Helium.com is a live reference web site (http://www.helium.com) created by the Internet community. Helium.com covers a diverse number of topics organized into 23 channels. It is the first community-created reference to combine subjective user-contributed content with the ordering capabilities of a patented, peer-review relative-ranking system. Helium encourages users who are passionate about a topic to explore their interest by reading articles provided by others. Users can share their experiences by writing articles or suggesting new article titles to the community. The web site enables those who write to review the work of others, ensuring quality by leveraging the power of peer-review.
How it works: Writers are invited to compare one article to another to decide which is best. Writers within a channel area peer-review each other’s contributions (but not their own) through multiple “A vs B” comparisons. Through an iterative process which weighs many comparisons by many people, content is ranked accordingly. The result is a sorted list of articles on a given subject, each written from an individual viewpoint. The most comprehensive and well-written articles for each topic are presented first to the information-seeker. Helium offers recognition and reward to writers who share their knowledge by submitting articles at Helium. Helium site visitors and the peers who provide peer-review within a channel provide recognition to the contributor. Helium shares a portion of advertising revenue with its contributors. Every article which is submitted is an asset which earns revenue for the contributor based on the rank of the article within the topic as well as the revenue potential for the channel.
