I don't often do that by the way but I am going to give it shot. First, I think anything Web 2.0 is for the most part in it's adolescent stages and many people are jumping in trying to figure it all out. I don't doubt that many are looking for the moniker (which I had to look up the meaning of this word by the way) but I do believe, I have to believe, that people are hungry for the conversations. Second, I think these Social Networks are in many cases like real life in that if you see a large group of people rush over to the sidelines it's bound to grab your attention. So, I would imagine that if you have these kinds of numbers in your particular groups it's because people are curious, they are interested in what's going on and ultimately want to talk about it. The spammers, ahh, I guess they are like the paparazzi trying to score big where the conversations are already taking place. Perhaps I am off here but thanks for the blog post and keeping it real. John Howell Francois,

ALWAYS look at their profile to see if their background is topically relevant and ALSO look to see if they have a 'sea' of badges already collected.

If you want serious group involvement, you may need to gate it.
