Very nice! This is something we cover with clients all the time and is a great tool to help people understand that their are different types of people using their community and creating a different level of relationship with each group.

Interesting post - I've been mapping some of these patterns to vertical markets as well - I see a few things missing or at least worth some discussion - I'll add them to the wiki.

So if I follow a 'related entry' from 10 months ago and comment on it does anyone hear it?

To make sure I'm clear - you are saying Rewards (points?) drive people to be motivated by the points vs the content and Awards (photo contest) still keeps the focus on quality photos, correct?

Interesting - I also wonder how relationships are developed in a sponsored community. Will people develop meaningful relationships as part of the structured community or does the structure prevent it?

Interesting... I wonder if this ties to some of the comments made in the measuring community session where a number of the participants (YouTube, Google, LinkedIn) all mentioned finding ways to measure and engage the 9-percenters.

I guess the real question here is can you really grow the 1-percenters or does the community grow more through the natural turn-over and back-fill of that group?
