excellent idea. I’ve been building out RealTimeAds.com this year. The team at Windy Citizen has a similar offering.

You may also want to check out Project Wonderful, it’s less about ad streams and more about making traditional banner ads more approachable.

Thanks for the comment. I was thinking that it would be a widget, or even integrated more directly into a specialized RT content site (such as my Qwiki idea from last Friday).

I like your blog, btw – I used the site blocking tip for a while, it’s pretty amazing the difference something simple like that can make.

Hi Kevin,

This idea is very interesting to me. How do you envision this being delivered? As a widget that could be placed on any website?

Presumably the site owner would need to add the capability (install a site widget) that would allow them to sell the ad space. Or are you thinking directly via twitter or some other outlet like that?

Thats an awesome idea. Something I think we lack currently. The results of this could be used by scholastic book publishers to create better materials as people could post how they figured out that pesky topic they are adding info to. In the end advancement is directly proportional to how easily we can pass along our understanding, this would be yet another tool to make that easier.

I like it! You are right, when people realize that farmville is a thing of the past they are going to want some pay back. And there will either be OMG Ponies! waiting for them or they may take to the streets. The last thing I want to see is a bunch of angry virtual farmers loose in the streets of Miami. There is enough hostility on our roads already thank you very much.

I was toying around with another facebook app for painttwits. But with mine you need to replace “World’s Cutest Stuff” with “Worlds Greatest Art”. Also replace ponies and teddies with great art and not such great art by current artists. Mine isn’t a war game though. Just put the two images next to each other in little pop up voting boxes and give people a choice. A”Which image is more appealing to you?” kind of thing.

That way the software could start to filter the “best” art and painttwits could invite those artists to be part of the bata group. Its not science, its Painttwits!

ROFL

Ok so my Ma is hopelessly addicted to farmville. Its hugely ironic that the woman who nagged me about being online 24/7 is now growing make believe beans 24/7.

That being said…… if your goal was to make a game I would play, you would fail. But if your goal is to make $ I find it difficult to think the crowd I see frequent farmville etc wouldn’t use this.
