Part II (second part) 3. Three.
A sender button or sender application or sender applet.
These buttons would be used in order to send the databases created according to “2. TWO”, to several database pools that could be hosted / allocated in the cloud, yes in one of the new realms / concepts created for the virtual world.
The creators / users of databases would click in the “sender button” in order to send the databases they are interested in. These databases would be built / created out of their research works, e-books, scientific papers, comments, reviews, essays, theses, sales or marketing systems, novels, tales, stories, directions, how-to manuals, OpenOffice.org’s Calc Spreadsheets or Excel Spreadsheets!, Torah, Bible, Quran, Ramayana, et cetera.
Also, the utilization of these buttons would upgrade / automate the tasks described in the fourth paragraph of “1. ONE”. 4. Four.
An ever-changing PUBLIC algorithm.
We need an ever-changing algorithm for search engine software, so every time someone looks for something in a by-now-non-existing search engine, the algorithm would change in an aleatorically-intelligent combination way, almost in a similar way as intelligent codes (intellicodes) or other mechanisms / programs change the numbers to the appropriate sequences of digits of Genie, Craftsman, Chamberlain, Liftmaster, Wayne-Dalton, et cetera, garage door openers, in order these ones actually open the garage door each and every time they are activated by house owners or tenants/occupant/dwellers in a house.
This algorithm would be an open source, free, shareable AND PUBLIC one.
The idea is this:
To change “artificially” the order in which an individual who is seeking something in a search engine enters the words in the “search space” or “search rectangle” of his/her screen monitor.
For example, if he/she happens to type the following:
the global communications summit will be held in Frankfurt am Mein when?, the algorithm would change / rearrange the order of those twelve words before sending them to the databases in order to retrieve the information required by that particular individual. So, let us assign numbers to the words of the example: 1 the, 2 global, 3 communications, 4 summit, 5 will, 6 be, 7 held, 8 in, 9 Frankfurt, 10 am, 11 Mein, 12 when?
The modified order could be any, e.g.: 8, 3, 9, 12, 4, 5, 10, 6, 2, 11, 1, 7, or any other.
The machine would read the words in this new order:
in communications Frankfurt when? summit will am be global Mein the held.
Of course, this would work only when entering words not enclosed between quotation marks.
The purpose of this is to start a trend in order to overturn (or compete against) the search systems of Google, Yahoo, et cetera.
Democracy for the Web 2.0… and meritocracy for the common people. 5. Five.
People might need a multi-purpose virtual “phantom” which could be displayed in the upper right corner or lower right corner or lower left corner of computer screens/monitors. This phantom would be similar to a widget, but more advanced, and it would serve to link websites more effectively and to exchange information and images (but by now not videos) among websites. This “panthom” would be one or two steps ahead of trackbacks, Really Simply Syndication (RSS) and Atom, and combine the functions of these.
Also, the “phantom” would be used to almost automatically ping websites.
Also, the “phantom” would be used as a more effectively and faster way to check / see / interact with free open and real databases in a faster, better, easier, way.
Of course, other website owners / operators / webmasters would have to install manually/physically these “phantoms” in their computers, in order to exchange information with us.
Maybe it would be a need to create a Wizard in order to install theses “phantoms”.
These “phantoms” would be open source, free, shareable ones. 6. Six.
A business advertising ticker for the Web 2.0.
Maybe we need an advertising commercial/business ticker for the Web. 2.0.
A news ticker, sometimes referred to as a “crawler”, is a small screen space on news television networks dedicated to presenting headlines or minor pieces of news.
Generally, news tickers are shown / run in the lower section of television screens.
And… they can run at different speeds. They are shown running from the right side to the left side of screens / monitors, or going downwards (inside a rectangular box / space).
As we are “foreseeing” that the television and the internet may merge in the years ahead, we need advertising tickers, which would eventually / hopefully be launched soon.
In the future, personal tickers would be useful to send written messages or to communicate directly with peers / friends without having to use the widely known messenger systems (chat), while people are surfing the web (simultaneously).
