Excellent feedback points, thanks! -How would you deal with people who aren't 'in the know' enough to earn back points? Maybe there could also be a way to buy points? I'm not sure if that would be demotivating or not though. Alternativly I would think some of the tasks require nothing more than going to a website and determining if something has happened, e.g., new homestarrunner cartooon. -How would you prevent them just creating a new account to get more points? Maybe only allow one account per email address / sms address? -Chicken and Egg Problem ... How about this, if you correctly report when an event has happened you get X points (perhaps related to the number of people subscribed to the event) But if you get reported as inaccurate, you lose points. -Define 'timely manner'. And do you get points even if you're not the first to say that an event has occurred? How about we accept as many reports of as event happening as people submit. The first person gets the points, but if the first person is found to be inaccurate, then the second person gets them, and so on down the list? -monetizing ideas: I like your charging for delayed updates for bugs idea. Other options could be to sell points, or perhaps have a premium account that gets a short head start. Also product release notifications could make heavy use of affilite income.
