What if products needed to cite their sources for functionality like academics do with research? What if they had to explicitly say what features of other apps and knowledge from other thinkers they were building on?

An excellent example of product citations from Worldbrain Memex. Any more? https://t.co/zX8VhSqSrZ

An interesting thread on this. Yes, and... citing each other's work can essentially be a public expression of appreciation. This could support the shift from competition to collaboration. https://t.co/WQMgRIfAq2

Add @logseq to the list of products citing their sources. I especially like this graphic at the bottom of the webpage that @OGreenius links to https://t.co/GVQqlyDLVQ https://t.co/DZVOqqdbxf

I read this recently & I was initially like "nah https://t.co/lRiGUxBh9B is original!" then realized that while it's indeed unique and unmatched, it's totally a mashup of:  • iDoneThis  • Pick Four / Ziglar goal stuff  • nowdothis.​com (now dead)  • pomodoro technique  • &+ https://t.co/fLaXz57Lkn

.@visakanv makes an excellent point that it can build trust and win over users of predecessors in a reply to Malcolm’s tweet above. While some product creators may worry that appearing unoriginal deflates their product, it can actually strengthen it and accentuate its innovation

So I guess we can shift the question from what I had in the header tweet: instead of “what if products needed to cite their sources,” we asked, “how might it be in the product’s best interests to cite their sources? What are existing incentives around this, and HMW shift them?”
