I can *almost* see some of the interface elements this stuff will require. We are, I think, about to reach a flash point.

We very well may be, at least the potential “energy” is there to make some really interesting things occur. As far as information space and topolgy and so forth its kind of the easy stuff…Its people that are the more interesting and complex part. That’s why interface is so important.

The thing about the Internet is we all love it, but we haven’t yet let it out of the box. Its like our pet, we sit around at home feeding it and interacting with it but only through the protective walls of our glass screens, like some kind of fish in an aquarium. We look at it as this other world we interact with, rather than an integral part of our living, normal worlds. And yet while we focus on this fish of ours, the world outside goes to hell, even though we have the framework here to make it a more livable wonderful place to live.

So interface is definately the place for growth to occur now, as I think you’ve known for a while…though it’ll be a while before its reading our minds, there are many many improvements that can be made over Myspace.com, and even the whole paradigm of tapping on keys looking at a luminous information aquarium.

We need abstract concepts that are flexible enough to literally build maps, so there can actually be a mapped topography of these ideologically similar communities.

Awesome way to put it. I like the proxy thing as well. Will keep hammering away at language for this. I can *almost* see some of the interface elements this stuff will require. We are, I think, about to reach a flash point.

One idea from way back was a local web proxy that also does P2P sharing, so your web history is basically shared, it operates as a search engine indexing as you surf more than a file distribution system. But it would automatically use your computer to process lots of information about where you go. As far as security, I’m more interested in a sheild of propriety, where the act of looking at your naughty visitations is as naughty as those things themselves (except in criminal cases) so that the observing party “shares” in whatever guilt there is…Its like the orgy scene from eyes wide shut, if you’re there, you’re taking part, and if you’re not taking part, you’re trespassing. But this stems from my own political convictions about how society should be open.

The second idea is that people need to look more at the topography of information space, how we can describe proximity between “reference points” in a more formal way. We need abstract concepts that are flexible enough to literally build maps, so there can actually be a mapped topography of these ideologically similar communities.

They are pulling content from my Feedburner feed which pulls the content out of context, and then they put it into a new format on a new domain name which never references where it came from originally.

The link from their site to mine is filtered through Feedburner, so the link value is given to FeedBurner (I’m guessing) instead of my site. Which might explain why my PR has dropped a point, although I have some other guesses as to why…

this site is being shuffled among tech investor people informally as a “CHINESE GOOGLE KILLER”

run parallel searches on baidu.com and google for “reference point keyword clusters” without the quotes

off baidu, this is the first result:

a clone of my content stripped out of its context but otherwise untampered with.

WAVE OF THE FUCKING FUTURE

now imagine you have a third level clone which pulls this out of context again, changes content and plugs in advertising surreptitiously throughout, while simultaneously burying or at least obscuring the true original source

censorship where you have idea that its even occurring

not even censorship - this goes way past that and pushes into a whole new paradigm

VOLITION ENGINE

A language is a symbol code for exchanging value.
