Kevin - thanks for the link love!

We'll be back at it next week - and don't forget everyone, use the tool for your local and state-level races, too!

The power of print-it-yourself stickers, and a rubber stamp that can make anything to official stationery!

It's pretty interesting.

To me? An evolutionary, not a revolutionary? This was just beyond exciting. The very idea of "revolution" (as I think of it) frustrates me, as I think we've discussed a bit. Seeing people this excited about some big steps forward vs. a supposed take-down of the whole system... was unimaginable and exciting.

I'm not really sure how this would compare to a revolution. I would be willing to bet we'd see more property damage in a revolution.

Yep. I just think we're battered, not broken, and getting better. If slowly.

Also, part of my excitement - and I think many others - is that we did not take the big leap *backwards* that we almost did.

Soul saving, it turns out, is a Ruby on Rails app.

Thanks much for the mention, Denis.

The team's in hard-core development mode and the beta will be out very soon. We are extremely curious to get feedback from the Wikinomics community.

Mike, thanks.

One of my favorite phrases to describe the site is that it's a "marketplace of information", where the community's ratings produce an index of the best content and content sources, be they well-known public figures or simply members of the community. Reputation is a key component for us.

The building block of the community, content, and our future features are these short quotes. If fact-based, we want to know if the community finds the quotes to be accurate. And fact-based or not, we want to know if the community thinks a particular quote matters or not.

Let us know what you think!
