Imagine if when you were commenting, you had the ability to nest your comment within a conceptual mind map. This technology would allow one to "build on the ideas of others" rather than just cut it down.
Idea inspired when responding to Q on the TED survey regarding "point system for ranking comments"
My comment: Sometimes, challenging views can be important for real innovation but often people who like a perspective/idea become closed to questioning voices/views, how does the point system accommodate diverse perspectives and support potentially conflicting views? It seems that points create a competitive rank environment that can be rapidly polarized rather than a collaborative, dynamic, expanding space - why not create a technology that allows for mind mapping comments, to allow building on the ideas of others - within mapped concepts, ranking comments might be helpful, but developing an innovative system for responding that builds on the dynamic of TED seems like the opportunity here?
