We can agree that sharing is good. That said, then, how woul we design a system in such a way that it inherently fosters sharing. Steve Egan looks at this interesting question and offers a few suggestions. He writes, "sharing is a behavior that can be designed into systems and features. Attribution, citation and quotation all go hand-in-hand for this. All three are preferred behaviors in a sharing culture and correspond to rewards, open connections and actions. Put them together with some technology and you might get what I'll refer to as an ODSCS ( Open Distributed Social Content System )."
