My brain is coming out of my ears at the moment. Mostly I'm in awe of the people and the thinking I'm tripping over in various investigations.
Firstly, I'm looking at our mantra of the digital social network. So, thanks to Ben Hammersley, I come across Peter Morville's lovely analysis. This in turn leads me to Bonnie, and specifically I find the word nanotechnology on her page, which makes me think of Matt Jones who I know is obsessed with the stuff. Like his dog.
It's all so simple really. As Peter, amongst others, says neatly, we use people to find content, and content to find people.
People don't want to be bored, they want company, they want stimulation, and they want it in easy ways. Multiple ways, too. Sod convergence, more experimentation!
