Creatively enhancing products and services using innovation and collaboration.
How about sharing the all knowledge that ENABLES anyone to be happy for free EFFECTIVELY (everyone can do this easily by sharing free online information that makes EVERYONE happy with their peer group &more)?...
http://www.WEBiversity.org aims to do this and below are two great examples of free video content that can be shared with anyone free. Pass on this free information to any/everyone you know so
The more we share good things the more we encourage each other to share even more good things so we all benefit (mainly by making ourselves feel good by doing the sharing).
How best to enable EVERYONE to help EVERYONE easily and cheaply so we all benefit?
Want free creative & innovative help to enhance any project / service? We can help & with CSR os nfp charity too.
Yes it is true. We can enhance whatever you are doing by creatively innovating for free! If you like what we have done we ask that you donate as much as you can so that we can set up a FREE Creative & Innovation charity that enables Everyone to help Everyone. http://www.WEBiversity.org is the prototype.
We previously did this for organisations such as..
http://www.oxfam.org.uk when setting up the Pioneering Fairtrade Coffee Shop Progreso
http://www.BBC.co.uk when creating and successfully pitching pioneering social media multiplatform productions.
We won a BBC wide TV pitching competition when pitching to Peter Fincham (now ITV Studios Commissioner) and Peter Salmon (Now BBC Studios Commissioner) with a Multiplatform social media production that used the wisdom of crowds to enable anyone to help Charity that raises significant funds for Charity though voting.
We also won an http://www.unltd.org.uk award for creating 50 free Trust Libraries across the uk using recycled books and empty shops as one example of how anyone/everyone can create their own public services.
Here are a couple of quick and easy ways we can enhance your work...
1.
We would love to help enhance your work by using my UI Design and Social Media knowledge to help you enhance the Gaming features of the site to users are drawn to use it more and more for constructive outcomes.
2.
For example can your organisation run as a not for profit that donates/invests any surplus funds that you generate (in future profits & donations) into NEW INNOVATIVE solutions to human problems? This will enable you to grow to gain a cumulative mass with a USP that competitors can not steal so you can grow as big as Wikipedia/Mozilla while partnering with them. You and everyone involved will then get rich on performance pay knowing that you have created a self sustaining innovation & collaboration platform that saves lives. Video's of a presentation about Traidmark at http://www.TRAIDmark.org explain more.
It would be great if this is possible as it would secure the success of your enterprise AND generate philanthropic funds that are invested in innovative solutions so save many lives.
Help anyone make themselves happy instantly by reading the FREE BOOK and watching the video's at http://www.WEBiversity.org What is the best way that you help others?
We are looking for programmers to help everyone help everyone using innovative re-uses of open source software to do this. If interested contact @whymandesign
Do help create free entertaining education for all with http://www.WEBiversity.org http://www.TRUSTlibrary.org
http://www.TRAIDmark.org explains how anyone can enhance what they are doing for FREE by making themselves feel great by using surplus funds to donate to innovative charitable work. Do take the time to read and watch all the video's as it is proven by cooperatives that you can enhance your success AND innovate so you can help 000's of others, enjoy your work more and save lives!
Below are a few Twitter conversations with open minded innovators...
Tweets about Helping everyone help everyone....
What is the best way you know that everyone can help everyone easily? Sharing free knowledge to make anyone happy free?
Want to help everyone help each other solve problems with innovation? Please help. There are several sections below...
We would like to help anyone wanting to help others. For instance can we help you using the http://www.TRAIDmark.org business model (where you get rich with performance pay and you gain from added goodwill created by donating funds to charity?) This is essentially a cooperative or Not for Profit but where any surplus funds are invested in NEW Innovative Not for Profit activity that solves different social problems innovatively.
It solves several issues.
A. It invests any wealth generated into more Innovation creating Institutional Innovation
B. It stops organisations getting large (large organisations become inefficient)
C. It stops anyone running any organisation from getting corrupted by power/wealth as all organisations are small and efficient.
D. It rewards success (through the application of Innovation) in a clever way that encourages selfless hard work by enabling the successful people who use the business model to go on an invent then develop new innovations so they create the freedom co continually make new ways to help others. It also rewards hard work with performance pay so anyone motivated by greed can still get rich (without owning the organisation).
1.
Would it be possible to help enhance what you are working on using the power of social media to encourage more people to help with your existing and future projects using crowdsourcing?
2.
