There’s nothing wrong with lurking
“Lurking is learning. Lurkers distil the knowledge others have accumulated. Lurkers learn from each other and from those who voice their opinion. Lurkers are a heartbeat away from participating” Nick Kellet

It’s not about Klout scores, follower counts or blog hits…
….Value comes from conversations, exchanges & shared ideas
“We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results.” Herman Melville
Reciprocity is key
