Billions of people participate in online social activities. Some users participate as readers of discussion boards, searchers of blog posts, or viewers of photos. A fraction of users become contributors of user-generated content by writing consumer product reviews, uploading travel photos, or expressing political opinions.

A small fraction of users become leaders who participate in governance by setting and upholding policies, repairing vandalized materials, or mentoring novices.
