For now, the verification process is a massive traction barrier. I'd go with a trust system until you start to see dodgy data.

Movies are a one-time thing, but web sites morph or get completely reworked over time - and being able to work the historic angle is something I'd love to try to capture.  You are indeed part of the target market for Webcred.it: an individual expert who couldn't be recognised for their expertise on a particular project. -- Happy to explore the Stack Overflow herd-type verification... How do you see it working? What would be a minimum criteria to go live? How would conflict be resolved? How would we stop that 13 year old kid from Molvanîa claiming they built the entire internet? Thanks in advance, Alex, everyone - really appreciate your time/thoughts...   AB On Friday, January 24, 2014 9:49:42 AM UTC+11, Alex North wrote: IMO you should ditch the hard verification and replace it with a community/trust/vote thing, Stack Overflow style. I no longer have access to most of the sites I built because I'm an individual contributor, not an agency. Most of the "application"-style sites would be built this way, their creators having moved on to other things. I was about to list some of my work, but now learning it will never be shown makes it kinda pointless.
