My Linked Notes

  • Stack overflow is the clear example. They created great [[incentives]] for random people to answer random questions for other random people - for free. Or, more accurately, for a boost in reputation on the site. Writing better answers to more questions benefits them. So who are they really writing the answers for? You? Or themselves? Does it even matter? I think it does, but more for the stack exchange sites to think about, not for the people partaking in the interaction.

One last thing
