Its nice initiative by Google, even if a chunk of people follow(in their daily life) the nice posts this initiative can save lots of families getting ruined due to slowdown….I strongly support initiative of Google.

I like how you put it, a 'democratic' website. Filtering through the mess is inherent in any group messaging system but since everyone filters by a different 'algorithm', it's more or less inevitable. Should be cheap to maintain for Google and if organized/structured efficiently you could obtain a loyal group of members that contribute regularly. I'd be checking out the recommendations for new products/services/etc. with a digital security site like This though.

[...] Google start een nieuw project, Tip Jar, waarmee het zijn bezoekers besparingstips wil geven. Iedereen kan tips plaatsen in een dozijn categoriën. De waarde van elke tip krijgt dan een appreciatiecijfer van de andere bezoekers. Google gaat uit van de ‘wisdom of crowds‘ en wil deze beschikbaar maken voor iedereen door ze goed te ordenen en gemakkelijk toegankelijk te maken. Na één dag waren er al meer dan 3000 bezoekers en werden 2.200 tips aangereikt, die in totaal meer dan 32.500 stemmen kregen. [...]

I think the popularity of this service will lie in the fact that it is user-driven. It isn’t a website where the experts put in their two cents and that’s that. It’s a democratic website. Real people voice real concerns that other people most likely have as well. It’s a mutually beneficial service because the experts get their name out, and people get their questions answered.

Nice concept. Looks like a lot of crap ideas/suggestions to filter through to get a few gems, but it’s not a bad way to spend a little time.

I agree. I do the same. Open stories in a tab and wordering why the main page is after a short time reloading. You could reload when their is a new message. That’s a simple ajax request and that makes sense.
