<[[Brennen]]> IdeaLogging. GoogleAnswers is one example of what I'm thinking of: People pay for answers/solutions, which then become public knowledge.

Anything along these lines that I'm interested in works to increase available public knowledge while generating income for researchers, rather than creating some kind of WalledGarden with an entrance fee. I come across these things a lot when I'm searching for a solution to some specific software problem, where more or less my exact issue is posted with a "join to see the answer" link. This is kind of infuriating, and even in situations where I would gladly pay for a quick fix I can't actually bring myself to underwrite it. It feels to me like there's a moral imperative of some kind that this stuff should be openly accessible on the web.
