 Major Update! : "Wisdom of the Crowd" Model

As you might have already noticed,
we've gone though a major change.
We introduce you to our "Wisdom of the Crowd" model.
Now, all the selected posts are syndicated
not only inside the widget but also on our
main page's Random Encounters section.
From now on, anyone who wants to participate
MUST participate from someone else's blog post.
What does this mean?
This means that, finally anyone can receive a referral fee,
and it also means that the whole referral fee budget
WILL burn out eventually.
It's just the matter of WHO will receive the referral fee.
This way, we believe our system can work to provide
more reward to the bloggers who have written higher quality posts.
Here's our belief.
If your post is very well-written, then many people will
like your post and participate from your post.
Otherwise, they will look for some other post to participate from.
Why? Let's think about it.
The blogger who wrote the post you are participating from
will receive a referral fee when your post is selected.
Now, would you participate from a post of 3 lines of meaningless
flattery, or would you rather participate from a post that
contains a well-written analysis or even provides some
insightful constructive criticism?
We trust the wisdom of the crowd,
and believe our model will work to stimulate better quality posts
as well as to provide more reward to the bloggers who have
written high quality posts.
Of course, even this "better" will be decided by the crowd,
and that's why we think it will work.
We plan to experiment a little bit more before finally opening up
completely, but according to what we have observed so far,
we believe this will indeed work out very fine.
Thanks for all your interest and feedback.
