Directed Sense-making and 6things


The Printing Press made us all Read.  Reading is nothing but directed thinking. Reading saves time. Literally thousands of years of thinking.

The Brilliant Mathematician Ramanujan was an autodidact. Without any formal education, he would think and write, what he discovered, in his notebooks. But, a great number of his discoveries, were in fact rediscoveries. Reading would have saved him many years of thinking and he would have started from, what others already discovered.

We surf the web for information, to research Information. However, whatever we made sense, people don't usually start with that. They start afresh every time they try to research information. This need not be the case.

6things enable to do "directed sense-making".  This directed sense-making would help save hours of researching in the internet.

How does 6things accomplish this? Bees collect honey and they tell other bees, the source of the honey and offer them sample of the honey. 

Billions of people are connected to the internet. They search, research, analyze and make sense of information. 

6things connects you to that intelligence.
