After writing up the following in a brief message to fellow blogger Randall (recently discovered both of us perceive a similar near future). I thought it best to share the direction I’ll be taking the blog over the next few months with VS community members (aka readers/commenters, you).
Just a heads up for the topics I like to study/concentrate on/write about:
- business efficiency, productivity philosophies
- #1 matching our work with what we love to do, but generally how I’ll run my company… TBD
- communication (social media, one to many, many to many)
- social collaborative design (tools, areas of interest)
I’d like to see what Google wave can do for the last 2 (communication/collaborative design) or better yet what I can do with Google wave.
Some things I’d like to learn and write more about:
- emergence software concepts
- huge systems of simple tools from which incredibly complex applications emerge
- semantic tools
- language analysis tools
- optimality of communication
- prime factorization
- prediction
- numerical features
- information compression possibilites
- open software initiatives: can we pattern a similar structure that somehow rewards developers based on contributions (credit, money)? The challenges include:
- fair attribution for work done
- project management/focus
- laying out virtual landing pages/hooks for developers to discover and sink their teeth into
