Change.gov Uses Google Moderator System
GMonkeyLouie writes "The website for President-elect Obama's transition team, Change.gov, has unveiled a section called Open for Questions, which lets users submit questions and vote them up or down, in an effort to let the collaborative mind produce the questions that are the most important to the American populace (or at least the web-savvy portion). The page is powered by Google Moderator. It was unveiled yesterday, and CNet reports that when they went to post last night, '159,890 had voted on 1,986 questions from 3,255 people.'"
so these brilliant people actively choose to remain ignorant about such affective technology?
No, I mean affective - as in "tending to affect" (try learning to read a dictionary). Anyone who chooses to actively remain ignorant of the capabilities and limitations of computers and their influence on individuals and society ... ain't as smart as they like to believe.
Sensible? Larry Silverstein said in an interview on PBS that they decided to pull the building (7) because of the fire. What exactly do all of you smart fellers on /. suppose "pull the building" means?
The Towers? They fell because some airplanes hit them. I think that is understood. Why building 7 fell, much less caught on fire, is where the investigation needs to be. I guess I am just a conspiracy theorist nut though.
All points of time and space are connected.
