Hi Søren,
I intended to copy the article for you, but there was no time up to now.
The project in South Korea started as a non-profit and intended to build a “new way of journalism”. It turned out that it made that much money, that it finally turned into a for-profit business.
The idea is simple: Additional to your ability to vote on an article you can also donate (pay) for an article you like. This actually happens and thus professional and semi-professional writer are motivate to contribute their best stuff – and they get rewarded.
I think we could do something like this too – to reward the author in the first place for “real smart” contributions.
Actually research shows that if there is “little” money involved future markets (bets) creates the best results – because the incentive is here (the “thrill”) to try hard, but the incentive to cheat not.
Send ya the article soon.
How is work doing in Denmark?
Enjoy,
Klaus

Hi Klaus, Thank you very much for your kind e-mail. Yes, sure – I think this white paper work is most important. Also, could you tell me a bit more about the online newspaper.
Catching up – I will try to get rid of all my journeys. It takes too much time and costs too much. ;-) S*

yesterday we came up with an additional idea – there is kind of “online newspaper” in South China with 700.000 readers daily where the readers can vote on the contributions made by others.
Additionally they can make donations to the authors – good articles are rising up to 30.000 USD a day!
=> Could this be used for fund raising too?
For our white paper – shall we continue doing it?
Enjoy,
:-)
Klaus
P.S. My respect for you getting up at 4 a.m. – I am deeply impressed. If you would run for office – you would have my vote !
