Want to help everyone help each other solve problems with innovation? Please help. There are several sections below...

We would like to help anyone wanting to help others. For instance  can we help you using the http://www.TRAIDmark.org business model (where you get rich with performance pay and you gain from added goodwill created by donating funds to charity?) This is essentially a cooperative or Not for Profit but where any surplus funds are invested in NEW Innovative Not for Profit activity that solves different social problems innovatively.

It solves several issues.
A. It invests any wealth generated into more Innovation creating Institutional Innovation
B. It stops organisations getting large (large organisations become inefficient)
C. It stops anyone running any organisation from getting corrupted by power/wealth as all organisations are small and efficient.
D. It rewards success (through the application of Innovation) in a clever way that encourages selfless hard work by enabling the successful people who use the business model to go on an invent then develop new innovations so they create the freedom co continually make new ways to help others. It also rewards hard work with performance pay so anyone motivated by greed can still get rich (without owning the organisation).



1.
Would it be possible to help enhance what you are working on using the power of social media to encourage more people to help with your existing and future projects using crowdsourcing?

2.
We are creating a charity crowdfunding collaboration drupal site using
pioneering open source modules and were hoping we could develop this
with you to enhance your great work?

We are also aiming to use the site to collect donated funds for
charity by using a re skinned version of different software for
charitable use as a not for profit?

http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7538 has more details and contact @whymandesign

3.
Would it be possible to work with you to make a re skinned
version of existing software so we can help the public to solve
other social issues (Ideally using the http://www.TRAIDmark.org business
structure)? Maybe working with someone like
http://www.ONEworldHEALTH.org or http://www.earth.org which
is closing so maybe this is something I could help you take on so
everyone can share local knowledge? Also can http://www.WEBiversity.org
share video's and create http://www.TRUSTlibrary.org with your
team? http://www.WhymanDesign.com

The aim is to create custom branded open source software (so the same
software that exists is used to solve different social issues). Can we
do this starting with enhancing the http://www.WEBiversity.org and
http://www.TRUSTlibrary.org prototype sites?

4.
We created TRUSTlibrary.org which has access to 50 shops that are spread
across the uk and we were hoping to work with you to use the spaces. We
are aiming to install the libraries in any university and were hoping we
could do this with you by working with the your contacts. All that is
needed is for the network and universities to be informed of the
Trustlibrary.org volunteer org so we can talk to them about how easy it
is for them to create TrustLibrary spaces.

5.
We are looking to work with Corporate Social Responsibility and Business Training teams to create real world charitable projects while helping teams to learn and develop.

6.
We are looking to use empty spaces shops or offices while saving you money on those empty spaces at the same time. If you have or know of someone who has an empty space please contact @whymandesign. These could range from a corner of a reception area to a field and can be empty for one evening a week to all year round!

7.
Also do check out... http://ow.ly/1Q0Uw & http://bit.ly/11XLOC The free
book download is really good. What is your favourite book? Is there a
free version online or a film review?

http://www.MUSTart.org are teaming up with a National Development organisation to create Trust Libraries across the UK. We are now looking to partner with other great organisations so we can enhance their great work too.

1. Would you like a FREE Trust library installed in your community? We are looking for new locations to install FREE Trust Libraries so contact us on here by commenting below if you are interested or tweeting @whymandesig. These can range from a bookshelf full of popular fiction books to a fully interactive space with facilitators that engage and empower passers by to take free books, draw on them and then give them away.

2. Do you know of an unused/empty space in a public building or office foyet that we could install the trust library in? The space can range from an empty shop to a car park bay or a table in a Library Foyet. If so plot the location on the map and message us directly.

3. Do you have unused materials such as books/pens/paper... that we could use to create community art work that improves communities while increasing community cohesion?

http://www.communityrepaint.org.uk/Need_Paint.php
www.furniture.scheme.ukgateway.net

http://www.richmond.gov.uk/furniture_scheme

4. Do you know of an industrial producer that has broken or unwanted products that would be recycled or binned that we could use?

5. We have had a few requests to put on this activity and customized versions at private events and festivals. If this is of interest contact us directly on twitter @whymandesign.

Mustart.org came about after talking about how anyone and everyone can solve any / every problem by going about solving it in the right way.

