I read this and it immediately shouted at me:
"Chatroullette clone"
I'm not entirely sure how this might work. Maybe something along the lines of :
Every 15 minutes a screenshot of your work is sent to a complete stranger. If they think you're procrastinating, they can hit a "horn" button which causes a loud noise to occur on your computer, and broadcasts 5 seconds worth of your reaction.
This would need some impressive anti-troll precautions. Or at least a way to temporarily disable the horn, so nobody can blast it when you're in the middle of a video chat with a client, but then that'd be a source of temptation.
Alright, imagine that you as the "watched" have a choice on the type of alert you get hit with. And on the number of strangers that have to want to alert you before it happens - maybe your screen gets sent to 10 strangers and they have to achieve a quorum.
Or 10 friends. This could be a facebook app.
If anyone decides to work on this, please let me know in advance.
One possible solution is to build a set of training data, which with a tagged series of sceenshots and fake responses. So the watcher wouldn't know for sure whether they were getting a real person or old data. heck, you could use that element to moderate previous watchers.
Hi Adelene, while writing the post I hoped that you'd describe the things you're doing among these lines. Please?
My response quickly attained top-post length. I expect to have it posted sometime tonight.
ETA: Given the choice of doing it well or doing it quickly, I'm doing it well. I still expect it to be up sometime today.
I'm going to nag you till you post it.
Please do. :)
I currently have 7 paragraphs, mostly of specific implementable advice, and am organizing my thoughts for the 8th, which is the part I think you're most interested in. A friend also suggested a few more concepts that I should probably at least mention, too, which might mean shuffling things around a bit.
I am waiting for it, too.
Almost done. I'm contemplating the final paragraph now. I'm probably going to post it without much editing; I'm starting to have trouble staying awake.
Posted!
