I think this could be great material for future projects here. Inspired by something Edward Shanken informaly sayd on PICNIC about hacking Google to randomize its results: Making a search engine (Elgoog) that delibaretly sends people to the opposite they searched for. Or a social network that every now and then randomly mixes up peoples friends list. Could that help the sheeps get out of their comfort zone? Tnx, very interesting read.