One great way to solve problems is to ask the person asking the question
(problem finder) if they know of the answer or if they can look into
solving it so they become the problem solver too:)

e.g.
1.
How can enterprise and innovation be improved and created
institutionally? http://www.Traidmark.org is one way to create
institutional innovation.

2.
How can anyone set up their own self sustaining innovation space?
http://www.BARcampBAR.org and http://www.FREEtraid.org both have
examples of how this can be done.

How else can everyone be A. Empowered to create innovative solutions so
social problems and B. Self sustain themselves by earning enough to live
and learn?

Rewarding innovation/ideas and Could @Directgov_i @4ip @nesta all work together to enhance your great work?

 0 Comments- Add comment Written on 12-Nov-2009 by WhymanDesign

Hi

FREEtraid economy and giving ideas to gov...

1.
I love the innovate websites that govenment have created asking for the publics ideas and would love to help make them even better. Well done everyone who made it happen. Can you list all the people who made it happen and who they are so we can send them compliments and free gifts to encourage them to do more (also list what they would like to do next so the community can try to help them to do this!

2.
Also can I pitch a way to reward ALL idea submitters regardless of
their ideas (I know how you can do this for free and benefit and will do
this for you)


For example...

3.
We are creating a self sustaining organisation that will provide a
location for young people to access the internet and collaborate
together all over the world in hard to reach areas and are looking to
produce this with an existing organisation that will benefit too. Could
we run this self sustaining project as part of your organisation as it
would be an extra service that increases peoples awareness of your great
work while facilitating collaboration on projects. Development website
at http://openspacecafe.ning.com/. Who should I talk to about creating
Open Space Cafe's with your organisation?

4.
Could @Directgov_i @4ip @nesta all work together to enhance your great work?

5.
Can you please make an online question and answer diagnosis tool for EVERY common medical problem just like the Swine Flu Q&A online tool. @whymandesign would like to help make this happen for you.

6.
Can http://www.oneworldhealth.org and eldy and akvo and Bewelcome.org help creatively enhance your great work? http://www.whymandesign.com would like to help make this happen for you.

How could it best be facilitated so everyone can contribute without comments being lots in the depths of the web? It seams that there is SO much potential for government and the public to achieve using new media. The key appears to be how to communicate this potential and empower everyone to take that step down the rabbit hole of independent innovation and collaboration at everyones own grass roots (though this has been done outside of new tech since just after the beginning of time:). Is there a way to reward individuals to take risks by trying new things and fail/succeed?

The dot com approach of rewarding successful innovation by buying it out appears to work for successful innovation. How best to reward innovators that try things that fail is unclear. It may be best to enable lots of innovators to innovate without rewarding success so that peer review enables success to be rewarded socially while larger volumes or innovation can be facilitated by funding lots of people with smaller amounts.

No No No Yes

No No No Yes. Saying Yes / No Happiness and 8 hours!
1.
What is the unmeasurable negative effect of people saying no or being negative on you me and society? Is it worse to ignore someone than say no to them? Probably...

Here is a list of obvious ways to handle any situation from bad to good...

BAD - Insult, Ignore, Say No, Suggest something, Encourage, Congratulate, Say Yes, Recommend - GOOD

So it takes less effort to say to someone that they are doing well and makes you feel good too.
It appears to be all linked to the EGO that makes some people confused and think that they are better than others so don't want to care or help them which leads to the BAD reactions to any/every enquiry. As these people are negative to other people they get negative responses too leading to a cycle of negativity which makes the egotistical person feel worse and worse. The person who has control of their EGO and acts selflessly helping others gets rewarded many times over as others are nice back to them creating a cycle of GOOD where everyone wins. Often stress creates the negative cycle but this can be combated by looking at others who have 'less' making you feel humble and by laughing at ourselves as in the grand scheme of things nothing we do (nor our lives) appear to matter.

2.
This leads on to how you live your life. To enjoy it or to reach some goal that your parents/society has imposed on you? The TED talk below makes me step back and think about what is important and how money and status are worth less than self belief and pride...
Do not look for happiness but create it with what you have got.


http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_gilbert_asks_why_are_we_happy.html

When people have no choice they change their preferences to make them more happy about what they have. When they have choice they are always comparing what they have to others so are less happy as they compare with the average.

On average nothing is average!

3.
Which leads to what you do with 8 hours of your life! well 3 sets of 8 hours.


8 hours working...

