Google Moderator is a new way to facilitate question-and-answer sessions during talks, presentations and events that involve large groups of people. Anyone can submit a question and then people can vote on the questions that they'd like answered. http://moderator.appspot.com
If you end up doing something useful with this, then let me know. As a test, I jumped into the list of questions for World Leaders, specifically those for the Dalai Lama. I voted on all of the other people's questions, but couldn't think of a question to pose to the Dalai Lama myself. I might ask him why his peeps want Tibet so bad, when everything else in their life eschews attachment, but if it looked like he thought I was being insolent, even when I am not, then I might back off. That complex interplay of emotions was too tough to get typed into a single text box, so I just mumbled to myself and wandered off instead. I hope you have better luck.A more profitable line of questions being moderated surrounded Google's Android Phone Platform. It asked "What applications would you like to see on Android?" Now that was something I could really believe in. Amazingly, someone had already suggested a GPS search game. Brilliant!
