Many people here don't understand refer.ly because they aren't the target audience.

Referly is all about getting influencers and trendsetters paid. Thats it. Existing affiliate programs are broken and a UX that caters to that category is important for adoption. Its as simple as that.

Its current phase is only to build out the product and get their name out there to the smaller influencers from bloggers to those with relatively small following. The real money will come in when you start seeing Shaq's tweets with referly links.

I would add health/physical debt. Many people discount the impact of those extra pounds gained during an unhealthy streak of eating. They not only put you on an unhealthy trajectory that requires a ton of effort to reverse, but they also have many hidden and side effects that unfortunately we can't measure/identify until later on. And that, I guess, is why we discount the health debt.

Yaaa....I think this flew over your head. You are saying that, for example, Wolfram Alpha is like Google. They are completely different: One gives you links that you still have to go through to reach what you need and one gives you a direct answer. Even Woz said in his interview on TC...we don't need search engines, we need answer engines. To say Siri is a search engine with voice to text is a great mistake. Voice recognition is just the outer layer that makes the experience a human experience.

I don't take the words of the author as a prophecy but I see where he is going; and isn't that what science fiction authors kinda did 20-30 years ago? They dreamt; and I wish more people can dream of greater possibilities.

In downtown where cars are bumper to bumper, the location of the green laser would require a sharp downward angle to see it; which begs the question, does this just add another spot that drivers need to check now?

I can see it working in more open roads where this would be easy to see up ahead, but when space gets narrow, the visibility angle becomes tough.

Valiant effort though.
