How Should I Vote

by Chris Gilbey on November 17, 2007 02:14PM (EST)

Facebook is a brilliant way to virally distribute memes.

I was invited to install an app called How Should I Vote

It was created by Get Up and is really a totally brilliant product for everyone in Australia going into the election.

What it does is to filter your beliefs via a number of questions and then matches your answers with the various candidates in your electorate.

The result is that you are provided with your optimum match which means that you get past the clutter of ad spend and rhetoric and get to what would be best for the country according to you!

This is the sort of thing that gives you hope for democracy. And it mush drive the major parties totally mad.

Here is a thought for you...

Here is a thought:

Media and religion supply the white noise that interrupts our ability to think with clarity.

And now because of the incredible power of YouTube the option is ther to find material that will enable clarity. This has got to keep a lot of people in politics up at night trying to figure how to harness the power of YouTube.

Perceptric Forum

According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network.

Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network.

The Perceptric Blog is where Chris Gilbey posts thoughts, ideas, and links intended to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas.

Chris is available for consulting work with the premise that it is not technologies that are disruptive so much as the people that use them.

The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.
