Comments on: My [annotated] big idea: We need a TiVo for ideas http://snarkmarket.com/2012/7857 The stomping grounds of Tim Carmody, Robin Sloan and Matt Thompson. It's a long-running conversation about media, journalism, technology, cities, culture, design, books, music, movies, the future and the past.

Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:47:23 +0000 http://snarkmarket.com/?p=7857#comment-128193 I have a 'Tivo for ideas' already. It is my note-taking program. I use a note-taking program (personally, I use cintanotes) for jotting down ideas that I wish to keep private. I tag idea notes with the keyword ".ideas" so just a click on the tag ".ideas" in the tag sidebar lists all ideas. For collective ideation, which you have discussed in this post, I refer to a new startup site called rocketr dot com. You might want to try it out... I have a ‘Tivo for ideas’ already.

How do you categorize and weigh the importance of ideas that are ascribed tagged by their creator, and create a sieve acknowledging the best ideas, and the best method for bringing them to fruition? Furthermore, how could you get people to recognize a standard format for an idea, since there are as many methods of delivering ideas as there are means of sensory input? Consider reversing the process of Matt Richardson's Descriptive Camera. Just getting a tweet that reads, "I'd like a painting of this sunrise, it is pretty" is a banal statement, but presuming it's filtered through Monet's eyes, the idea, properly processed, creates something magnificent. Not nearly as complete a thought as I'd like to express, but a good start for an off the cuff conversation. This seems to be a filtering issue above all else.
