Need Your Help to Aggregate the Future
I need your help to aggregate the future. Yes, together, I believe we can help create a global database of thoughts about the future. I like thinking big. Imagine putting “futurist” on your resume. Let’s make it happen.
Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful according to it’s Company Information Page. I don’t want to organize the world’s information, but would rather create an online destination that posts futurist predictions, thoughts, analysis, insights, pictures, charts, etc. Any of these predictions should bring any of the following: social, economic or technological impact.
I’d like to have an 8th grader from Pakistan’s technology predictions next to a student at Harvard. I’d like to read predictions from all over the world talking about alternative energy, technology, social well being, etc. The future impacts the world, lets give everyone a voice.
Interested to help out? Click over to FutureMeme.org and join the conversation. This is a soft launch and I’m looking to get content up on the site. Please help spread the word…

something in the same space: http://www.memebox.com/futurescanner
it’s an aggregator of sorts… from the about us page:
“Our first application, the Future Scanner,, essentially scans the web for the best future-focused content (predictions by experts, discoveries that will impact future events, product prototypes, industry forecasts, useful resources, etc.) and organizes it by future Year and Category.”
they also put out http://memebox.com/futureblogger
haven’t really gone through these sites - perhaps there’s something good there, but tough to get over the horrid design
