What I’m thinking about right now

Maybe I should be using twitter for this, but these need some explanation and are things I don’t want to forget…

  • Using the humans on twitter as a mechanism for large scale data computation – How would this work? Reminds me of the group mind of the Drummers from the Diamond Age. A knowledge engine seems closer to what twitter can do for you, but distributed computation?
  • Writing a Facebook application that asks your friends questions about you and calculates a trust metric – How would this work? How do you convert raw data into a consistent metric that you can use across people?

That is all. Remind me to work on these, please.
