It was months since I mentioned the Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky joint venture stackoverflow.com on this blog. The stackoverflow.com site has been up and running for a while now, and it is both a great resource for getting help, and a possible way to spend a lot of time online. The reward system is devilishly clever, with points awarded according to certain rules and badges handed out for achievements of various magnitude.
I would like a similar reward system on my site Folkmun, but it will take a while before I get even close…
