Talk:Public incubator

Removal of link to editor's site
In response to the removal of The Do Good Gauge External Link, here are some thoughts.

Conflict of Interest? Probably. Malicious? I hope not. For what it is worth, I would rather the definition be expanded than acquire credit.

The Do Good Gauge is my thesis, three years in the making. When a professor, from University of California Irving, requested a twenty word summary. Two words provided the clearest understanding; Public Incubator.

In conjunction, the two words are sparingly found in search engine results. The draft definition requires refinement. Distinction between a business and public incubator should be apparent. I hope the world 'public' is not lost in the definition. Benjamin Franklin's Junto (club) and Thomas Paine's Headstrong Club describe collaborative efforts to culture ideas for public good, though the public was excluded from these closed societies. Similar societies as the Junto and Headstrong Club would include the Knights of Columbus, Missouri Public Questions Club, and Kiwanis. Again, I would like to distinguish a Public Incubator from these organizations. I hope the Public nature of the definition describe a culture of democratic consensus.

 * Are you saying that this article is meant to be about your concept of "public incubator" as developed in your thesis? Dougweller (talk) 22:11, 29 December 2010 (UTC)


 * No, I created the page to recruit public participation developing the terminology behind the words.  Yes, I would like to steer the direction a bit, though expect through exploration the concept will broadened beyond my initial thoughts. BenDoGood (talk) 21:03, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
