Stack Exchange As A Service
Joel Spolsky’s looking for a way to monetize a garden of Stack Exchange’s for a variety of topics ranging form law to whatever. The way this works:
You create a proposal, You get people to vote on which proposals are followed through, You do the beta test (where you seed questions and a few answers), You do the open beta, and then… you get the warm fuzzy feeling of using the live product and getting questions answered. Spolsky gets cash.
Count me out, unless there’s a revenue sharing model for the people with subject matter experience who do all the heavy lifting.
