RE: Do you have an IDEA that needs a Website. Let's talk about it NOW on how it can GET STARTED.

in #steem7 years ago

I have an idea... It would be a steembased crowdsourced HoaxBusters site similar to Snopes... I'm a former journalist and I've been posting about this idea for a few days but it's not being seen. What I had the idea of doing was revolutionizing investigative reporting on Fake news and hoaxes... Where people would pay in advance in micropayments for development of articles about various subjects. The money would be paiid into something like an escrow account... it could be open-ended or closed as to how long and how much money would need to be raised to provide the journalists with the resources to do the research and investigating... I was thinking it could also be like wikipedia in that many people could work on the same article... and that a team working would agree in advance how to split the money paid out once the article is completed and uploaded... Anyways... that was my initial thought. Please get in touch if you know somebody who would like to help. I am working on this project with another Steemian who is also a former journalist in Germany. I'm from Canada by the way.

@somena Your Idea is a great one. Based on experience on working on website based projects, we would recommend that you break the IDEA into pieces of achievable goal GOALS. We are suggesting that you have and drive down to what is called MVP - Minimum Viable Product for this Idea.
Don't make the Idea too big to understand for anyone you are explaining it to.
What is the major goal to be achieved in this website project?

Don't forget to follow us @steemserver

Awaiting your response.

Hi there... Ok - the goal is to make a website like SNOPES... but that it would be wikipedia like or steemit based in how people can both contribute to it financially, and contribute to the content development. The key idea is to create a crowd-sourced new and improved SNOPES site that tackled "FAKE NEWS" and hoaxes. It would be called "HOAX BUSTERS" - Are you with me so far?

@somena Thank you for replying. After taking a good look at what you want to get done, we took time to look for someone within the community and found @heimindanger could be able to work better on your project.
@heimindanger has done some project that are awesome within the community know as dtube.vedio and steemwhales.com among others.
