I wrote the following to Yahoo in 26 May, 2006 and then in June 13, 2006 (18 days later), they launch "Ask the Planet" in which "online users ... help answer the world's biggest questions from celebrities, world-renowned authorities, and Yahoo! users".
This, in part, is what I had written to them:
"...I would like acknowledgement for my idea, however. Give me the credit of having suggested it originally, for I believe it has the potential to become a global brain, an organized network of people connecting with each other like neurons to think together to create ever better solutions to problems. In fact this would be revolutionary. The internet is not organized. However, an opportunity for dialogue around questions can be organized. You can even have great scientists suggest questions in each field. They will be the leading open questions in each area of inquiry. This would be in parallel to questions from individual inquiring minds. The internet is a mass of thinking minds wai
