Nearly 80% of People Participate In Online Community to Help Others

September 3, 2012 By mark david mcCreary

Vanessa DiMauro digs into some data to answer the question – Why do people participate in online communities ?

To learn new things is an almost universal answer, and many people are comfortable in using microblogging platforms like Twitter to reach out and ask questions.  Only a small percentage of people are trying to proselytize or sell products online.

So, at the end of the day, key take-aways include;

  • Our understanding about the nuances of online collaboration channels are growing on sophistication. We choose specific tools for different purposes and people, accordingly.

  • Most participate in online communities to share information with others and to help another, even if they never met in person. 

  • Most use social networks to learn and get smarter on topics and to connect with or learn from experts.
