Feedback on a feature
As you may know, <a href="http://sharecred.com">ShareCred</a> is based on the philosophy that we need to reach out to people outside of our immediate circle. (Yes, HN allows that, agreed, but HN is very limited in expression, and not really interested in exploring the possibilities. You can think of ShareCred as similar to HN, but based on a blogging model, and bringing in controls based on one's relationship and expertise.)
Assuming that you are with me so far (with regards to what ShareCred is), I would like to ask if the following feature is of any interest to anyone.
<b>Feature:</b> Ask questions to our 1st, 2nd, 3rd degree of relations (or to people with certain recognition), and getting feedback anonymously or not.
You can think of Quora being brought down to your 1st/2nd/3rd degree relations or people of certain recognition.
What I am seeing in this idea is couple of things. 1. Asking questions to people outside of your circle, but still controlled. 2. Getting answers anonymously from people in your circle, or not.
For example, a question such as 'What wine do you drink?' is not something we want to put on Quora (of course, you can put on Facebook, but as I argued sometime back, it has limitations.) Such questions are ripe for limiting to your circles, and in some cases, benefit from anonymity.
What do you think?
Thanks again for your time, ShareCred
