Please help me construct the growth engine of Kiwi News.

Is making people share Kiwi stories on the FC feed the way to do this?

I think getting into the feed one way or another sounds right. Another thing I can think of is somehow having the content stay the same throughout the day the way techmeme does. To put that another way it doesn’t feel like a story can “win” at Kiwi News. What qrcoin is doing is not totally unrelated but the incentives are.

really like the idea to keep the site fresh for a day, that feels like the right model. And then serve US and EU mostly? Or US day?

That’s a good point, techmeme probably has a US day and a content focus that works for that. but I don’t know when they reset. Also does the Kiwi in the name imply a New Zealand connection? If so a simple cutoff wouldn’t work. There are other ways to limit it but my feeling is that revamping the incentive structure would have a bigger result than focusing the content.
