A wave is a live, shared space on the web where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.90-9-1
If you spend any time at all talking about online communities, you’re bound to stumble across the 90-9-1 Principle. The idea is simple: In social groups, some people actively participate more than others. Researcher Jakob Nielsen calls this “ Participation Inequality “. These three groups make up an ecosystem, of sorts. Pulling on one group affects the distribution of the other. Of course, it’s typically not possible to change the distribution in significant ways, as the more people added into one group directly drives the growth of the other two groups, maintaining something close to a 90-9-1 split.Intellipedia is a wiki launched by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence . It is used by all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies and other national security-related organizations, such as combatant commands. Three versions exist on each of the networks by classification: Top Secret (JWICS), Secret (SIPRNet), and Sensitive but Unclassified (Intelink-U/NIPRNet). Unlike Wikipedia, all edits are attributable. It was launched with the intent of helping the entire Intelligence Community share information, collaborate, and integrate their knowledge dynamically into issue-based articles – essentially becoming a “community of analysts.” It has grown tremendously since I began using the tool in November 2006.
