communitygoals

  1. As you may already know, CommunityGoals is on hold. I don't know what the future will hold. Feel free to contact me with questions.
  2. My efforts for CommunityGoals have started in DC, but I'm not going to exclude other geographic communities that would like to participate.
  3. Got an email from the News Challenge saying that a 'determined' geographic community was a requirement. News to me.
  4. I won't be able to work on CommunityGoals on a full-time basis anymore. I am exploring ways to move it forward with less time.
  5. Speaking of decision making, Eric Schmidt just said that Google emphasizes "best ideas" over "consensus ideas" in their employee meetings.
  6. Talked with @BerinSzoka about innovation prizes, learned more about the X-Prize
  7. I think CG appeals to libertarians because of the market-type mechanism and progressives because of its purpose. I'm glad.
  8. Got some interesting feedback from people tonight at a happy hour gathering
  9. Talked with @dwitzel about some future ideas; discussing ways of making it easier to bring content to CG
  10. Hopefully the Knight Foundation will like the CG proposal. If so, they will notify me by Nov. 15; the final app will be due on Dec. 1.
  11. Building a Web site that has a voting feature? Please consider randomizing the list of things to vote on, it makes a difference.
  12. Found another example of a site that has the "winner take all" mentality. This needs to be de-emphasized in communities.
  13. Many social competitions use external prizes by big organizations. I look forward to a time when communities self-support innovations.
  14. Incorporating feedback from friends to improve my Knight News Challenge application: http://garage.newschallenge...
  15. Prototyping some new functionality for CG.
  16. Looking at the results from another social competition: the American Express Members Project. It funds projects once a year.
  17. Google's project10tothe100 will fund up to five ideas! Awesome. What about the ones that don't make it? Bring them to communitygoals!
  18. Yes, the current version of CommunityGoals is under repair. I adjusted the API not long ago which broke the front end.
  19. Finished an early draft on how CommunityGoals will impact news delivery: http://garage.newschallenge...
  20. Thinking and writing about how CommunityGoals would help communities create and share news.
