Abstract

See full text

A user declares an intention to perform a task in a social network. The system allows others, connected to the user within the social network, to provide social input that expresses interest in the task declared by the user and uses social mechanics to express support to the user and to assist in keeping the user motivated to perform the task. When the task is complete, the system notifies the other users (the stakeholders) and awards incentive.
