Get OutFoxed!

October 7, 2005 sonjab Connection Economy, Teams 4 Comments

OutfoxedI found a link to the OutFoxed site listed on a Social Network Analysis Community. It’s an interesting concept, and I remember reading a related article in Time magazine not too long ago about how social networking and trusted referrals may revolutionise the marketing industry. The main premise was that people usually prefer to support a business that was recommended by a trusted friend, and that marketing executives should try to harness the power of these trusted social networks. OutFoxed seems to be based on the same principle, but applied to web content.

This is the introduction they have on their web site:

” There are over 8 billion web pages. Most of them suck. Outfoxed uses your network of trusted friends and experts to help you find the good stuff and avoid the bad.”

Go have a look on http://getoutfoxed.com – I think this is an interesting tool to play around with (have a look at the Visualization Demo).

    I’ve just been staying at home waiting for something to happen. I just don’t have anything to say right now. My life’s been basically unremarkable , but eh. I can’t be bothered with anything recently.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should

My colleague in the UK, Graeme Codrington, posted “3-d TV is here” a week or so back. It’s a short post about Sky News launching 3D TV.  When Graeme writes he’s normally very definite in his opinion, and he’s not scared to put it out there. If you read his 3D TV post, you’ll notice [...]

Will the next generation live to be 1000 years old?

Anthony Atala asks, “Can we grow organs instead of transplanting them?” His lab at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine is doing just that — engineering tissues and whole organs (bladders and, soon, kidneys) using smart bio-materials and cutting-edge techniques.

Walt Shill, head of the North American management consulting practice for Accenture believes that: “Strategy, as we knew it, is dead…Corporate clients decided that increased flexibility and accelerated decision making are much more important than simply predicting the future.”
In my my latest presentation Brave New [...]

Its governing premise is that [...]
