Competition vs. Collaboration: Limitations of Evoke?
The concept behind the Evoke game is fascinating. It's proven to be an effective way to share information and ideas about critical problems facing the world.
Tapping into the gamer mentality for social change is a compelling experiment. But then I read comments like "Delta Team is the Heart of Evoke." (what??) and "It's just a game."
I think the "drama" on this site is heightened by the preoccupation with earning points. Sure, points are an effective (extrinsic) motivator. But… Continue

Giant Kites as Free-Flying Wind Turbines - LEARN3
Saul Griffith dreams of giant kite turbines creating huge amounts of
clean, renewable energy.
Wind is the second largest renewable resource after solar. But the majority of wind power is in high altitudes, well above 300 feet - beyond the reach of today's wind turbines. We don't have a technology (yet) capable of tapping into this rich source of wind energy.
This idea was described by Miles L. Loyd in his paper "Crosswind Kite Power". He… Continue

TOP PICKS - MEMORABLE BLOGS - IDEAS ON THE BRAIN
Here is my (growing) list of favorite Evoke blogs. It's difficult to chose because there are so many wonderful contributions on this site.
The list simply reflects my personal interests and is far from complete. I should have started it earlier, and must now rely on my limited memory.
Some ideas that I don't want to forget:

Tag Cloud (Interests) on My Profile page - Evoke 2
A tag cloud on the My Profile page - where your most popular tags appear in a large font - would be a good feature for Evoke 2.
A visual tag cloud is a great reflective tool that reveals your interests, what's on your brain. It can also encourage you to broaden your interests if you find yourself stuck on one or two themes.

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
