Hi Alex,

you may be interested in the IBM research report "return on contribution (roc): a metric for enterprise social software" by Muller et al 2010 which tries to develop a metric for the creation and creation of information and knowledge in social media applications.

Hi all!

I'm beginning a project on social reposting in social media sites, but I'm
having a (surprisingly) difficult time digging up relevant pieces of
literature on the subject. If anyone has any leads, please do email me
off-list, and I can compile the results afterward! Note: I'm not interested
in social sharing (eg., 'I posted something I think other people should see
on Facebook') but social re-sharing (eg., 'I clicked [Share] on a friend's
Facebook post so others can see it too').

The best (only?) paper I could find is danah's older piece on Twitter
retweet practices: http://www.danah.org/papers/TweetTweetRetweet.pdf 

Thanks for the help!
Alex
