Some things need time, a lot of time!
After all those years in basic research I finally have to accept that I live in a kind of bubble. It is the “10-years-ahead” bubble. From time to time I tend to loose contact to earth when thinking about “must-have apps” for mainstream customers. You develop a cool technology, you have a great community idea already in place but … it takes time to get the things out there and the needs and required technology and social patterns have to be in place.
Sometimes minor improvements may lead to greater user acceptance of such a “blue-sky” community. I hope that the spherical tag cloud which we have now in our open-source project OPENEER will help to increase the numer of users contributing details and links about their best moments in life with music.
Sneak in here to see the live cloud!
