage the folks in the “90” be they passive readers or “lurkers” to join the dialog and at least be part of the “9” those people that do not directly produce new content but those that drive the dialog through their comments and retweets.
