I'm working on what I'm calling a "provenance server" that tracks the spread of information. It's a little hard to explain. In my notes I wrote "better Twitter" and "no bullshit". Rather than track people surreptitiously it's completely public and voluntary. It allows for feedback to let people "+1" items on several dimensions (basically a big bag of emotional adjectives) and I want to rank the "truthiness" of facts, from physical laws and math (at one end) to opinion and interpretation at the other, with a (metaphorical) low-pass filter for BS and crap. All information on the network is public, there is no walled garden or silo. The idea is to think things out together, in public, avoiding repetition and noise.
