Inbound.org - Hacker News meets stack overflow for marketers

@rrhoover Hi Ryan! The objective is to maximise interactions between members. I used to think of it being around the quality of articles on the homepage... not the case. Discussions need time to develop and stay around, so we weigh the back-and-forth between people much more highly. We try to seed discussions with those back-and-forths (for instance the AMAs) and then schedule promotion around those to maximise eyeballs and engagement. On your dev server, I'd be interested to see what the PH homepage would look like if you weighted comments *insanely* high. Each submission that reaches the homepage is like jumping off a cliff where upvotes are for the 'take off' and comments are for keeping it 'air born'. I experimented recently with weighting one comments at 5000% of one upvote (!!) ... and the results were awesome. One thing we're working on right now is groups - gather people around common ground (an event, company, location, topic, tool etc.) where they can interact more closely and regularly. Really early days here :) What about you guys? The brunches sound awesome. MOAR community building with bacon hehe...

@edfryed yes, Bacon is our strategy. :) From the beginning we've been fairly transparent in what we're working on and involving the community heavily in our decisions (#buildinpublic). It's important people feel their voice is heard and it gives us valuable feedback for ideas we're working on. Similarly, we also have dozens of people using the Product Hunt API to build things. I like the thinking behind maximizing user-to-user interactions. PH is still very early but we have a few ideas on how we can facilitate more + higher quality discussion, one of them being the rank of comments to encourage more thoughtful commentary. What's the most surprising thing you've found building community, Ed?

@will_lam Hi Will! The community was started by co-founders Rand Fishkin (Moz.com) and Dharmesh Shah (HubSpot.com). The former has quite a focused SEO following, which also is an active industry for ideas, discussion, tools, news etc. hence the slant. re: policing, we've always depended on a positive-only upvote system, though this suffers if the community promotes 'popular' over 'good' content (the latter's so subjective though). We tend to think of it in 3 buckets... *AWESOME*, meh... and spam/irrelevant. The middle one generates indifference and is a secret killer. Indifference doesn't generate discussion, and steals valuable pixels from other submissions. Working out how to handle existing 'meh' content is tricky... One way we define "good" is by featuring submissions that the community submits. i.e. building the editorial layer on top of the democratic community voting. (http://inbound.org/all/featured). We're not there yet :-) There's more things we can do to empower the community voting system, perhaps by giving trusted, active members extra powers that they'd earn the right to use and keep. Curious to hear if you've any thoughts or suggestions?
