甲骨文 (3)

Educate, Education
On the left, a kid (at the bottom) is learning the 'x' marks (on the top, representing some written words). On the right, a hand is holding a ruler. (It was not uncommon in the old time for a teacher to hit the kid's hands with a ruler if the kid made any mistake.)

甲骨文 (2)

Arrive
An arrow hits the target (from the top)

My Wish List (2)

A workgroup email archiving system: We can define a group by adding the emails of all the teame members. The system then records each email exchanged between any member (s) in the group, sometimes with a subject filter. For example, if A, B and C work on a project D as a team, we can define a group by adding their emails. The system records every email exchanged among A, B and C that has a subject involving project D and publishes the record to a webpage accessible by all the team members. In this way, every team member is kept in the loop. We then don't need to rely on each member to CC other members each time they send emails.

My Wish List (1)

A website where ordinary people can express what kind of new products or services they need and then everyone can vote on the ideas. This may be useful for firms to develop new products or services better serving the needs of customers. In nowadays, we have a lot of advertisement. Companies keep telling you what they can do for you. But we are lack of a proactive way for consumers to tell companies what they want. (Like a buzz work? How about 'reverse advertisement'? :P) Actually, if some companies already have some products or services that meets consumers' needes listed in the website, they can response by adding comments, actually a more effective way to advertise. Hopefully we will see such kind of websits in the near future.
