If the Twitter community was 100 people…
Nice infograph showing how 5% of Twitter users make up 75% of content on Twitter. That sounds about right to me and is the same across most distinct communities. What interests me is how the other 95% are probably making up most of the content somewhere else, offline or on.

Us Now: A film about the power of mass collaboration, government and the internet
60 minute documentary about social media affecting society. Notable because it looks at British examples, albeit mainly from a politics / democracy POV. The stuff about the football club is interesting - moving fans from supporting a club to participating in running a club by turning it into a game of sorts.
