The app that I made by mistake
Me and my friend made this app for facebook, thinking that it'll be viral. Although it's hardly 2 months after being launched, but we are feeling that it wasn't worth it. Do you have ideas on what else can be spinned off from this ?
Visualyf : My first FB app
http://apps.facebook.com/visualyf/
Hi, I launched my first FB app (for fun) a while back. I am trying to look for some advice on how to improve it. While I am working on the database, I really be a happy human if you could use the app and suggest some improvements. I am not mentioning the thought behind the app deliberately, as I would really like people to figure it out intuitively.

Precisely. I am also amazed by the very fact that people chose multi-disciplines to pursue their interests. And with what results? The results are beautiful when you marry non-allied fields.
I don't know whether I am reading too much between the lines, but Mark Zuckerberg is supposed to be a lover of classical literature. Isn't there a tiny connecting dot answering how did he happen to get hit by the idea connecting people and what they would like, inspite of being a near-solitary person.

I don't mean someone being good and writing a book. I mean it in the old sense of the word. Contributing to more than one non-allied fields. Like someone who's a painter and also a sculptor would not be called a polymath.
But someone who is recognised as a polymath. Jared Diamond for instance.

Least amount of calories required
Just a thought. What could be the least/optimal amount of calories required for someone to function well, in terms of physical and mental fitness. Like, everyday, we consume certain quantities of food, but what exactly do we need to function reasonably top-of-form yet, without an ounce of over-consumption.

Great read. Now that I am nearing 25, this was a question I used to ask myself.
