Steal This Idea


"But we did find a bulletproof topology for assigning metadata to business content strings. MindShare was based on the idea that, if something is worth keeping at all, it should be available fortuitously when we're looking for things like it but may not even remember this item specifically. The universal topology for everything we need to keep track of is the IPIA coordinate system. IPIA says that the meaningful text strings in any file, correspondence, meeting, call, etc. can be classified unequivocally as an Issue, Promise, Idea or Appointment. You'll never mistake an issue string from a promise received string.

And obviously our world is defined by promises payable and promises receivable. Making them explicit is a Good Thing."

Surveys from Within the Aggregator: Things that Make You Go Hmmm...


Loyd's Curiosity

This is totally cool that I could receive and vote for this from within my aggregator. It gives me all sorts of ideas for our blogging + news aggregation grant project! Thanks to jenett.radio for highlighting this!

Hmmm... indeed: as the developer of SurveyAnalysis.com I had to try this, but when I voted my aggregator page was replaced by the poll form, which was somewhat disconcerting (I'm used to aggregator page links opening a new window).

[Update: this appears to have been a Safari bug -- Safari behaves as if a <form> in an <iframe> has target="_top" -- not the case with Explorer or Chimera.]
