Steve, What about an Internet Evolution Junior section? There is a YouTube for kids where the youngsters can post, share and feel they have their own space. IE could offer a special place on the site for the so many whiz kids in the world who follow the latest news and innovations happening on the Internet. We all know that there are many Internet experts under eighteen out there. Many of them will probably be the developers of the future. It would be a good idea to give them a little push and support.
How about a collaborative project with the schools worldwide? the project could combine the English and Technology classes, maybe some others too. Supervised by the teachers, the best articles could be posted on the Internet Evolution Junior, where other students could comment and share their knowledge, ideas and thoughts with parents, teachers and even us, who could also act as mentors in some cases. I am pretty sure IBM would be glad to sponsor and support a project like this.
The project would help motivate the students in improving their writing, grammar, technology, computing classes to mention a few. We will be using our social networking knowledge for a new audience and expanding the IE to those countries where it hasn't reached yet or doesn't have registered members. How does it sound?
Steve, I guess your kid is very happy every time you go to one of these events or interviews and come back home with a new toy. :) Two on the list that I know so far.
we think the tournament will be a good place to find some users from the 18 countries where IE still doesn't have registered members!
Excellent strategy! I was also wondering about the connection between IE and soccer/football.
I like the idea of the kinds in New York and South Africa interacting on the Internet, building bridges between nations and sharing likes and experiences.
With all due respect, it is call Football! There is no way we (I mean the entire world) would allow the U.S. to redefine our beautiful game. Call it what you may but we still consider it to be football even though the NFL has a new follower in me.
So my question now is how does IE get related with soccer? Are you just trying to stretch the frontiers of IE to areas we are damn interested in? Never know in amillion years that you a Brit!! Are you scottish in particular or Irish because I just can't keep up with the noisy English even though I'm a die-hard Manchester United Fan??
Steve and Nicole are at HCL's Unstructure conference at Disneyworld where Malcolm Gladwell and his hair gave a fascinating keynote on the advantages of being an "outsider."
President Obama appoints a Twitter CEO to an advisory committee; Rep. Anthony Weiner sends a racy, career-damaging Tweet; and Nicole and Steve laaaaaugh and laaaaaugh.
Facebook's Graph Search may face some profound challenges and risks, first, because Facebook users haven't been thinking of their posts as product reviews; and second, because Facebook will now have to contend with the social-network equivalent of SEO "gaming" of results.
Based on reactions in Nicole's Newsfeed, everyone hates this version of Facebook. This should matter to Facebook now that there's a real competitor on the scene named Google+.
Allowing users to share music and video on Facebook might sound like good news, but is this part of a coherent strategy, or is Facebook just stumbling from idea to idea?
MySpace is reinventing itself by focusing on content, but it's too late, and other social networks should learn from its example by looking toward a telco payment model if they want to sustain user commitment and their own revenue.
We do love our social networking, but, according to computer scientist Jaron Lanier, we may be diminishing ourselves when we join the hive. “May be? Ha!” says Mr. Cramer.
