Ask HN: Incentive Mechanisms to Promote User Activity? (karma/badges, etc)What are you thoughts about various incentive mechanisms to promote users active. There was a interesting talk in #startups last night about this, and I think a bigger audience would find it interesting as well.For example the most basic method is Karma/Points for submission and getting voted up (such as HN, Reddit).A variation of the above system is propagating points from child-to-parent. For example voting a child item/comment will also give points to it's parent (or fraction of a point) to the parent. This way items that start active discussions or activity with child submissions are promoted with more points.Another is a badge/achievement system. StackOverflow is one, where users can collect various type of badges for doing certain things or reaching milestones. (Someone brough up Xbox live as well, where achievements not only for positive aspects, but also for glorious fails... so who knows). A twist on this is not only having badges, but also having badges convert to point value

Ask HN: Seeking a cofounderI've been creating a service targetted at indie filmmakers (but any indie video content can use) for Internet distribution.This includes a digital distribution platform Which let's end users keep their purchases in the cloud and let's producers sell their work online as downloads. This also includes API integration with social sites like YouTube to help with viral Internet marketing.I've consulted, and still am consulting with, indie filmmakers about their specific needs to fine tune this for them. The above two were the main ones: mechanism for distribution and marketing. So this is going to be more like 37signals than loopt in that we're not going to focus on any one specific thing that is profoundly new.I'm only looking for technical founders, and you'll probably have to like the indie industry (circumventing Hollywood distributors) or at least indie films, to be passionate about this.Also i've already finished at least 50% of the prototype (I'm sufficiently technical). EDIT: I forg