If one person can do a job better than someone else should they take ove the job?

How does that apply to what you do? Would you step aside if someone could do your job better than you?

If you step aside then you would be able to do a different job that you are even better at.

So everyone should keep looking out for someone who could do their job better than them. When they find that person they should give them their job so that they can go on to work in areas that they excel in.


8 hour sleeping...

Is there a way to do good while you sleep? Create a website that offers advice/ helps others that will be online while you sleep.


8 hours relaxing...

Is there a way to do good while you relax? Finding your passion in life and using that to build something that can be used to help others in your local/global community be it art/writing/acting/dancing/singing/playing...

4.
FREEtraid.com aims to help anyone maximise the positive effect of using any time in their day by sharing free advice on using any skill to give away free products/services in exchange for donations so that you can then fund even more great work. Its a gift economy that funds innovative work.

Big Long Tail of Innovation!

Creative Commons Caution

Everything can be used to do good, bad and lots more good if used by the right people in the right way (so the tool maximises its potential).

Here are some points on making sure that creative ideas/products are use to do the most good and to help protect them from being stolen to be used for selfish or negative reasons (almost always unknowingly by the person who is stealing the idea and/or using it in a negative way)

(this may sound obvious but it is so important I wanted to remind myself so maybe you want to do so too)

If you read this content join http://www.UGCunion.org and suggest ways you want to work on collaborative ideas/projects that do good.

1.
Once an idea/product is created check that you cant think of any negative ways to use that idea or ways that others could use it to fulfil selfish motives at the expense of others.

2.
Be careful who you tell about your ideas/product. It is best to let those doing positive selfless work gain access to good ideas/products before those doing selfish work. This will enable a double positive effect to take place as you help them gain an additional advantage which boosts their work.

3.
Make sure the idea/product does good even if it is stolen so that the person who steals it will be unintentionally using it for good.

4.
Always remain open to others helping to enhance your product/idea and give positive feedback to others work too.

5.
Make sure your product/idea does not use others goodwill. Using volunteers is one good example of this. Volunteers should always get at least one positive thing out of their experience as well as the positive feeling of giving something back. This is imperative so that those volunteers are rewarded and gain something extra so that they can do an even greater job next time.

6.
Reward others good work in any way you can from positive feedback to giving them things that you don't need.

Introduction to the web... as simple as 1 2 Infinity

 0 Comments- Add comment Written on 27-May-2009 by WhymanDesign
Consumer habits continue to change with web usage creating new opportunities for even better customer service and ethical trading. One key problem is how web usability is still not accessible for novices and often is infuriatingly restrictive for all users due to a lack of careful usability design. If only those websites were aware of the loss of trade caused by this lack of usability they would instantly improve their service. Over time this will happen and we are interested in assisting and measuring how this process of change occurs.

This nice games is one example of how things many people take for granted need to be taught in a clear educational manner to certain types of learners.

http://www.getonlineday.com/challengegame/index.html 

Which leads on to the government service called http://www.myguide.gov.uk which illustrates many more.

 

 

Once on the web the first big choice users face is, 'Which service do I use' when there are so many similar offers?

Most users learn from their peers choosing the fastest services that are easiest to use. Then they choose to use ethical products/services provided by Not For Profit and Social Enterprise organisations which are nicely listed on websites such as http://www.idealist.org and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-profit_organization.

 

Where will the usability developments go with the new platform of the mobile web?

Problems for Progress

 0 Comments- Add comment Written on 13-May-2009 by WhymanDesign
Here are a few problems that will need to be solved to help progress.

1.
Duplication and confusion slow down learning/development/innovation/progress and can make progress reverse as individuals go off in the 'wrong' direction. For example if there are two sites doing the same thing then that splits the user/customer/supplier communities into two making the collaboration and partnership potential halved while enabling people to duplicate the same work.

How can this be solved?...

One way is to concentrate or rank organisations that are doing the 'most' good above others. So not for profit organisations that are efficient should be ranked higher than commercial organisations. So a not for profit search engine is a good start. https://www.anoox.com is one example.

2.
And finding content that you can reuse and remix is equally important. http://search.creativecommons.org and http://www.jamendo.com are two examples.

