> all they did is provide the platform, and store the data. You're seriously underestimating the effort it took to build that platform and how much effort it continues to take to keep it running well. I'm not talking about technical challenges, but social ones. It took a long time for them to get the system and incentives right (and it's still not quite right, IMHO), and it takes continued effort to keep it running well in the form of moderation and stopping abuse (and here it also doesn't quite get things right). I could bang out a "BufferUnderrun.com" in a few months; many people could. But that's not the hard part.
