"Social Proof" link is broken #115

Open cstroe opened 7 years ago

cstroe commented 7 years ago

On the Ask User Guide page, the link for "Social Proof" is broken.

Here's what I get when I try to download that PDF:

Is there an up-to-date link for this PDF file?

Hey, this is an old comment, but could be closed. The link now works, pointing to the Wayback Machine cache of the file.

That said, it seems to me that waiting for the download is a pretty slow way to get the info, and then on top of that, the relevant bit is buried in the paper -- it's halfway into the author's six principles. Instead, the reference could link to the Wikipedia entry for social proof, or even to the specific section citing the work and author that the PDF does.
