I think the token economy thing is a good idea. You could also do a market approach of rewarding people who pick the top performers, but that gets really tricky.

That books looks sweet, thanks for pointing it out. Reminds me of a good post by Seth Godin I read the other day: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2008/07/let-me-see.h... I started down this path, looking at things like: - number

Great article, thanks for providing a point of view from someone who's not talking out of their a$$ (aka me). The wiki idea is very, very interesting - it's got that same "I'm not doing this for money but to help the world be a better plac

Thanks for the correction, I've updated the post accordingly. The idea behind the 10 minute sessions was to address issues with short attention spans. Maybe that could be another dynamic variable - the lessons change in duration once they

You may want to come out to the Seattle Tech Startup meeting on 8/12 on the UW campus. I've been going for the past year or so and it's usually a fun event. http://www.seattletechstartups.com/doku.php

Startup ideas are just the beginning of my plot. These ideas are really just my way of getting some attention prior to the release of my new site: ClubbingBabySeals.com. Once that IPOs, I should have enough money to buy a really, really,

You caught me, man! I actually did have a few paragraphs tackling this but to be perfectly honest A) it was really boring and B) given my status as an MS employee I do need to be a little careful with what I say around this. Not even so m

Same thing could have been said about Facebook re: MySpace. :) Seriously though, this is a good point. Any time you go up against a competitor with a product in market, billions in the bank, and a huge incentive to make there product succ

Thanks Jim! I gotta say, out of all the ideas I've posted so far, this one is probably my favorite. If anyone does want to pick this up, shoot me a mail at kleneway@hotmail.com and I can offer some additional thoughts and features that I

Hi Dave - There are actually two sides to this project. A Startup A Day is a brainstorming excercise where myself and occasionally others throw out ideas that we think might be interesting. As you might expect from any brainstorming excer

You know, originally that was where my train of thought was going. Then I did some quick research to see what else was out there, and found this Facebook app called "Date My Friends" that operated on this principle. They've been around fo

Slinkset is very cool, I was playing with it earlier today but probably should dive into it a bit more to see what all it can do.

Hey guys - while I kinda dig getting a little traffic after a good year+ of toiling in obscurity, I totally understand if you'd prefer to keep every post off Hacker News. Anyone who wants to subscribe can do so here: http://feeds.feedburn

Thanks for the links - I checked these out, and while they are cool CMS products, it's not quite what I had in mind. I'm not looking for a full CMS system or framework, I just want a simple library + compiler that can plug into any existin

Cool, I'll have to check those out. I was selfishly hoping that something like this is already out there.

Thanks for the link - definite similarities in the end goal, but for me the big difference is that this doesn't capture the fun and excitement of a real newsroom. The ideal execution of this idea would be much closer to a social game than

Very good points, thanks for the feedback. I spent a year teaching computer classes for middle school kids, and it really was an eye-opening experience. The basic concepts we take for granted (clicking the mouse button, refining a bad sear

It's a tongue-in-cheek reference to how people call the iPhone the Jesus Phone. The main idea = for years mobile phone companies kept churning out iterations on a single UX, and it took Apple starting from scratch and focusing on design fi

gtani - thanks for the link, that's pretty much exactly the idea that I was picturing in my head! I gotta check that site out, sounds like good times. To be honest, I generally try to stay away from music-related ideas on my blog, 'cause

Tichy - great idea! Along with the A Startup A Day idea generation site, I also have recently kicked off a new video show called A Startup A Week, where we take an idea and give a team one week to build it out and present it to angel inves

I love this post! Over on my "A Startup A Day" blog, I've decided to take the next 30 days and dedicate each daily idea to address the broad ideas outlined on this post. Should be a fun challenge, feel free to check it out over at www.ast
