Effect of backlinks
I wrote about the effectiveness of backlink because Nishio-san, who usually uses Scrapbox with backlinks, asked me for my opinion. For example, if you look at the Abstract Page called "Social Proof There you will see a page that records the use of that keyword in a specific conversation.
The beauty of Scrapbox is that this can be achieved by "drawing a marker on important keywords in specific conversations.
bad example
All "concrete conversations" and very few abstractions of them.
Example: Chat conversations and then "what was that?" after a year because no one keeps them organized.
All "abstractions" and no concrete conversations.
Example: There is a work procedure document in the company wiki, but it is wrong, and the first time user has to have a conversation with others to solve the problem, but the same thing is repeated because the conversation takes place in a place that is disconnected from the document.
Ideally, the operation of Scrapbox would support the process of crystallization of abstract concepts. Scrapbox takes 2 hop link one step further than backlinks. This is very useful. ---