Also, these tickers would be interactive, so the sender can collect / grab feedback in his/her “message(s) sent thru the ticker box”.
Commercial tickers would be useful to promote more efficiently products / services / systems, and businesses through the Web 2.0.
The personal tickers could become commercial tickers, if the owner or promoter wants it that way.
People would be able to generate (by typing directly in their keyboards, or via character-generator devices / software) and send their messages/advertisements thru the tickers. They would be sending them to one individual or to several / many persons at a time, via the Web 2.0, so anyone can read their messages displayed / shown in the running tickers…
Personal and commercial Web-2.0 tickers would be similar to news tickers shown in television.
We consider this of PARAMOUNT importance, due to the implied possibilities and potentialities of web surfers interacting... to enrich the Web 2.0.
The software for these interactive COMMERCIAL/business tickers would be an open source, free, shareable software.
NOW, two even more far-fetched ideas: 7. Seven.
Catching / retrieving “on-the-fly”, conversations, phrases, and words sent through Short Messaging Service (SMS) and chat messengers or chat rooms —only when the users authorize to do so, or by creating very open “parallel” chat messenger services—, and a few seconds after, saving those conversations, phrases, and words in their original sequence followed by a database built out of the original sequence, and in a third and / or fourth ways: mixing / relating all of the databases sent during the day / week / month, to a database repository in the cloud.
But, what would be the utility of this (if any)?
I will try to explain this in “9. NINE”. 8. Eight.
Creating certain software that can catch/fish/capture “on-the-fly” phrases, words, and… ideas? shown in videos.
Exempli gratia:
An actress appears by the wagons of a subway running when a film/video is being shot. Whether she is reading or not the wording of the advertisements attached, glued or painted in the wagons, the “special” software I am speaking of does “read” those ads, as well as the signs at hotels, bars and businesses in the street, traffic signs, et cetera, and this software recovers and saves the phrases in their original order as simple text, doc/Word/Write (OpenOffice), xml, html or whatever, as well as in a visible and public database format. 9. Nine.
Well, what would be the utility of some or all of the abovementioned points?
Maybe the extrapolation and the development and elaboration out of some of those points could be useful to:
(A) Use our “own human phosphorus” (the one inside our brains) in order to shed some light and watch the environment, the dangerous websites (some of these are dangerous because of virus, while others are dangerous because of the contents), the pros and cons, et cetera, certainly by speaking and by reading and CREATING new ways, new roads, by generating new ideas, new thoughts, and, as American futurologist and “prophet” Alvin Toffler (1928- ) says, “continually shift, add, subtract, combine and rearrange numbers, symbols, words, images, and memories, combining them with emotions to form new thoughts.”.
(B) Make a bigger, greater and more democratic Web by typing and/or uploading, posting and/or copying & pasting data and information in blogs and databases… just like any wordcaster / web surfer / web diver can type words, express his/her ideas and concepts about just any subject in the websites.
And beyond the Web 2.0, the FTP (file transfer protocol) field, the cloud computing and its expansive force, and something more that the human being will be inventing tomorrow, the next year or the next decade…
Toffler says we should recombine knowledge.
He states in a book written by him and his wife Heidi Toffler, Revolutionary Wealth (Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., New York, 2006), that some of the deep fundamentals of wealth are: work, time, space, and knowledge (happily or strangely, he does not mention money, platinum, gold, silver, diamonds, oil… as being deep fundamentals).

However, I must make clear that innovation does not mean to speak about technology, as this one is only a tool.
Instead, we common people do need to have good ideas and the possibility of setting and structuring methods and procedures that can generate transformations.
Of course, some of the above ideas may seem bad, or good, to you. It is a simple decision of yours.
Praise to the software developers of the software called dBase III Plus, devised by the Ashton-Tate Company, of Torrance, CA (1985-1987). It was used along with a software called Clipper.
For a better, faster, easier and cheaper (or almost free) Web 2.0,
