[Search-l] Fwd: Scour invite

[Marc .]

Hi Mark,

The first link that appears in the mail was only www.scour .com
anyway I understand your angry and u are right, i should delete any
other link (i did it now) --and put a space in the scoour link to
avoid any misunderstands)..

Coming to the reward system, this approach could benefit wikia if it
made in a different/ "wikia original" way to engage people to
collaborate in the community.

Apparently wikia doesn´t has any revenue yet, but the quality of the
SE could allow it to have it, in this case the contributors could have
a share (let say, 20%) of the revenues according to their contribution
--this could be done if we "adapt" the ESP game  (cited here in a mail
before) to work in results pages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP_Game
(yes, i am a marketing man and think that a strong marketing plan
could make wikia works better ; )
What do you think?

Best Regards,
Marc Rosenfeld
