External expert meeting feedback
today we had a meeting with an external expert , Ms.Lisa Lindstrom which is very talented. the meeting was very useful and fruitful, especially regarding technical issues and how our ideas will be implemented practically. our project as you know includes five products , and she really liked three of them with no comments, while the other two were a little controversial.
the ideas that passed without comments are : Blog Alarm , BullShit detector, Truth Plate
Who else :
some questions were raised like what is the difference between that and Google for example. the answer was simple , that it is somehow limited to opinion searching , and it enables communicating with people and sending them messages , as a tool to be able to find out about credibility of the things we read.
that was when she asked how that can be implemented technically. there was some sort of confusion about that question , we couldn't really answer that. maybe because we didn't dig deeper into it while discussing it to begin with.
then after that we had a team meeting to discuss those notes , and there's a serious suggestion now to merge this application with "truth plate" . but we need to discuss that further.
See my Footprints
the external expert was kind of shocked of the purpose of this application. she was wondering why would anybody be interested in making his browsing history open for everybody. and she suggested that here will be privacy settings that enable you to control who sees what. means that you can hide some websites you visit. we thought this is interesting but then the whole purpose of the application will disappear.
This application is designed specifically for bloggers and similar ones who have their own online outlet that is targeted to people . and it is designed for them as a message they send to their followers that they don't have anything to hide , and they are open, to increase transparency and credibility. It was just our try to find creative tools to enable people to be qualified judges on what they read in online media and be able to differentiate between true and false.
in our meeting afterwards , we thought of making those privacy settings optional , like for some people this will be like a social tool to share links and open discussions about them through messages between members or even in a forum on the web page. and for other users it will be as a tool to increase credibility among their followers and readers.
we thought we were done with the project , but it seems that we need to work more and more on it. It is not bad , I mean so far we still have three products out of five , and the other two can be discussed.

* * * The no 1 idea * * *
Who else will ADD TRUTH TO YOUR NETWORK?
The HyperHummus ambition in a long term perspective is to "Add taste to your network". And for our first project we choosed to focus on:
ADD TRUTH TO YOUR NETWORK
With the following 5 products:
Blog Alarm - Bloggers life jacket!
A device that keeps you updated with all bloggers you want to connect to, who alerts you when they have been inactive for a few days. It brings attention to bloggers who writes about bold stuff, and the risk they are at. You follow the "silence", not the activity. It keeps the chain strong between bloggers, because it tells you when a link is missing.
Truth Plate - Believe it or not
This is a ranking system that allows you to categorise mediaposts (blogs, podcasting, news, broadcasting etc) in terms of credibility. Is it true or false, what do you think? Rank it from 1 - 5, and tell people WHY you think so. A creative and visual way of showing statistic results.
Bullshit Detector - Find the baddy!!!
A internet-spyware that locates antidemocratic expressions (in text, video, images and sound - a very advanced technology :) ) and tells you where the monsters are. You can also add your own keywords of what to look out for, and add examples of baddies...
See my footprints - Follow me
A service that is volontary (of course) that allows you to open up your internet-history to everyone. Let people see where you are surfing, and you will get a chance to see where they have been. A two way exchange, to increase trust and transparancy in social media.
Who Else... - ...thinks, acts and feels like me?
This product gives you a chance to "google" for peoples opinions, in order to find people who share your point of view, or experiences or impressions. If you want to ask the world if they think like you (or opposite way) this is the easiest search-engine to use. If you dare to.
