Find Others With Similar Likes and Dislikes
Why?
Each one of us has their unique set of things they like to do or care about. Finding others with similar interests would be nice.
How?
A website and app that asks you about your likings and interests by providing a very long list of possibilities and letting you quickly and easily choose what you like and care about. You can also mark what you dislike. The system will then create a group with members that seem to be very similar. It’s up to the members to decide how to call the group and what to do next.

Random Crowd Sourced Interesting Reads
Why?
To both find stuff you normally wouldn’t and to help search for and receive the best of these interesting reads.
How?
Every reader plays two parts in this system. First, they get random suggestions for interesting reads. Then for every random unrated article they read and rate the also get a one for one credit, and can read an article that was randomly chosen but already highly rated by other readers. Of course, they can rate such an article too – but the more people already read and rated that article, the smaller the credit they get for that. You only get full credit for unrated articles. This way you both help filter the best reads for others and get the best reads from others.

Correct Misconceptions and Misleading Information at the Source
Why?
Many times you read an article or a blog post that states as a fact something you know to be wrong.
How?
A browser extension and a server side service that enables you to leave a comment on any site. This comment should be reasoned and if possible backed up by reliable data with link and attribution. These corrections will be approved by editors before they are visible. The approved comments will be visible to others using the same browser extension, or to all if the website itself chooses to incorporate the system (1 line of code in their HTML source.)

I Will Let You Target Me Individually if I Can Controll What You Know About Me
Why?
Now you are trying to get as much information as you can about me, and I am trying to block and obscure that information.
How?
Have a single repository where we “meet.” You show me all the information you have on me, and why it is for my benefit to letting you use it, and I’ll allow you unblocked access to me and the information I permit you to use, so you can accurately target me individually.
