#22I've been working on it nights and weekends. Great respite from some of the less than pleasant activities of coding at my day job.

#23At the moment we are considering Celeste as the basis for this platform. http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/celeste/
I've got the partner (alexkravets), now we're looking for funding to mitigate the risk of having no day job.
We don't have a write-up online at the moment, but we firmly believe in the "ideas are cheap; execution is everything" philosophy, so we'll answer any questions.

#24http://theperceptron.com - astute music recommendations And a site where you create your audio autobiography by uploading mp3s. Hello, RIAA.
Not bad, got some good recommendations. The UI needs a lot of work but I'm sure you're working on that ;) What do you use to fetch your library of artists/etc? Or is it selt built?
I find links between artists and recommend based upon that. These links include: being recommended by a human, being on the same record label, being mutual admirers, playing gigs together, being posted to the same mp3 blog, being on the same mixtapes and so on.
I wrote a post on my blog that gives a comprehensive account of how the recommendation system works: http://www.maryrosecook.com/post/show/130
And, yes, I know the UI is horrible.

#28Earlier quoted context omitted.
I think I like that idea. Now just add in a kick-ass reputation fixer module and you're set :)
LOL, the spec doesn't cover that I'm afraid, though it would be a killer feature. I can think of various politicians that might want it...

#29To cut down on my total workload (and so my mother wouldn't complain when I worked on these projects), I'm using both for two different projects for the IB diploma program. As a result, I have to do the Mao-playing system in Java though.

I watched a few of your videos, quite enjoyed them despite my small knowledge of markets. Keep at it!
