Web History Needs More Story



I give away free business ideas. To become free from business, grow these ideas into an in-your-face interface which serves human needs:

Web history is narratized experience: story. Your web story. Your web history is your life story. Your web story is composed of the following elements:

Active and Passive Identity-Definition and Re-Definition

  1. How I see myself
  2. How I want to be seen
  3. How I see others
  4. How I think others see me (see: RD Laing, “Politics of Experience”)

Phrased differently:

  1. I see.
  2. I want.
  3. I think.

Phrased differently again:

  1. Things I’m thinking about (active and passive)
  2. Emotional coloring (conscious and reactive)
  3. Things I want to associate myself with (proximity)
  4. Things I want to distance myself from / be liberated from
  5. Nostalgia, Day-Dreaming, Projection (imagining an entirely different perceptual center)
  6. Perceptual blip-tracking (what’s coming up on your radar)
  7. Social pingback management (engagements, scales, levels)
  8. Parity maintainence with shared value systems (downloads, updates, patches)

Look at what is “strongly-expressed” and what is “weakly-expressed”…

If your web history is your story, who is your editor and publisher?

    Class.

    About a month ago I realised that ‘business computing’ doesn’t mean ‘computing for business’ but ‘computing /like/ business’. This was a minor revelation.

    Social pingback management meets perceptual blip-tracking. I’m telling you, master this and you’ll be wildly rich…

    A leaked video contains details on Google’s plans to integrate a number of its offerings (think Picasa, GTalk, Calendar, Reader and more) into what the movie refers to as “activity streams.” Activity streams can be subscribed to by friends, creating a way to track and update what you and your friends are up to, à la Facebook’s feeds….

    Google Reader will become, not just a way to track news items, but also where you can see what your friends are up to.

    […] Attempting to operate in this fashion - according to principles of creative collaboration and mutually inspired abundance (among shared value communities) - has given me glimpses of how this “internet of the future” might work. For me, it hinges around two core concepts: […]