If you know of a better way to solve this please add it to http://www.UGCunion.org

3.
The same goes for any form of assessment from exams to job applications.
Assessment is also a key area that needs to be looked at. How can assessment and feedback be collected in a scientific manner that does not neglect the unknown and unquantifiable?

4.
Centralised networks and organisations will fall down if the central core is disrupted. It is therefore imperative that networks and organisations are restructures to be decentralise and community based so that they can not entirely collapse. This also fosters collaboration and evolution which dramatically enhance innovation and progress for the benefit of everyone. http://yacy.net/ is one example of decentralised web search.

FREE LOVE GIVEAWAY (and happiness too just help others and give your love away:)

Edit Post Edit
 0 Comments - Add comment Written on 17-Feb-2009 by WhymanDesign
Make yourself happy and content by giving. Please share your experience of making yourself happy by giving (takes 5 mins and will help someone else)...

 Is pain and suffering almost always caused by selfish minds? It appears so.

That appears to be one main cause of suffering as many people think they are going without so take from others.Take a look at any selfish or 'evil'/'bad' person. They are always selfish and dont realise that they could give others happiness if they took time to step back and look at their life. Instead they think there is no time to look at their life (takes 5 minutes) so miss the chance to make their life happy and content.

I keep forgetting to appreciate what i have and keep getting wound up by life's little problems based around things like my Career.
All of these anxieties come from comparing myself to others so it is inevitable that i am unhappy at least 50% of the time as i (and everyone else) expects to be getting at least above average out of life if not to at least 90%! (meaning i am unhappy 90% of the time!!!).

Several different people suggested going for a walk whenever I feel bad (which works amazingly) and also to look on life not as a task but as a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to see how many other people we can help and make happy. After all if you make someone else happy it makes you feel good so that can only be good. One other way is to look back at the simple things in life that I HAVE rather than look forward at the things i think i want. When i forget to appreciate these things i look up a video of someone who does not have one of these or try to find someone in the street who is missing one of these and try to help them a little. Below is a list of these things (if you cant do one move on to the next please)...

I can Breathe (breath in and out 10 times slowly concentrating on the air flowing into and out of your lounges) [hold your breath for a bit]
I can Touch (move one part of your body very slowly and concentrate on the sense) [sit still then move a tiny part of your body]
I can See (look at one small object or your hand and enjoy being able to see this) [close then open your eyes]
I can Hear (close your eyes and listen to the quietest sounds and enjoy them) [put your fingers in your ears;p]
I can Smell (breath in slowly through your nose and see what you can smell) [breath in through your mouth then nose]
I can Taste (What does your mouth taste like, the air or your skin?) [Eat something tasty]
I can Give (find someone who needs something and give it to them...Hug, Kiss...) [Dont forget to give yourself something too by hugging others]

 Do you know any other ways to remind yourself to control your EGO so you stop thinking about yourself and concentrate on helping others who are  less (and more) fortunate than you are? Please share this information and any other ways to enjoy life (no matter how obvious) to http://www.FREEHUG.org

We are also looking for people to collaborate on this project. Are you interested?

 

Books that give lots of great advice on this are listed below as are lots of GREAT TED talks which explain about the benefits of selflessness (it makes YOU happy:) plus lots of free books can be downloaded from Project Gutenberg htt://www.gutenberg.org/

Problems to Progress

Here are a few problems that will need to be solved to help progress.

1.
Duplication and confusion slow down learning/development/innovation/progress and can make progress reverse as individuals go off in the 'wrong' direction. For example if there are two sites doing the same thing then that splits the user/customer/supplier communities into two making the collaboration and partnership potential halved while enabling people to duplicate the same work.

How can this be solved?...

One way is to concentrate or rank organisations that are doing the 'most' good above others. So not for profit organisations that are efficient should be ranked higher than commercial organisations. So a not for profit search engine is a good start. https://www.anoox.com is one example.

2.
And finding content that you can reuse and remix is equally important. http://search.creativecommons.org and http://www.jamendo.com are two examples.

If you know of a better way to solve this please add it to http://www.UGCunion.org

3.
The same goes for any form of assessment from exams to job applications.
Assessment is also a key area that needs to be looked at. How can assessment and feedback be collected in a scientific manner that does not neglect the unknown and unquantifiable?

