I believe that inside the hacks lies one of our biggest potential for high-impact content. The way I see it, they represent our stories of the future. And when I refer to “our stories”, I mean that we have in our hands the opportunity to start telling our own stories...

Sometimes, when I am in a hackathon working on an idea, I find myself longing to have a developer around the team that could help us, for example turn our “prototype”-vaguely an excel spreadsheet- into something that looks more like a web app for hacking management. There are other times...

Many of the events on the MIX, like M-Prize competitions and hackathons, can prove challenging for busy people--either because the contribution required is onerous (it can take several hours to submit a thorough story) or because the process lasts for an extended period of time (hackathons can run for several...

As is the case with most forum-like services its far too easy for ideas to get lost in the long list of ideas. No one has found the magical formula for making sure people get to see the best ideas in a forum. Reddit and Stackexchange have probably come the...

We can feel a natural push for "Short stories" and "Extracts". Somehow useful, although quite drying. I believe we need to manage such paradox and propose real solutions to avoid the "Keep It Simple and Stupid" drifting effect. Our society (social as much as corporate) is already reducing its thinking...

Part of this is because of the format for stories/hacks, but I'd like more of the bio of the author(s) up front so I know who they are, what they've done, why this story/hack is important to them

While hacks and posts to the MIX can be punched out to twitter and other social media outlets, it would be interesting to find a way to bust out a full blown platform as a part of or create a seamless portal of connectivity to LinkedIn.  I view my posts...

It's very hard to find specific content here. If everyone was encouraged to tag their content with specific keywords, and the site search was better, that could go a long way. The site could work more like a fully searchable blog, with related stories/hacks/content under each new post....

There were a lot of questions in the story template. Responding to all of them seemed redundant and made the stories very long. This problem was two fold, as a contributor it made it difficult and as a reader it was even more difficult. There was a lot of stuff...

As others like Deborah Mills-Scofield has pointed out, we have a great deal of textual content here. But I think we need not just a short summary, but to look at the information in different ways: - management topic relationships - people relationships - company particulars (e.g. size, industry) -...
