Tech Tool: Mind Mapping Comments Widget  {idea}

23/9/2010

0 Comments

 
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?

What do you think?