We are creating a charity crowdfunding collaboration drupal site using
pioneering open source modules and were hoping we could develop this
with you to enhance your great work?
We are also aiming to use the site to collect donated funds for
charity by using a re skinned version of different software for
charitable use as a not for profit?
http://pledgie.com/campaigns/7538 has more details and contact @whymandesign
3.
Would it be possible to work with you to make a re skinned
version of existing software so we can help the public to solve
other social issues (Ideally using the http://www.TRAIDmark.org business
structure)? Maybe working with someone like
http://www.ONEworldHEALTH.org or http://www.earth.org which
is closing so maybe this is something I could help you take on so
everyone can share local knowledge? Also can http://www.WEBiversity.org
share video's and create http://www.TRUSTlibrary.org with your
team? http://www.WhymanDesign.com
The aim is to create custom branded open source software (so the same
software that exists is used to solve different social issues). Can we
do this starting with enhancing the http://www.WEBiversity.org and
http://www.TRUSTlibrary.org prototype sites?
4.
We created TRUSTlibrary.org which has access to 50 shops that are spread
across the uk and we were hoping to work with you to use the spaces. We
are aiming to install the libraries in any university and were hoping we
could do this with you by working with the your contacts. All that is
needed is for the network and universities to be informed of the
Trustlibrary.org volunteer org so we can talk to them about how easy it
is for them to create TrustLibrary spaces.
5.
We are looking to work with Corporate Social Responsibility and Business Training teams to create real world charitable projects while helping teams to learn and develop.
6.
We are looking to use empty spaces shops or offices while saving you money on those empty spaces at the same time. If you have or know of someone who has an empty space please contact @whymandesign. These could range from a corner of a reception area to a field and can be empty for one evening a week to all year round!
7.
Also do check out... http://ow.ly/1Q0Uw & http://bit.ly/11XLOC The free
book download is really good. What is your favourite book? Is there a
free version online or a film review?
Can we help you and also create a drupal crowdsource site to benefit your work? e.g. version of http://www.WEBiversity.org Also this may be of interest for others?! We are looking for partners to make a re skinned version of existing software so we can help the public to solve any social issue (Ideally using the http://www.TRAIDmark.org business structure)? Maybe working with someone like http://www.ONEworldHEALTH.org or http://www.earth.org which is closing so maybe this is something I could help you take on so everyone can share local knowledge? Also can http://www.WEBiversity.org share video's and create http://www.TRUSTlibrary.org with you? http://www.WhymanDesign.com
This free book is a life changer/saver & legally FREE http://bit.ly/11XLOC (pdf)
Here is an Open Book for Social Innovation discover via @socialedge , it's a pdf doc http://bit.ly/cbVXI1

Public Services?
How is it best to collaborate on building Creative Public Service Broadcasting? http://www.WEBiversity.org and http://www.TRUSTlibrary.org are two examples.
Should Government & organisation & charity spending be used in the most efficient way? The most efficient way is the most creative way as new inventions always create efficiencies that everyone benefits from.
Should Government & organisation & charity work be produced in an open way using open source software so the failures can be learnt from by everyone and the successes can be shared? Surely Mozilla labs have proven the benefits of doing this?
Should Military spending be used to prevent disease famine and extinction in an open peacefull way so as to prevent conflicts caused by lack of resources? http://tinyurl.com/yjvpg5m
http://www.TRAIDmark.org is one way for any Government & organisation & charity & business to create Institutional innovation that benefits everyone in an open way.

No No No Yes. Saying Yes / No Happiness and 8 hours!
1.
What is the unmeasurable negative effect of people saying no or being negative on you me and society? Is it worse to ignore someone than say no to them? Probably...
Here is a list of obvious ways to handle any situation from bad to good...
BAD - Insult, Ignore, Say No, Suggest something, Encourage, Congratulate, Say Yes, Recommend - GOOD
So it takes less effort to say to someone that they are doing well and makes you feel good too.
It appears to be all linked to the EGO that makes some people confused and think that they are better than others so don't want to care or help them which leads to the BAD reactions to any/every enquiry. As these people are negative to other people they get negative responses too leading to a cycle of negativity which makes the egotistical person feel worse and worse. The person who has control of their EGO and acts selflessly helping others gets rewarded many times over as others are nice back to them creating a cycle of GOOD where everyone wins. Often stress creates the negative cycle but this can be combated by looking at others who have 'less' making you feel humble and by laughing at ourselves as in the grand scheme of things nothing we do (nor our lives) appear to matter.
