If you were going to build a piece of social software to support large and long-lived groups, what would you design for? The first thing you would design for is handles the user can invest in. 1.) Second, you have to design a way for there to be members in good standing... some way in which good works get recognized 1.) Three, you need barriers to participation 1.) ...you have to find a way to spare the group from scale. Scale alone kills conversations, because conversations require dense two-way conversations

When you are solving a difficult problem re-ask the problem so that your solution helps you learn faster. Find a faster way to fail, recover, and try again. If the problem you are trying to solve involves creating a magnum opus, you are solving the wrong problem.
