Does content categorization lead to knowledge building? An experiment in a social bookmarking service
We aimed to verify whether content categorization leads to knowledge building (KB). We ran an experiment in the social bookmarking service Uxmarks.com. We measured the perception of KBuser participation (lurking or posting behavior). There was no correlation between KB perception and user participation. In other words, and lurkers and posters could equally benefit from the service.
