photo © 2009 Jac Culler | more info (via: Wylio)I recently thought of an online profiling service for sales people and business development people.  To use the service, a client enters the FaceBook Profile URL/Name/Email/Twitter/Blog Account/LinkedIn profile of a sales prospect into the service.  The service then spiders that person’s user-generated online content and draw psychological profiles based on word choice, photo to word density, passive vs active sentence use, number of adverbs per sentence, sentence length, and so on.

With all of the recent political news stories I thought it would be useful to filter out the wheat from the chaff, and what better way to do that than by introducing new tags to refine the semantics of the news?   Surely these are as important as H1, Strong and EM tags for news stories.

While reading this Seth Godin post about the iPad release I was struck by how great an idea this was

I just had two random display ideas for Stronico, and I thought I would share them here:

1. All contact display photos and icons would initially be in black and white, and as more detail got filled out for that person, the color would gradually return.  One possible problem with this idea is a contact having only a black and white photo.

Last night I read Hugh MacLeod of GapingVoid.com on Global MicroBrands.  Today I had the thought that I need to establish a non-denominational reference site for social network theory to support Stronico, as well as to help push the theoretical edges of the web application.  Then I remembered that I was going to do some turning on the new lathe tonight.

I recently had these thoughts and I’m documenting them for version 2 of the Stronico application.

1. Psychological profiling of contacts.  I’m thinking of a simple Type A, Type B snap judgment one can make after first meeting a person.  If I can think of working in the Myers-Briggs personality types that would be wonderful, but I don’t think the information is there to implement it practically.
