LinkedIn is going the way of Facebook
StackOverflow uses badges and fake internet points as the mechanism to encourage usage.
Not sure what Slacks pulling factor is
- ams6110 8y ago> Not sure what Slack's pulling factor is Initially, it was better than alternatives. So the draw was that it actually did something useful. Now, it's where everybody is, so FOMO is a big part of it now. I've never used Slack, so it's just my hunch.
- OliverJones 8y agoSlack's pull factor? My boss told me to use it. And, it's better than email for workplace communication. Stack Overflow's? In my case, reciprocal altruism. I get a TON of benefit from it, so I like to contribute to it. Y-Combinator's? I'm not sure, but here I am using it.
