VJW may not be aware that the HB has a function very similar to what is proposed here. Click this link to see a featured halfbaker and scheme of the five minutes! [bungston, Dec 20 2010]

Ok.. I'd like to hereby nominate myself. |
|
| |
//This will help in encouragement for new ideas.// |
|

This idea was hit with success at walmart. |
|
| |
Walmart has an "inventor of the week"? |
|
| |
no, they have a "weak inventory". |
|
| |
//no, they have a "weak inventory"// Oh, I understand, now.
This idea, together with the first anno, is cleverer than I
thought. |
|
| |
I was referring to employee of the month concept in
wallmart. |
|
| |
All these aspects can be manipulated. May be we can
let [Jutta] or a designated team decide. |
|
| |
Along with displaying the name, may be we can
display a photo (real or cartoonized) if person agrees. |
|
| |
I thought you meant something like the KMart "Blue Light
Special," aimed at promoting a product that was over-
supplied and wasn't selling well. In that case, the award
would be based on a formula something like this: |
|
| |
F(ideas posted per week) - G(median total votes (positive
and negative) per idea) |
|
| |
With suitable weighting functions F,G. |
|
| |
The award would go to someone who posted a large
number of "meh" ideas. All ideas by the winner would be
automatically "churned." |
|
| |
Maybe tag-line of the week? Just saw "Leaning Tower of Piezo", which is far surpassed by many others which never made it. |

VJW - if you like, why don't you implement this yourself, you can trawl through the ideas each week and decide on the user you think has produced the best stuff, or made you laugh the most, or whatever, and create a website, or a blog, where you can post the name of that user, with a link to their ideas, or annotations or whatever, and tell everyone how great you think they are - with full editorial control, you can make it happen just the way you like. Post a link to your blog from here, and anyone who wants to will be able to read it all from there. |

...which would allow us to say "VJW has twatted the inventor of the week" |
|
| |
[po], half Twitter?
Surely, that's a... |
|
| |
How about: "Inventor of the weak"? |
|
| |
I would like to nominate [UnaBubba]...but he's not here this week. |
|
| |
The title "Inventor of the Week" is very tricky to assign. |
|
| |
The original 7-day week seems to back to about 5000 BC,
and
is lost in the mists of time. Other cultures have had (in
some cases quite recently) weeks of between three and
ten
days, but in no case can I find out who invented these
weeks. |
|
| |
Our reserve pastry-chef did briefly introduce an 8-day
week, based on the household baking cycle and on the
time it took his macaroons to become stale.
Unfortunately, he was lost to us in a tragic spotted dick
incident. His widow, however, might appreciate the
"Inventor of the Week" certificate in his name. |

// great learning opportunity to do serious research into //
Well, a bit of cursory research at least. |
|
| |
Sorry,but I'd dislike this as much as fishboner of the week. |
