how is select * from friendfeed feedback sorted by likes + comments descending? Sean McBride: “Now we’re getting somewhere with smart noise reduction” - I like to call it “smart signal amplification” 
If FriendFeed is Twitter on Steroids, what would be FriendFeed on Steroids?

Simple sharing directly from FriendFeed
apart from the text, link, allow me to share
1) tags (del.icio.us) ,
2) nicknames (selective sharing)
Eric Schmidt Reveals Google’s Secret : “They can learn to listen. Listening to each other is core to our culture, and we don’t listen to each other just because we’re all so smart. We listen because everyone has good ideas, and because it’s a great way to show respect. And any company, at any point in its history, can start listening more.”
[Ignore This] Assumption: Company Email address should be used _only_ for business use. [Why Ignore? Read Freewheeling about work-life balance]
What If
1) All my in and out emails can be seen by my manager, my manager’s manager until the Chairman ?
2) Every email that I send and receive goes through a ticketing system i.e., if it is a new email - subject will be prefixed with a ticket number and/or the details added to a company-wide ticketing system.
At any time.. I should be able to
1) close the tickets
2) mark the ticket as public which should send email to all involved to agree to this status !
3) rank open tickets and even closed -> to let my colleagues know of my top pains and tips

Jolt Awards Categories 3. Collaboration Tools: Includes groupware that facilitates communication and sharing of information (internally and externally) to increase organizational efficiency, individual accountability, and managerial effectiveness. This category does not include tools that actually produce code and system artifacts.
trigger for the post: No ownership, no accountability - wikis, collaboration software, social media, Enterprise 2.0 and how not to get things done.
1. Business is a value chain, a social value chain with a clear purpose.
2. I am a part of a value chain and will have to do my part. For that I need ownership to what I’m supposed to do. Either I do it or somebody else does it.
3. We all need accountability, if somebody else is dependent on what I’m supposed to do I better get down to it. And vice versa.

Collaboration takes place when you do what you are good at, and when you let other people do what they are good at.
mmm.. It looks like we still have no software in the enterprise to make the people accountable
What features do we need?
1. When I have a problem to solve, I will create an item which will consist of a short-text, details, (attachment!?), tags, people-who-i-think-can-help-me
2. Now some one in the list of people-who-i-think-can-help-me could either help me, give a clue, and/or add more people-who-they-think-can-help-me
3. repeat step 2 until problem is solved !
Other features:
4. Whenever I have a new problem, I should rank the new problem relative to the list of existing issues so that the people-who-i-think-can-help-me know my priorities
5. Users should be able to change their relationship to items from “i can and am trying to help” to “i cannot help but interested in the outcome” - Now the software should let people get updates depending on this relationship like “update on every change: new clue/memo/hint or new people” or “update weekly” or “update at the end of closure” etc
6. let answers be rated i.e., thank users for the clues/hints..
7. ..thinking..
Is there any software that has the above features ?
(NextBestAction is something am working on with the above requirements in mind)
note: PLM is usually Product Life Cycle Management
can also be Problem Life Cycle Management

Dear Gmail
I have created lot of labels and one of them is xyz
Am looking at a mail and I want to label it xyz
There are 2 situations: Either
1) I do not remember that I created xyz or
2) Am lazy to scroll down the list of labels to look for xyz
Due to the above reasons, I click on “new label”
The pop-up is “Please enter a new label name”
I enter “xyz”
The message is “The label name you have chosen already exists. Please try another name:”
Oops. Why can’t Gmail accept this label and say
“Dear Kishore. You were lazy to select the label that already existed. I assigned the existing label. Have a nice day. Wish you a lazy day:-)”
Pinging the latest post in The Official Gmail Blog: We are Hiring
some heroes : ..I’m not claiming this is a list of the n most admirable people. Who could make such a list, even if they wanted to?..
Clarification needed !
LiquidPlanner is slow but looks promising
It would have been better to let me assign multiple labels/tags to a task instead of 1 category !
Also, can users be interested in tasks apart from being assigned ?
