tvlinks.co.uk Update
After trying this morning to discover what is happening, speaking to the Glouctershire police, Glouctershire Trading Standards office and FACT, I just managed to speak to Mr Leviten - the Head of Communications at FACT as he was getting on a plane to Asia about 5 minutes ago. He has confirmed to that the 26 year old man who was arrested has been released without charge, pending further investigation.
Is it logical to think that it is just a matter of time before someone tries every idea ever thought of?
Well onward we plod. To date the humanopinion.org message seems to be largely falling on deaf ears. Perhaps saying that ears cannot hear the message as there is too much other noise would be more suited.
Anyway, what is the message... I thought I might blog it here for some more visibilty. Well it is fairly simple really. There are over one billion people online today and we do not record our opinions in a centralised and concrete way. There is no free global data set on human opinion and it would be so easy to do.
At some point in the future artificial intelligence is going to start playing a role in society and when it does, it will be fairly rudimentary. It will not be able to search through the blogosphere and determine what people think and value. We need a concrete digital data set on our humanity. If not for AI then at least for the future generations, so they have a record of humanity that everyone could participate in when something made them want to record their opinion.
Well we have now officially entered into the blogosphere.... I feel like Captain Kirk without a starmap. It really is like opening a door in space and shouting, wondering if someone will hear you, as your shout drifts off into infinity... HELLO.....
So if you ever have to start a blog for a specific reason, we recommend you check out the two following resources:
How to Attract Links and Increase Web Traffic – The Ultimate Guide - http://www.copyblogger.com/increase-web-traffic/
And
Ask Dave - at Intuitive Systems - How to get bloggers to write about your product http://www.intuitive.com/blog/bloggers_to_write_about_your_product.html
This is not even funny! There is SO much information on the web, where do you start? With a blog Technorati I guess.. but you need to claim a profile so here we go...
Hope this works...
First, we would like to say thanks to everyone that has joined the community!!!
After the initial buzz of the launch, we came down from our high fairly quickly. Our expectations were unknown, but I personally think most of us thought that we would get quite a lot of users quite quickly. This has been a slower process than most of us expected :) However, you never know where to set your expectation levels when you start.
It is a bit of a rollercoaster though. We have had a lot of good feedback and some very critical feedback, but that is to be expected. Much of it was valid and we took it on board and made some changes to a few things.
hO is GO
