I read an article that has given me much to think about today The quantity not quality is the key to the popularity of social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter
according to this article evaluated the number of mentions which gives a user on these social networks apart from the quality of what actually bring in what he writes. English text
" New research suggests that regular updates online - but not interesting or funny - that is the secret of success of the personal blog and social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.
was found was the number of non - its tone or value - that was the key to more fans and more friends on the internet.
Those who regularly update their web pages and blogs were considered more attractive and popular than those who did not. Be positive and interesting did not seem to have the same effect.
Jamison Susan Powell, a doctoral student in Sheffield Hallam University, presented their findings at the annual conference of the British Psychological Society.
For the study, 75 participants were asked in an online social community site posts Livejournal.com, where people post entries about daily life that are shared in the pages of the other within their communities.
Researchers analyzed a variety of factors including the number of blog posts each participant had done, the total word count of your blog entries, the tone of their posts - whether they contained the words negative and positive - and the number of friends they had. Each member
online community were asked to rate their impressions of each member on a scale of 1 to 5 (one is the most appealing and attractive five) after a week.
They found that the popularity of the participants could be explained by their activity within the community, but not by the tone of their posts.
"Words have contributed most to a person, were rated more attractive than the other members of their community. The strongest factor was found that the total number of words that had contributed more than a week," said Ms . Jamison-Powell.
"Not surprisingly, we also find the amount of material that a person had contributed was related to the size of the network. Once again, the people who contributed most had the most friends in their network. "
However, the tone of the comments of an individual - especially if they contain positive or negative words the most part - it was not related to how attractive they were qualified.
" We concluded the study for one person to be online is popular quantity, quality and not really care, "Ms. Jamison-Powell said. via telegraph "
What I wonder What we read on the Internet? and What we write on the Internet?.
is valid to write what you do, social networks are for sharing, but it is also true that not everyone you care if the toilet or take a coffee.
We can use these media as means to share knowledge and create a better culture in the other, no waste which lines, better take it. Compartamos
quality not quantity.
