    41. “ Online Communities and Their Impact on Business: Ignore at Your Own Peril” http://rubiconconsulting.com/downloads/whitepapers/Rubicon-web-community.pdf
      • About 80% of user-generated content on the web, including comments and questions, is created by less than 10% of the users .
      • Despite the low number, online communities have enormous influence on almost all web users. Online comments and reviews posted by the enthusiasts are second only to word of mouth as a purchase driver for all web users.
    42. “ Online Communities and Their Impact on Business: Ignore at Your Own Peril” http://rubiconconsulting.com/downloads/whitepapers/Rubicon-web-community.pdf
      • Web discussion is theatre: it is a great way to interact with customers, because average customers watch and listen .
      • Even though you can’t get most of your customers to interact with you online, they watch what you do with the most frequent contributors, and they judge you based on it .
    43. “ Online Communities and Their Impact on Business: Ignore at Your Own Peril” http://rubiconconsulting.com/downloads/whitepapers/Rubicon-web-community.pdf
      • Half of all of the most frequent contributors are age 21 or younger.
      • If it sometimes feels like people online behave like children, that may be because many of the noise ones are .
    44. Remember how it felt to say, “We no longer need books like this on our shelves” ?
    45. Look how far we’ve come
