PS if you’re into the TimeTable and what we do [ahem] you might like our new project, it’s a robot that we’re taking to the Houses of Parliament. You can send it a message, telling it what you care about, and it will write it out, in real time, in Parliament itself for politicians to see. we were interested in how you can use the web to connect people and politics. come and have a play http://www.vinspired.com/voicebox

hey, what’s with all the negativity? @ione most of the things you mention are private ways of telling the time, many people will look at their watch, privately wish the person who won’t stop talking, would stop talking, but won’t say anything. this way, there’s a collective sense of how much time is left in the meeting. the fact that we used light panels actually makes it pretty subtle. they’re hardly flashing all the way through. plus, it’s about having a bit of fun. we built it, so we’d obviously stick up for it, but if i could have one for when my in-laws come round for dinner, i’m in.

Apparently everyone involved forgot just how many ways they already have to tell time; cells and smart phones, laptops, mp3 players, watches, the clock on the wall even?. Just plain hilarious that it took three groups to develop what ended up a poorly thought out, redundant and distracting design.

This table would be perfect for the survivor style meetings I want to hold. Every 15 minutes, the least productive person in the room gets eliminated by popular vote. If the table had four lights, you would just kick someone out every time a light went out. Survival of the fittest!
