archivesLaunching ThinkoSphere Alpha, an accelerator of democracy
I am pleased to announce that the alpha version of ThinkoSphere.com is hereby publicly launched! I have finally integrated the new design. I hope you like it.
What is ThinkoSphere?
ThinkoSphere is a brand new experiment that publicly aims at implementing more Control Systems Philosophy into the democracy. That means I want to give each of you more power in:
- Giving your opinion
- Knowing the opinion of others
- Analyzing thoroughly this data
- Reacting accordingly to the results of a poll or vote
The Control Systems philosophy is pretty straightforward: you sense, you think, you act. This process is scale independent: it is the same that drives your personnality. It is also the same process that drives the society. So let us make it more transparent.
What is the current state of ThinkoSphere?
Currently, ThinkoSphere might look like a classical polling website. However, ThinkoSphere has 2 great features that are innovative, fun and very useful:
It means that, among the “sense, think, act” parts, the sense and think parts are currently the most developed ones.
To be precise, you can:
- Create a poll
- Answer it (once a day, to update your opinion)
- Analyse the total results
- Analyse the evolution
- Analyse the evolution of your own answer
- Make a pivot table of two polls. Very useful to look into the details
What comes next?
Plenty of things: widgets, API, internationalization (i18n), localization (l10n)… But for now, it is time to test in the real word what has already been done. So, what do you think about this project?. You are very welcome to leave your comments here. I am specifically appreciating negative feedback so that I can improve. It is all about control isn’t it?. Moreover, if there are features you want to see added, leave a suggestion here or create a poll.

Harry!! Nice work. It is looking good. I will give it a thorough look and see what sort of negative (constructive) feedback I can give you. Good luck and I look forward to all that ThinkoSphere has to offer.
Dear Devi, Vinh, PullMonkey and all of you who sent me private emails, thanks a lot for your very kind messages. It is really encouraging me in this ambitious project.
Hello Harry, You should have a look on a verrry interesting jQuery script which enables to display easily inline charts. Here it is : http://omnipotent.net/jquery.sparkline/ Congrats for the website !
