Best Answers!
Ask MetaFilter, in addition to being one of the best, most useful sites on the web, has a great feature to encourage good contributions: Marking best answers. I really think anyone who's ever left an answer that got marked by the questioner as the "best" really got some satisfaction out of it.
So today, I'm proud of me and Jason for our Best Answers. I talked about business blogging, and Jason talked about cerebral palsy. My topic's not nearly as weighty or learned as Jason's, but I just liked that we're both good at what we do. :)

Congratulations you super rockstars you!
This is good, and seems to be the opposite of what Yahoo is doing with their Ask the Planet contest, which just encourages people to give any old crappy answer in order to get entered to win prizes. How is that good community building.
awesome.
I send all the doctorly questions to Jason over IM, esp. the "what ailment is this?" ones.
Whenever I see the little check mark next to a post, I usually scroll down to see the "best answer" first. Very cool.
