- amichail 18y agoI think you misunderstood my proposal.
- superchink 18y agoYou might want to help explain the differences between your proposal and friendfeed, so he can better understand.
- amichail 18y agoThis isn't about tracking contributions to social sites. It's about showing people what web page you are currently looking at, even if you are not contributing any content.
- superchink 18y agoI see what you're saying. My initial thoughts are that there would be serious quality control issues. For example, I know that 90% of the content I look at on a daily basis is of little interest to someone else, and probably a sizable percentage of that is not even really relevant for me. How would the content be filtered, if at all? I'm not knocking your idea; I'm just trying to imagine the value of such a tool.
- amichail 18y agoYou would specify which domains/URLs you would like to broadcast. So if something is obviously of little interest to others, you might want to keep it private. Also, as mentioned elsewhere, you could make it so that a URL would rank higher if more of your friends looked at it in the last 30 minutes, etc.
- aswanson 18y agoWhy don't you just put it out there and see if people like it?
- amichail 18y agoWell, for a start, it's not easy for me to build since I have no idea how to build browser plugins... There's also a privacy issue. Maybe people would not trust my implementation really does what I claim it does.
- aswanson 18y agoJust do it. What happened to the LCD numbrosia you were going to do? I was thinking about that; pretty good idea. You wouldn't even need lcd's just an array of digital bar displays.
- amichail 18y agoThat touch screen puzzle device was just an idea I had. It wasn't something I had the expertise to build. In any case, I later found out that it has already been done: http://gizmodo.com/338502/magic-cube-heralds-the-future-of-gaming-and-human-interfaces http://gizmodo.com/338502/magic-cube-heralds-the-future-of-g...
- aswanson 18y agoI don't see numbrosia on those things! You can still do it. Every idea is already implemented in some form or another anyway. Team up with a hardware EE, a good undergrad could do it. You have the code already. Start her up.
