Excellent way to link social media to a social good! This tool, if it ever came to fruition, would be invaluable in helping so many people that are crying out for help..

Nice job, thanks for the post!

Hi Jonathan,

Great post. Many of our community members are from NZ and AU and are experiencing the same data overload you describe and are working on collaborative solutions to overcome this. We talk a bit about this on our blog at www.openmethodology.org. When you have a moment, would you mind sharing some of your ideas with us?

I really had high hopes for Clare... I suppose something more along the line of the Lisa Marie bum dance proves more sustainable...

They are all talk and nothing concrete I might add:)) Carbon emissions could be easily reduced by simply forcing all car companies produce cars that have a different mean of propulsion other than oil of course. But then the major oil companies would go bankrupt and we would find ourselves in another global economical crisis... Tricky, isn't it?

Hi Nigel

Absolutely. There are multiple issues even over and above the issues you have raised, but it's not impossible. As with all these things there's a point when the issues of implementation outweigh the issues of not implementing.

It's worth putting the idea out there though because it might actually resonate with someone who is looking for a solution.

There's definitely a Kids Helpline over here. It would be interesting to see if the an idea like this would be taken up by a not for profit. Are you saying that if we could pitch an idea like this Radian6 would be willing to support the endeavour?

David - my reply (below or somewhere) is a bit negative but if there are enough people in enough places willing to work with it it might just fly - let me know if you need a UK link...

Re: Can Radian6 be used to prevent suicides and murders?

nigellegg — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 15:28:35 -0000

Great idea, but this will need funding - and from who? The system would "catch" incidents from anywhere on the English-speaking internet, and therefore could not be funded out of a single police or law enforcement budget. If you set to region, it goes by IP address - so anybody posting in the UK for example to a *.wordpress.com blog would only be picked up by a US search -and the FBI don't yet have jurisdiction here. This is a really nice idea, but it will need a not-for-profit to set up, run, and notify the relevant authorities. In other words, it will be lots of work.

Hey there Jonathan,

That's a very cool idea. Maybe it could be paired up with the non-profit org like Kids Help Phone (not sure if they have something similar in Australia) or another organization where volunteers are already staffing phones to offer help to those in need. They could answer the "social phone" and could reach out to connect or work with the other help organizations as you mentioned.

Again, great thinking on this Jonathan. I'd be interested in working with you on this if you found a non-profit partner(s) interested in exploring these possibilities.

Cheers.

Very scary indeed. This is the irony of knowing all out because of progress. What we can do for now is to be alert.

Sam, I think your comments are spot on. We are seeing an evolution, not a revolution.

Would love to come but it clashes with the monthly #PRGathering for tech PRs in Sydney.

It seems her confident and articulate performance is going to land her plenty of TV gigs according to today's Sunday Telegraph. Good luck. Just goes to show that if you have the courage to do things like this, there are benefits just around the corner. Although, telling a porkie pie in the first place seems to have been forgotten now.