4.
Centralised networks and organisations will fall down if the central core is disrupted. It is therefore imperative that networks and organisations are restructures to be decentralise and community based so that they can not entirely collapse. This also fosters collaboration and evolution which dramatically enhance innovation and progress for the benefit of everyone. http://yacy.net/ is one example of decentralised web search.

Is anything free? Surely everything costs the creator something. How to fund more?

Introduction to the web... as simple as 1 2 Infinity

Consumer habits continue to change with web usage creating new opportunities for even better customer service and ethical trading. One key problem is how web usability is still not accessible for novices and often is infuriatingly restrictive for all users due to a lack of careful usability design. If only those websites were aware of the loss of trade caused by this lack of usability they would instantly improve their service. Over time this will happen and we are interested in assisting and measuring how this process of change occurs.

This nice games is one example of how things many people take for granted need to be taught in a clear educational manner to certain types of learners.

http://www.getonlineday.com/challengegame/index.html 

Which leads on to the government service called http://www.myguide.gov.uk which illustrates many more.

 

 

Once on the web the first big choice users face is, 'Which service do I use' when there are so many similar offers?

Most users learn from their peers choosing the fastest services that are easiest to use. Then they choose to use ethical products/services provided by Not For Profit and Social Enterprise organisations which are nicely listed on websites such as http://www.idealist.org and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-profit_organization.

 

Where will the usability developments go with the new platform of the mobile web?

How best to #empower #everyone to #help #gov help us all help each other?! #creativity?

There is a discussion on the best organisational structure to enable this to happen most effectively (e.g. http://www.TRAIDmark.org)...
http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=21&post=321&uid=113620708652863#post321

Most people are aware that...
1. Big Society has been going on all the time with volunteers, coop's... but how gov empowers and open mindedly manages this will be the difference between mediocrity or outcomes that exceed expectations.
2. The internet has enabled everyone to be linked to everyone for the first time ever so is a once in a life/time opportunity to empower everyone to help everyone. Below are some suggestions on how to empower everyone in efficient ways that may help. It would be great to work with you on constructive ways to do this such as creating a Drupal working version of the http://www.WEBiversity.org prototype.

Creativity exceeding expectations
The creative mind can imagine almost infinite possibilities. The key then is how to support and encourage everyone so they can be more creative and get selflessly rewarded for being creative FOR THE GREATER GOOD by sharing everyones ideas in an open source way while also enabling those that create to support themselves and use profits to create more innovation for the common good.

There are two stages that are equally important...

Stage 1. What you do... Making sure we are working in the right DIRECTION, to help the MOST gain the most happiness.
Help everyone (not just a select few otherwise you are limiting your options) to concentrate on the most important issues (rather than solving issues that either do not need to be solved or have already been solved).

http://www.WEBiversity.org is a prototype way of doing this. Do help us create an open source Drupal version so Everyone can solve Every problem together.

http://www.TRUSTlibrary.org is a self sustaining way to create real world locations where everyone can meet to solve any problem together using their imagination. Please help by making your own Trust Library free and sharing its location on the site.


Stage 2. How you do it...Making sure we are going at the right SPEED, to hellp everyone be happy WHILE we we achieve this.

Make the way creative are supported in a self sustaining way that continues to create more innovation so that people/organisations do NOT become victims of their own success by combating the Peter principle.

http://www.TRAIDmark.org is a way of doing this that rewards creativity by enabling creatives to go on to make more and more NEW innovative charitable projects as a reward for success (which is a good motivator for selfless people:).

The big question is how much creative ideas are out there to be thought of and then worked on
AND
How is the best way to use the ideas to help the most people get the greatest benefit from it.

Open Source has proven that sharing ideas/software by giving it away can help everyone on this planet so the key is to work on a way to empower and encourage everyone to creatively innovate while giving away what they produce to the world so we all gain the most from everyone else's work.

Collaboration enables everyone to share what they are doing which means we can duplicate/share infinately everyones work on the web while also stopping wasteful duplication/repetition from people who compete (which means R&D spend wont be wasted on doing the same work over and over again).

Please add comments to the relevant sites as there points/projects are far more important than any individual/group and need to be taken up by forward thinking positive people like you? To not contribute would be to let others miss out on your view which is a loss for everyone.

http://www.TRAIDmark.org/ explains the full benefits of using net profit to invest in new innovative charitable work. Please comment on that facebook page linking to it from here so anyone following that group will not miss out.
