I get inspired – to study harder, read more books, interact with people more different from myself, with another thinking pattern and culture background – every time I come across someone who blows my mind.
People dream. People have ideas. People wish for things to happen. And then there are those who just go for it. They never let these “barriers” (that seems to exist around others) hold them back, but instead they sit down/stand up and create/do/make something.
Ted Valetin is one of these people. I came across him out of pure coincident after searching for blogs with smart, interesting, inspiring content – and there he was. With more then 20 websites on the Internet (18 of these within his map project), and several added soon, this man is becoming an Internet phenomenon underdog.
Maybe underdog is an understatement, but I believe that too many people are underestimating this man’s full potential.
I decided to write about this man two days after he released his site Blogopedia.com. The idea is so simple, yet so f-ing brilliant that there is no need for me explain it. But for those who wants to know, the idea is simple:
Blogipedia collects facts and opinions from blogs.
If a blogger writes that something IS something, for instant “Cheese is good”, then that text will be shown on Blogopedia within a couple of days.
After that can our members tag the text as fact, positive, negative, or neutral.
To see if it works, I have decided to test with a couple of strings.
