I am currently working with Michelle Rogerson<\/a> on a research project studying the rise of popular user-generated content online.\u00a0 In particular, we are interested in identifying the reasons why some content (such as some YouTube videos; see Top 10 YouTube videos<\/a>) gain star status, whereas others are barely paid any attention to.\u00a0 We surmise that network properties as well as author characteristics both contribute to such contrast in circulation and popularity.\u00a0 I will talk more about the research project in future blogs.\u00a0 But right now, as part of the project, we are conducting an exploratory survey of people’s usage and sharing of user-generated content.\u00a0 We would appreciate it if you could please spare 10 minutes of your time to fill out this short survey<\/a>.\u00a0 I will post the findings on my blog once the survey concludes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