2.
This leads on to how you live your life. To enjoy it or to reach some goal that your parents/society has imposed on you? The TED talk below makes me step back and think about what is important and how money and status are worth less than self belief and pride...
Do not look for happiness but create it with what you have got.
http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_gilbert_asks_why_are_we_happy.html
When people have no choice they change their preferences to make them more happy about what they have. When they have choice they are always comparing what they have to others so are less happy as they compare with the average.
On average nothing is average!
3.
Which leads to what you do with 8 hours of your life! well 3 sets of 8 hours.
8 hours working...
If one person can do a job better than someone else should they take ove the job?
How does that apply to what you do? Would you step aside if someone could do your job better than you?
If you step aside then you would be able to do a different job that you are even better at.
So everyone should keep looking out for someone who could do their job better than them. When they find that person they should give them their job so that they can go on to work in areas that they excel in.
8 hour sleeping...
Is there a way to do good while you sleep? Create a website that offers advice/ helps others that will be online while you sleep.
8 hours relaxing...
Is there a way to do good while you relax? Finding your passion in life and using that to build something that can be used to help others in your local/global community be it art/writing/acting/dancing/singing/playing...
4.
FREEtraid.com aims to help anyone maximise the positive effect of using any time in their day by sharing free advice on using any skill to give away free products/services in exchange for donations so that you can then fund even more great work. Its a gift economy that funds innovative work.
@whymandesign
Is pain and suffering almost always caused by selfish minds? It appears so.
That appears to be one main cause of suffering as many people think they are going without so take from others.Take a look at any selfish or 'evil'/'bad' person. They are always selfish and dont realise that they could give others happiness if they took time to step back and look at their life. Instead they think there is no time to look at their life (takes 5 minutes) so miss the chance to make their life happy and content.I keep forgetting to appreciate what i have and keep getting wound up by life's little problems based around things like my Career.
All of these anxieties come from comparing myself to others so it is inevitable that i am unhappy at least 50% of the time as i (and everyone else) expects to be getting at least above average out of life if not to at least 90%! (meaning i am unhappy 90% of the time!!!).
Several different people suggested going for a walk whenever I feel bad (which works amazingly) and also to look on life not as a task but as a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to see how many other people we can help and make happy. After all if you make someone else happy it makes you feel good so that can only be good. One other way is to look back at the simple things in life that I HAVE rather than look forward at the things i think i want. When i forget to appreciate these things i look up a video of someone who does not have one of these or try to find someone in the street who is missing one of these and try to help them a little. Below is a list of these things (if you cant do one move on to the next please)...
I can Breathe (breath in and out 10 times slowly concentrating on the air flowing into and out of your lounges) [hold your breath for a bit]
I can Touch (move one part of your body very slowly and concentrate on the sense) [sit still then move a tiny part of your body]
I can See (look at one small object or your hand and enjoy being able to see this) [close then open your eyes]
I can Hear (close your eyes and listen to the quietest sounds and enjoy them) [put your fingers in your ears;p]
I can Smell (breath in slowly through your nose and see what you can smell) [breath in through your mouth then nose]
I can Taste (What does your mouth taste like, the air or your skin?) [Eat something tasty]
I can Give (find someone who needs something and give it to them...Hug, Kiss...) [Dont forget to give yourself something too by hugging others]
Do you know any other ways to remind yourself to control your EGO so you stop thinking about yourself and concentrate on helping others who are less (and more) fortunate than you are? Please share this information and any other ways to enjoy life (no matter how obvious) to http://www.FREEHUG.org
We are also looking for people to collaborate on this project. Are you interested?
Books that give lots of great advice on this are listed below as are lots of GREAT TED talks which explain about the benefits of selflessness (it makes YOU happy:) plus lots of free books can be downloaded from Project Gutenberg htt://www.gutenberg.org/
Gearing up to the Cultural Games...
Who can I talk to in the BBC about making the cultural Olympiad accessible to all? The BBC and games would have to reach out and talk to the public in a way never done before if this was to be achieved any way near successfully. In the past people have tried and failed as they appear to have been to scared to let the public speak freely but now the internet is hear it is time for the games / BBC to help the public show what they have to give (and have been giving) to the world (charity/coop...for starters).
And as the host country it is surely courtesy to let the visitors win. Otherwise that would be bad manners old boy (then we could use the funds to help stop people dying from hunger, water contamination or other diseases:).
