Irrelevant Cheetah

Social engineering has always intrigued me, and not just the mind-control aspects of it. Rather, I am interested in what people do collectively. Wikipedia, for instance. I mean, come on: a user-edited encyclopedia? Brilliant! And yet idiotic at the same time!

I stumbled across Stixy the other day, and I really liked the concept. You can create a virtual bulletin board on the internet and share it with your friends, family, or whoever else you like. So I thought I’d try something. I started a board for anyone who visits this blog. It’s here. The password to get in is, appropriately enough, “cheetah.”

If you read this post, I think it’d be cool if you’d visit the board and add something of your own. I don’t care what it is, just something of yours. It’ll only take a second, and you don’t even have to sign up or log in to contribute. The site’s pretty self-explanatory, but basically there are ‘widgets’ on the bottom of the page. Just click and drag the one you want to use onto the main part of the page, and then add to it as you see fit. You can add a sticky note, a document, a ‘to-do’ item, or a photo. You can also edit anything else that’s already been posted.

So please feel free to add something. I got everything started, of course, but I’d like to see if this goes anywhere, or if it ends up being more like a thirteen-car pileup on I-10. Either way, it’ll be interesting, I think.

Update: I just noticed that you can’t edit ‘to-do’ widget dates unless you’re signed in. Luckily, accounts are free.

Update to the update: As you’ll see from his sticky, Jonas from Stixy contacted me to tell me he’s fixed the bug. Now your ‘to-do’ doesn’t have to end at midnight.
