TRIZ for the Real World

For those readers who aren't Twitter followers, I'm aggregating the last week of my tweets.   Some people use these to test themselves on applications of TRIZ concepts, some to challenge me or the generators of the ideas about the solutions.    Frequently I cite lists (10 best, 50 best, etc.) but be warned--the criteria for "best" are frequently NOT TRIZ criteria.   I use these lists to stimulate discussion, not to endorse any particular approach to solving a problem.  The discipline required for 140 character posts was irritating when I started this, but has become a useful tool--if I can't interest people in a topic with 140 characters, maybe I don't understand it well enough?     If you would like to get these observations and comments one at a time, go to http://www.twitter.com/ and "follow"  me  @ellendomb.
