A magic information filter would be great indeed. In the meantime, check out what the guys at pinyadda.com are doing.

As a line associate I always appreciated a small amount of recognition far more than the promise of a promotion or raise. Though financially I would have been better off, it felt like getting an A on a test that I studied hard for in school. I knew that I had worked hard a deserved a Thank you. As a manager one of my main focuses has always been showing my employees how much I appreciate their hard work. It makes them feel good about their jobs and boosts morale.
