(HBSN) How to Build a Social Network

Love this!!

Interesting to use this as a impetus for the next big thing in social media.

"\nIn a recent interview with EMC's Stu Miniman about the future of the web, I predicted that in 20 years, we'll all have online reputation scores. Little badges, numbers that communicate our level of authority, this sort of thing. And these reputations will have tangible impact.\n\nThree different trends come together at some point in the future to make this happen. These trends have been underway for a while, but come together at some tipping point in the years ahead. Here's a visualization of the trends:"

I signed up at co-op, if anyone wants to give it a shot with my .me address.

so we are not the only ones discovering that it is the more of the social and less of the network...so, the network is the issue???

I think it's an issue more of human attention span and capability. It's much easier to keep tabs on and interact with a smaller group because we lack the ability to divide our attentions out beyond a certain point. There are already enough distractions in the world between family, work, neighborhood, town, city, state, country, etc. Adding another layer of interaction complicates everything else that is going around. In a small group, voices can be picked out from the crowd and heard--attended to. In a large group, a single voice gets drowned by the activity of everyone else, and the 'group' loses identity as a group, and becomes a mob. Besides, I like the bulletin board analogy--it really brought this idea. Time to stop looking at all the pinheads and pair down the clutter, right?

Cool top-level view structure. We need a structure like this for social mapping as an alternative. I always wanted one of these for my twines in Twine. What if everyone who had a Diigo had one of these to SEE what was being created and to whom they are connected.

That's really COOL. I like the relativity with size relationship thing they gots goin' on. I want it to go on more though--3 levels just isn't enough. It would also be incredible if we could spin-axis and view from other directions as well. Remember this?   http://www.twine.com/item/11808fysj-523/3d-twine

I will always remember that!!! it is still alive somewhere on my harddrive!!

Look Jack--this is how you monetize. basic functionality is free--bookmarking one item to one group at a time. Premium account gets added functionality to do more stuff faster. Free crack pipe with every purchase.

beat you by 2 hours jack LOL

@Kurt - LOL

Server server model - not thin client - server Content is on owned server - published out with privacy and pay wrapper When you want to you can 'sell' content to services - you still control it they get it by call out Ajax left behind at presentation service We build reference front end Own the means of production ie a server Tyrant would make it illegal for anyone to own a server (printing press) On the welcome page we can redirect new users for ISP and personal server host, take cut Just collect all the producers together and tell them they can own and control evthg they publish, period, then publishing services will come running Take a vig on the pay wrapper /kdl

note that all elements of this model (structure (relations and aspects), content, presentations) have a privacy and value exchange wrapper on them and can be 'bought and sold' using a value exchange model, this may be everything from rick/frank/twain agreeing to exchange content for content straight up to a start up firm valuing all aspects of contribution to the start up, including things like commitment, deliverables, ip, validation, ideas etc.

safe of gold...gold is for suckers!! i have a safe full of CHOCOLATE!!!! Serious though, i see the structure and i am becoming more enamored with the concept.

Sega and HEAT.net have officially announced that the online gaming web site will shut down on October 31, 2000. HEAT.net provides game-matching services and hosts online games including 10Six. HEAT.net members will receive a special e-mail announcement including exclusive offers for SegaNet membership. Sega has decided to redirect the HEAT.net resources to SegaNet to create a more comprehensive online gaming portal. 10Six will continue operation at www.10Six.com.

I posted this as a historical note. Heat.net was the first place to serial number their game items, ie. a truck or gun acquired is not one of a class, but rather a unique item. this amplifies the value concept related to the item.

Social Networking chimpanzee style.

I'm retired ... I'm retired ... I'm retired ... did I say that already?

ROI of Social Media

did you check out their origination site? Knowledge as a tangible asset. hmmnnn. I smell the next finacial meltdown arena.

really more *net than HBSN, but thinking ahead>>> architecture posted earlier with content producer literally keeping posession, serving out content with a pay and privacy wrapper to sites who do nothing but resolve to the content (ie don't keep it) sort of like video embeds that can be yanked remotely - I will be paying attention to this guy

incidentally though I have yet to clear through his blog, lots of interesting headings in there, it's not just the content that can be bought and sold, the metadata sets (aspects, object types, class types) can be much more readily sold as can the next level of indirection, presentations for those aspects - next item up for bids is the structure (or instance relations) when one 'adopts' a piece of someone's perspective it could register a microtransaction of value. paying for interest in a piece of content makes more sense than paying for reading it, though interest is a bit trickier to ascertain - value assignment can be done in arrears by tracking liquidity events through the corpus of material the person getting that liquidity has 'experienced' in their travels, ie they may have been 'influenced' by another piece of music in their composition and not even realize it, but the music analysis bot and history bot will suck that money down to the original composer, which takes me to a post wildcat shared about IP, will go find now... scuffle scuffle

cheap servers, everyone can get one, then we get a power server to run the presentation server

Cheap servers ... sounds great!
