Currently I am preparing a research project in order to estimate the
potential of ugc for establishing a higher engagement of the visitor
in ch applications.
Besides that I would like to find out if a low-threshold authoring
system (low-threshold authoring: easy, less demanding production of
content) leads more people into more complex production processes.
This sounds really theoretical, but in the case of your weblog/flickr
site, Tom:
Did you do a kind of formal evaluation whether people who tagged
photos are more likely to add comments to the weblog?
Any other kind of field data from ugc experiments would be
interesting for me as well!
Ciao and feel free to reply to me directly as well,
Lars
