• [[social dilemma]]
  • A bit heavy handed. [[on the nose]].
• See a problem, like to think of how to solve the specific problem.
  • Scales up clearly to company-sized
• [[cooperation]]
  • Different at different scales.
• Other extensions in this space: [[competitors]] or [[cooperators]]?
  • [[memex]]
  • [[hypothes.is]]
    • See [[annotation standard]]
  • [[quotebacks]]
• [[game theoretical]] aspect of cooperation towards a [[goal]]
  • Cooperators might become defectors
    • What about [[open source]] as a solution to this?
      • Would like to do it but also would like to have a sustainable business.
• [[wikipedia]] style project
  • It didn't seem like it would work, then it did.
  • Social ranking, coalescing is as hard.
• The most achievable thing.
  • Decoupling the data store from the social network.

    • Perhaps I know a developer that could be interesting in joining force. Working on the write/thread creation aspect.

• What's the USP for [[threadhelper]]?
  • Starting from a very concrete problem (Twitter), other projects have a very wide scope.
  • [[hypothes.is]] is a lot more focused on annotating the web.
    • They might be adding note surfacing though.
  • We (nosilverv and exgenesis) have a good instinct.
  • [[wikilinks everywhere]]
• [[agora]]
  • A protocol for integrating with n backends/formats with "constant" cost.
  • An implementation that makes it easy for integrators to operate with data from all these sources, and to use action modules.
