Idea #38: dydi

“dydi” (stands for ‘did you do it’) is a social activity tool + game. It’s a random activity generator for individuals and social groups. Here’s how it works,

1. The user needs to sign up with ‘dydi’ and during registration provide lots of specific inputs about interests, daily activities, passions, goals, swot analysis etc

2. User need may or may not create social groups by adding other users

3. Based on the profile details + details of others within the social group + a certain amount of randomness + calendar details of the user and others in the profile, ‘dydi’ will assign ‘specific/pointless/fun/profound/etc etc types of activities to the user or the user can ask ‘dydi’ to assign activities to others within the social group

4. Activities can be for the min/hr/day/week

5. The receiver of these activities will complete the activity, submit a summary and earn points. The points can be used by the groups or the individual user to gift goodies to one another

6. The activities could be anything and is generated by ‘dydi’. Users cannot create their own activities but can create activities for other but has to be submitted to ‘dydi’ which will schedule/assign to the intended user

Idea #2: SoPer!!

Our life is a sequence of activities. Little actions linked in a sequence to form patterns, personalities, societies and our general way of life. Everything is a sequence of events. Any change in one event inevitably leads to changes in the eventuality of the event before the change happened.

What we call as personal changes is actually change in activities. Some changes are conscious, some innate and some coerced by circumstances. If the same activity changes in a large multitude of people at the same time then what we call as changes in the society occur.

SoPer is a social media service that tracks, measures, designs and reports social changes occurring as a result of small personal changes in activity.

It is completely user driven where a user creates of list of activities that comprises his/her daily life. Activities should be as granular and as specific as possible. Once the activities are created the user can trigger changes to an individual or a set of activities and share with other users within a closed or an open group. Others in the group can emulate these changes or trigger their own changes.

Closed groups can create rules of compliance in which a change in activity agreed by a group will be followed by all members of the group. There should be an option for members to opt out.

The changes can be permanent or for a limited period as agreed by the group. Change in activity does not project changes in the outcome but the outcome of the change in activity is a mere observation of the impact of changes. In other words there are no set goals but goals are observed, documented and shared with other users or other groups. These can be made public or can be kept private.

SoPer is intended to provide a social web platform to affect societal changes through small personal activity changes that happens within groups of people.
