If we venture out on a cold winter night minding some errand, we are bound to ask ourselves what else do we need in the mall, since we are already there. Similarly, when the Innovation Turing Machine (ITM) has shown its merit over technology innovation challenges, we asked ourselves what else can this ITM be used for? And so we came to focus on personal issues: they tend to be intractable, like some technological challenges, and they sure need innovative thinking. And if wisdom of crowds could be useful in tackling technological problems, much more so with respect to personal issues. After all, not all of us are technological innovators, but we all have personal concerns. And life experience is all that we need to suggest, propose, and contribute to a fellow person who struggles with a nagging personal issue. That is how this TryAgain.com site came to be: offering our users the chance to post a personal problem -- anonymously, and then read what other readers are suggesting should be done about it. Try it out!
