The solution I want to implement for the centralized media problem is this:<div><br></div><div>Having each person being a transmitter of information. Till now, the transmission only happens to our friends(facebook) or followers(twitter).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Each person would put a weight on the trustwortiness and abilities of a friend. Each person would then receive a piece of information and a rating of its usefullness. That person would compute the weighted average (many sources) and then transmit automatically that information to those that trust him.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This way, people could filter and rank information. One could also filter videos(from youtube or any other source). Then one could very easily watch the filtered stream of videos he trusts.</div><div><br>
</div><div>One more thing that you could do is search those trusted pieces of information.</div><div><br></div><div>Computing the weighted average is a linear equation and that way we can reduce database seeks, so that it can be technically possible.</div>
<div>Watching a stream of videos (without stopping) will require some javascript knowledge.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote">2013/1/15 Nicolás Reynolds <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fauno@kiwwwi.com.ar" target="_blank">fauno@kiwwwi.com.ar</a>></span><br>

</div>"freedom is an endless meeting" from francesca polletta is a good analysis of<br>
direct/consensus-based/participatory democracies that tries not to fall on the<br>
"participatory democracies just don't work/scale/etc." thesis.<br>
<br>
at pirate party argentina we defined consensus as lack of dissent, meaning you<br>
don't have to be involved in everything for the whole to progress, and assuming<br>
you can't take part on every aspect of the party (or will simply be<br>
indifferent).<br>
