Google 10 to the 100th Project

What are you all thinking about it?

I came up with an idea for "Switchig off Adverts" as part of my entry.

I say part of as it involved a mod/addon distributable in various open source and paid for guises . . . .

what he say ???

Seeing as google are all about sharing and in the giving mood, and helping old people across the road (you gotta watch their stupid video) with their heavy grocery shopping, google can give me a nice PR10 that would help me alot.

Another gimmick.

What I meant (or was trying to say) nexialys was that a part of my entry to the Google 10 to the 100th project comp involves a mod/addon that can be distributed both as an open source version and paid versions and it involves "switching off adverts" on a website - primarily in this instance my own VB forum TVWorlds.com - the same thing able to be replicated with other softwares and websites if you get my drift?

Think VBSEO and Zoints

@ Shelley_C

Another gimmick - Whaever do you mean - are you not Google's biggest fan because you do not have that PR10 then?

Tomorrow (Oct 20th 2008) is the day of the announcement of the top 100 up for the public vote.

Anyone here on VB.org have any entries in?

You need to explain more about this switching off adverts. Is it a client side program to switch off adverts? If so, a hosts file and Adblock make it redundant. Or is it a server side thing like the Zoints network for standardising paying for ad removal across multiple websites? If so, that's innovative, but I'm not sure if it would catch on.

Hey cheat-master30

If you have the time may be you could take a read of what I have in mind?

http://tvworlds.com/forum/showthread.php?t=356

The idea involving a VB addon/mod (among others) involves having a "Switch off Adverts" mod/addon that would switch off adverts on a forum owners website for an annual subscription with a donate to Charity (or a charity of members choice) facility with either 100% going to charity of increments there of much like the system ebay have in place these days.

The VBSEO and Zoints ref was in regards to distribution methods EG "paid" and "Open Source" - hope that makes sense - I am by no means a coder nor a designer as words and SEO are my thing so I may not be making complete sense to others ways of thinking.

Let us imagine for two mins or so that my entry made it into the top 100 up for the public vote

This would mean Google would be involved with TVWorlds forum so the membership would (in my little fantasy world LOL) shoot up to 100,000 or 1000,000 plus members - Imagine if all adverts displayed on said forum (Or your own site) could be switched off for an annual subscription at lets say ?12 p a and that either 100% or a percentage that the site owner chooses goes to legitimate charities that benefit people now and as many of the Charities do research many generations to come.

Would that be a pretty good addon/mod?

Make sense?

knowing those guys, they will pick something that 'help many ppl' I don't think will be something related to Computers...

IOGames

If you have time take a read of the link I posted as you will see my VB addon/mod idea for Charities is just a small part of many things - which include (Now you may laugh but I will explain) using desalination units and would you believe Elephants to reforest the desert regions around East Africa primarily.

Now I guess I had better explain my Elephants reference before I get lots of ROMC smilies in response.

Ok so - Did you know that the species we commonly call the Elephant carry the seeds of the acaica tree in their stomach and that the acacia tree is the plant needed by all other plants for them to take a hold as the basis to reforestation in the desert regions of those areas I mentioned?

If not please peeps before you rip into me with micky taking responses check out the facts and you will see what I say is the truth!

I'm not laughing at your idea... what I said was: Knowing the mentality of the guys from Google, I calculate as far as I can calculate that it won't be nothing related to computers, but something more social...

[MrFlicks]

Thanks

That is cool and I agree with you IOGames

I think/hope my idea(s) encompass exactly what you see and think Google and the Googlers will be looking for whilst at the same time including some computer things.

Also I wasn't really referring to you personally ref "laughing at me and adding the smilies I mentioned" LOL I am just so used to people not thinking through there responses and taking the mick out of me I have had to develope the skin of a Rhino RE ridicule and just like to mention a little research might just show I am not quite as daft or as "lost the plot" as some might think.

Nice to see you see the same thing RE Google IOGames - I to think they will look for something that serves the much greater good.

As I mentioned in my own thread I do not mind at all if I do not get my idea selected as if there are better ideas that do more good for more people I am quite happy to have just been a part of helping those at Google to accomplish those things.

I personally have no problems with/RE Google how about you?
