Personally I haven't tried it yet but I saw an interview Kevin Rose did to the founder on Foundation and the idea seems promising (also gave great insight on how to rate and encourage your employees but thats off-topic)
It kinds of add badges, achievements, challenges and more stuff to try and make the learning experience and process a more enjoyable activity.
@benologist yeah, what worries me the most is that right now this site is becoming something like that. Looks like people would rather post the link than look around here and see if the topic was already "posted"
@nathan_f77 that's a great idea, I mean, that would make the site so much cleaner and will keep more "real" content being pushed.
yeah, i'm talking about this site.
The think is that you can browse through the first 4 or 5 pages and you will notice a bunch of duplicates; which is sad because among a lot of duplicates and posts about exciting things in twitter the real content gets lost.
Yeah, I think Steve Jobs was the one that put in "fashion" the paranoidal "paradigm".
I think its a "well played" move on both ends, this guarantees apple that their projects will be kept hidden until they find "trustable employees" within their ranks and also every time they are about to release something new they create such "drama" that people get interested months before the release.
I have a friend that works at an Apple Store and yeah, they keep thinks really hidden and secured until the release data.
