Illogiblog - The ?media weblog: Class system on wikis

Class system on wikis

Warning: rant.

If there's a class system in normal societies, then surely on an Internet society (like a wiki) there's one too. It looks something like this...

Upper class: Founder, 1st wave contributors

Middle class: 2nd wave contributors

Lower class: New users, or "noobs"

The question is: Is there social mobility?

We could actually conduct a sociological experiment on our own humble wiki.
