Finally, it's highly appropriate that content within social media remains work in progress, because it reflects the fact that learning is never ending. References Engeström, Y.

What can we learn from the open and free social media tools we use? Do we pay indirectly by giving away our information, is this leveraged to make money through advertising clicks, and do we become assets and commodities of the companies that run the social media services?

This is because they go through a process of peer review and revision, and then they can hit a brickwall if the journal has a significant backlog of accepted papers, and a page count limit (which most do). How about some monetary reward?
