The incentive for me is that the information becomes off-line first. I've been on Scuttlebutt for 5 years now, and all of my discussions are available to me to go back to and expand upon whenever I want, no matter if I'm connected to the internet or not. Necro-posting (bringing up old discussions) becomes a viable option, as does scouring through old information. What is more interesting to me, is utilizing this functionality for something beyond a social network, something more productive like an ERP system, yet allowing the social aspect of collaboration improve such a platform.
