Cansei ser sexy?
I am very interested in this rock-band name. I think it grasp a strange state of mind that appears in the whole society and especially in the web 2.0 world. Sometimes I wonder if, with comming summer, people do not feel tired of being participative, tired of this collective spirit…
Two facts :
- a decrease of the number of comments on big blogs like RWW, techcrunch, mashable,…
- rumours insisting on the fact the new facebook is less interesting than before
Sometimes I feel like if Twitter was the only one that would keep the magic alive… Fortunatly, this just a feeling. I think, there are are more on more users that participates to web creation. Moreover, webusers seem to be more mature. I think webusers are becoming more selective (about where it is interesting for us to participate) and more qualitative (we pay more attention to the quality of our participations) as to their paraticipation activities. Webusers are not “cansei de ser sexy”, they are managing their efforts to be more sexy! And, that is great…

With summer sales people are more concerned about being sexy IRL!
I agree though, there is a maturity effect on webusers. I would be interested in tracking categories shifts from passive web readers, to commentators, to editors and contributors. Do you know if and where I could find some figures?

Yes a tremendous study had been done one year ago by forrester. It was called “groundswelling”. You dedicated a post on this blog to this study “are you groundswelling” it was one year ago I think. However the figures are moving so quickly that it is really hard to keep updated.
