This study examines one-hour Twitter chat to contribute the research on designing online learning communities to support effective learning. The authors illustrate the network structure, as well.

Interesting term I came across! Breaking the silence of your lurking aka delurking.

Back in my heavy blogging days, people would hold "delurk" days, posting "Olly Olly oxen free!" like kids playing hide and seek.
