FACILITATING CONTENT GENERATION VIA PARTICIPANT INTERACTIONS

摘要

Techniques are described that facilitate generating useful content based on user interactions, such as by providing an answer-providing service that facilitates interactions between users who supply questions and users who supply responses to the questions of other users, as well as using the generated content in various ways. In some situations, users are incentivized to participate in interactions with the answer-providing service in various ways, including by assessing and using levels of expertise of the users, such as for one or more categories and in a manner relative to other users. For example, the users with the highest levels of expertise and past participation may be incentivized to continue participating with the system in various ways, including by assigning one or more enhanced incentive levels to at least some such users, and then providing additional benefits of various types to users having such enhanced status.
