While I understand Stack Exchange's slightly locked-down approach from a business costs perspective, I sometimes wonder if it stifles the organic growth of their solution.
- w1ntermute 16y agoI think their belief is that the organic growth that will take place during the public beta will be much greater if the sites are first seeded with lots of content by a small group of dedicated users.
- slantyyz 16y agoIf it were my product, I would have made it possible for anyone to create a StackExchange site instantly. I am of the opinion that their current proposal/ vetting model is yet another misstep. The first misstep was the high pricing model of StackExchange before it went free. I'm a big fan of StackOverflow and Joel, but the way they're going now, I'm not sure they can make lightning strike more than once.
