The Process
• Locked in a room, scrabbled and understood.
• Came out for fresh air, everything was web 2.0.
• Whatever. Went back into room...
• Sociality is a satellite concern.
• QB .. a rich content system.

Functionality

Pick up the REAL book
• Indexed Project Gutenberg.
• 19,000+ Classic Books, rich in quotes and context. Matched our quotes into books.
• The most famous books in history marry the axioms of classical wisdom.
Higher and beyond
• Blog Bling, badges. Tumblelog/QuoteStream.
• Complete the triad - Photos (FlickR, etc), Videos (YouTube, etc.), Text (QB).
• SMS and mobile web.
• The “Quote Cosmos”. Meaningful, useful.
• Aiming for longevity ... search engine for anything notable that anyone has written or said.
• We’re working with Amazon WS, BBC Backstage, Ask.com, Answers.com, Twitter and... you?
