And hate to be too pragmatic - but it will come to priorities and the size of available money pots. If money were no object, I am sure many good and excellent causes would be honoured and poverty would be reduced. But it "is" an object - so we carry on. I have little faith in humankind also to not fall down to its all-too-often ways of greed and aim to divert some of the good-cause money to themselves. Think about how much aid money to Africa got wasted and stolen... It's about the mindset which is too entrenched for many. This takes generations to overcome. But if we have more great-meaning people like yourself, then we are moving in the right direction. So thank you very much for speaking out your thoughts, and for listening to my frustrated ramblings!

]]> Comment on ‘People You May Know’ on LinkedIn - how does it work? by totobogy http://totobogy.thoughtbubblez.com/2008/04/18/people-you-may-know-on-linkedin-how-does-it-work/#comment-83 totobogy Wed, 08 Oct 2008 06:06:51 +0000 http://thoughtbubbles.wordpress.com/?p=48#comment-83 I still don't have an answer but I believe Linked-In uses a number of heuristics for this prediction, including, perhaps, some that you guys have mentioned. Facebook also has similar feature now (in fact they have had it for sometime now - I was too lazy to update my post :)) but theirs doesn't seem to be as accurate with lot more false positives showing up. Linked-In is way more accurate. One plausible explanation could be that a profile on Linked-In typically contains much more relevant and useful information (Like schools attended, places of work etc) than a corresponding profile on Facebook.

For me the same, after mailing with a person using gmail in "People you may know", the person's name appeared. I have two theories: 1) Gmail So this could mean the information comes from gmail? I hope this is not the case..I think theory (2) makes more sense. 2) Stereo curiousity Or.... I remember googling this person before emailing, because I was about to buy something from this person. In google results LinkedIn popped up and I looked up the profile in LinkedIn. What if, that other person did the same, that could be a possibility as well, let's call this "stereo curiousity". Maybe LinkedIn matches stereo curiousity and suggests this person in "People you may know". Both scenario's are easy to verify. Any other thoughts? Okay, this is weird.

But I want to think about it and at least believe that it is doable, even if only in parts. Perhaps because the financial crisis is so immediate and obvious (or at least we think it is) we feel the urgency to react to it - giving it prime time coverage, designing multi hundred billion dollar bailout packages etc. What if we could design a similar 'bailout' package and channelize it properly to educate say a few thousand children? @ curiouslyinspired

I was thinking about it earlier and ur possible solution is viable. A retractable pair of headphones even for a MP4 player Organised chaos is a different subject im looking into but random chaos is by chance Nice 1
