The Idea in a Nutshell
It is a simple idea, I promise. You propose changes to any website, the intermediary website will allow commentary and a preview of what the proposed changes would look like. That content can then be used by the target of the proposed changes.
An Example
For example, let’s say you visit a blog and you read an article and really like it but have ideas how it can be improved. If you provide proofing services this could be career oriented outreach. You use the browser add on for the proposing website and it brings you to an editable version of the page. You make the changes you would like to “propose” then tweet it out to Twitterverse, Share via Facebook, clip via Amplify, etc. The blog owner may notice a trackback, a google alert or some analytics data. They can organically discover the modified version of the article. They can even grab the proposed changes and insert them in the blog, preferably including some citation to the individual that modified the content. This could be enforced via some type of embed option. There could be a social network built out of the proposing website, voting on the best changes, recognition, prizes and awards.
Provide input
Now that I’ve shared the root idea, would you like to propose features to improve this idea? Or maybe you want to ship me chests full of money, armies of interns and great advisers to try it out, either way I’d love to hear your thoughts.
I think part of this idea (the commenting) is already in use by services like Google’s Sidewiki, but the functionality of being able to create actual drafts of edits would be a super cool feature. Good idea!
Thanks Dave, I do like the concept of Sidewiki for commenting about a specific site or page but loading up the page or part of it in an editor and making the changes would be incredible I think. It could even be used to crowd source improving content for a given website, the possibilities are extensive. If someone wants to do it are you in? 🙂
I really appreciate your share. I am finding it these days. How useful information! You make our life better and more beautiful. Thank you. See you again.
