- 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 https://scrapbox.io/nishio/社会的証明
There you will see a page that records the use of that keyword in a specific conversation. https://scrapbox.io/nishio/高速道路のたとえ
- The abstract concept page is supplemented with concrete examples to clarify the meaning, and the Specific Usage Examples Page provides explanations for abstract concepts that are used without explanation. 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.
