Idea a day:
96. Other than the bubble index, the same methodology could be used creatively.
The purpose of these index is to show people quantitatively what the general environment/opinions on certain subjects, at which the index could approximately monitor the change of focus.
One example is to develop a salary index (加薪). For people working in private sector, what means could be more effective than showing your boss the salary index to back up your request?
You could say that there are many regular surveys on salary level in different sector, but the survey could only be quarterly or half yearly, in contrast, the salary index could provide you with an instant, use-any-time way of improving your salary.
Other examples could be of:
1. 北上 index, to monitor the willingness and popularity in spending and playing in China
2. 壓力/幸褔/快樂 index, to show how stressful/joyful HK people are now
3. 六四 index, other than monitor weekly change, numbers could be compared with figures in previous years, like 六四事件, we could quantitively get the sense if the fire is still there.
The sky is the limit...

The problem is in the newspaper articles posting section or in the idea a day section?

yaya...It's not Apr now...haha
Ryan,
Yes, there are many opinion voting out there, and it should be effectively reflect the public view if the survey is conducted professionally.
But if considering the authority when comparing newspaper articles and small public votings, which will be more trustful?

An idea a day:
95. Develop a bubble (泡沫) index, which is a similar indicator to The Economist's Recession index.
The Economist's Recession index keep counting the number of stories in the New York Times and the Washington Post which include the word "Recession", to act as a indicator and reflection on the world's investment environment.
By now, the most hip issue on the topic of economic is surely the "Stock Bubble" appears in HK and China market, although many are anticipitating it, no one could sure when will it comes.
I strongly believe in the wisdom of crowds, if all people believe something will happens, things just happen. As newspapers reflect the general feel and opinions of crowds to some degree, bubble index could surely be an indicator of the climax before bust, whereas near all people expect bubbles about to happens.
My bubble index is calculated as follows:
1. The index number is the number of articles with the word "泡沫" in heading or within the article.
2. The source of articles include all the newspapers and magazines in HK.
3. As a convenient way to count, different newspapers are of equal weighting, HKEJ will not have a heavier impact on the index than Wenweipo.
4. The index could also extent to China, whereas only China newspapers are counted.
5. Count in weekly style, as stock advise and columns are lesser in weekends. The number of newspapers is also lesser as some may not publish in weekends.
The bubble index in HK for the week of 20/26 May is 339.
Below is the index from the week of 25/31 Mar to 20/26 May:
84, 82, 115, 159, 193, 263, 331, 339
The index is increasing gradually from 84 to a max of 339 this week, how amazing!!!
Is there any indication (may be contrarian indication), or it is just a coincide???
Comments:
Hey hey, your ideas are back!!!

@ Monday, May 28, 2007 at 9:53:00 PM GMT+8It's really interesting for your findings, although I am not quite agree with this kind of theory.
What if the index is a lagging indicator, instead of a leading one?
Also, like bubble itself, no one could foresee the peak of the bubble index, how could people make use of it to predict the time of busting??
But surely, this is a funny index, creative guy!
