Transceiving - Increasing Knowledge by Exchanging Ideas

The Transceiver Project - For Transmission and Reception of Knowledge and Ideas.

Key idea is to transmit and receive ideas to build up a knowledge base.
Idea is to avoid static nature of knowledge bases.
This can be done by using podcasts, streaming and social networking channels to increase the connectivity to people's ideas and minds.

[Thoughts]

b) Memorable:
