I suppose any idea could start with something as simple as a sentence or be as complex as a video. Are all new posts worthy of "idea" status? Are only repeat posts worthy of "idea" status? Let's say we build a data structure to hold "ideas." It might have some of the following elements:
- unique identifier
- initial creator
- initial URL
- timestamp of creation of idea
- timestamp of system seeing the idea
- list of variant but related ideas (reworded sentence? made a video?)
- list of repeaters/reposters/retweeters etc and a link to the variant idea expressed
- some kind of classification characteristics (innocuous... violent... subject...)
- trending data to discuss the dynamics of the idea
- a veracity indicator (unknown.. true... debunked publicly... etc nee Snopes.com)
- a measure of the number of people repeating the idea per second (idea velocity)
- a measure of the change in the number of people repeating the idea per second (acceleration)
