Feeling social...Not! I beg your pardon I never asked you for a walled garden.
I'm suffering claustrophobia.
I've been in more walled gardens than your average Victorian era child , if you believe those movies, these last six months. I'm also trying to assimilate research on "social proof" and how that carries over to online. It's way too early on that to have an opinion that's worthwhile but it's leading me towards the diminution of the search engine as a destination site in favor of communities were nearly any search worth doing has already been done. Sound like 2.0'ish propaganda?
Here's some 10.2 propaganda,
I long for the day when my phone , implant, hud, w-e as long as it's not in suppository form ( Windows is a big enough pain in the ass) knows I am standing outside of an eatery and it drags in the menu, health scores, reviews and basically feeds me the kind of info that's brought into existence by my proximity to lunch time. Now who is going to do that for me? 5k of my best Facebook buddies? I don't think so. The real question is whose going to program us ? I-robot or I- Google?
Back to this part of consensual reality.
Mahalo's not a bad idea but it's too broad for me and I don't get the feeling that it's people like me , I like people like me , I trust me and seemingly the research backs up my likelihood to believe "me" more which is something I've found on many forums, many game and a few meetup groups but =never= in the morass of anonymity that's the Facebooks and Myspaces of the world. E.g despite the local groups on most services it's hard to tell which city you are surfing, you'd never make that mistake on Craig's list then again they don't own like they "own you" I'm sure there's a lesson in there somewhere.
One a wiser and more awake person can wrangle with.
