16. Social engagement means how interesting or relevant people
have found an item or category to be.
Examples of engagement include writing a blog post in response
to someone else, bookmarking an article, leaving a comment
on a blog or clicking a link to read a news item.

17. 5Cs of Engagement
From http://www.postrank.com/postrank/
The strongest form of engagement is demonstrated by using an item as inspiration to create your own,
for example, writing your own blog post that responds to or refutes someone else's blog post. Creation
requires the most thought and investment of time, actively generates conversation, and therefore
indicates the highest level of engagement.
Creating
Reading a blog post and then leaving a comment requires an investment of time, thought and effort (or
sometimes just typing and name-calling...), and is a form of conversation. However, it requires less
effort than writing a whole blog post. So while it is an important action, it does not indicate as much
engagement as Creating.
Critiquing
Sharing and discussing information can often be started with one click, so it doesn't require a major
investment of effort. However, a desire to share is a strong indication of relevance, and the act of
sharing and its ensuing discussion are acts of conversation. Use of social media applications like
Twitter encourage both the sharing of information and the resulting conversations. As a result, social
media "chatting" indicates a good level of engagement.
Chatting
Bookmarking or submitting items to social sites also tend to be "one-click" actions. They are intentional
acts of archiving and sharing, but don't require much time or effort. However, the sharing that occurs
often sparks conversations, so Collecting does demonstrate some engagement.
Collecting
Activities like clicks and page views indicate lower engagement because they're passive interactions.
Clicking a link to read a blog post doesn't require much work, and you're not giving anything back
except your reading time. It is an intentional act, however, and thus indicates a mild level of interest
and engagement. Which may grow after the item is read.
