Welcome a quick thought or idea by putting the submission box right by the question or topic. Just to make a point, I had to click three times to submit this idea. This would contribute to shorter, faster, better defined events, and it would pull people right into the discussion,...

There were a lot of questions in the story template. Responding to all of them seemed redundant and made the stories very long. This problem was two fold, as a contributor it made it difficult and as a reader it was even more difficult. There was a lot of stuff...

Posting a story was difficult. The site is not very “graphic friendly” and some how our changes didn’t always show up. This may well have been operator error. Nevertheless, it would help if we had a gorilla proof site. Bruce was incredibly prompt and patient but if the MIX expands,...

I’m not clear what the rankings mean or how to evaluate them. I’m reminded of the Chase Facebook million dollar competitions that ask participants to vote for the most worthy non-profit. The winners tend to be organizations that have an active social media strategy and as a result increase Chase’s...

I've noticed some sites and services adding unique methods for highlighting portions of a post to share via social networks. For example, the new service Branch has great highlighting as done a couple times in this thread: http://branch.com/b/hr-matters-google-is-great-to-work-for?ref=sidebar#Q... It would be great to have a similar highlighting feature in...

As is the case with most forum-like services its far too easy for ideas to get lost in the long list of ideas. No one has found the magical formula for making sure people get to see the best ideas in a forum. Reddit and Stackexchange have probably come the...

I'm thinking something that leaves you spellbound and really inspired.

While experience means different things to different people, let me narrow it down to one area, based on my conversation with some of the people in my network. Here is what I have heard - Once you post an article for a MIX contest (say M-PRIZE or H-PRIZE etc), no...

While great ideas can happen from both expected and unexpected places (and times), they in most cases, fall through the cracks, without even seeing its day light, partly because, most people never bother to act on them (i.e. write them down and/or post it in a platform like MIX). Sure...
