Ocean of Comments

“Its nice”, “Good one”, “great job”, “fantastic”, “congrats” and other  similar appreciative comments currently forms majority of the comments on web. Appreciation is a great way to encourage people. These comments give feedback to the concerned person so play a vital role in talent recognition ecosystem. But when appreciations just flood a website and drown other useful information then it is injustice to the website users (including the same appreciative people) because other useful information comments got buried under  'good job' comments.


Possible Solution: An app (or a  browser addin/plugin) can be created for filtering comments. App can process all the comments on a webpage and filter them in 4 major buckets namely appreciation, critique, 'related info' and spam. 
Appreciation bucket can club all the congratulatory comments; critique bucket will contain critics’ comments; spam bucket will club junk comments and totally non related info, and 'related info' bucket (the most important bucket) can contain comments where other users have added their own opinion and extended the discussion to higher level or some user commented other contextual useful info. 


Let’s give people whatever they are looking for. In today’s Google-world when people don’t want to waste even a single second in scanning non-useful information and search even for smallest thing, comments should also be filtered to let people read whichever bucket they are interested in. 


Once we started filtering comments this will impact the comments writing behavior as well. People interested in the real discussion will  feel  encouraged and will participate more as they will know that their opinion will not mobbed.

I guess am in BIG league:)

Isn’t everybody thinks that he\she is in big league when they read some biography or interview about a great person. While reading qualities of great person you always think whether you posses that quality or not; if not you want to add that to your profile asap. Ok cut the crap why I think that I am in big league. For the past few days I am seeing that world in implementing the same ideas that I have thought of. I can’t call them my idea as somebody else has implemented them but it gives me a huge sense of ego boost. It tells me that I think in the right direction. First it happened with mail2blog idea (see my last post) and then next came in line diggnetvibes (putting digg features on netvibes). Today I read about ‘Collaborative Filtering’ which I have been thinking of for the past few days. Its sheer pleasure to know that my ideas are worth some salt and people are implementing them. Now the next in line target for me is how I polish my execution skills that I can implement my ideas faster than anybody else.

What is BIG Idea?

I created this blog few months back thinking that I would write my big idea and their detailed business plans on this page. However as it happen to most of other things I kept hunting for a big idea to make auspicious start of the blog. It never came. I waited for long to make grand entry that I miss entry itself, be it small. So just like SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) I would pour my ideas continuously on this page. They might belong to any sphere of universe. I believe power on compounding, just like SIP, would make it BIG some day. See you soon and often mate.
