>>AUDIENCE: tumblr tech developers, cloners

1. Create a Jing-like interface which doesn’t just do screen grabs but pulls down blocks of text, audio, video, URLs, keyword clusters (nodes), and send them off to a tumble log somewhere. A reference point collector. (Similar to the Tumblr bookmarklet pop-up, but something which works on the system level like Jing…)
2. That thing’s RSS feed becomes the stream of information you see when you open up your WordPress dashboard. Each RSS data chunk thing can be rearranged into a new flow (smooth moves like widgets customizing order), and have new information layers, commentary and narrative “poured in” on top and re-published under my domain name(s)
3. In this way, surfing the web becomes a staging for re-transmission of data through blogs, emailing, social networking. From my WordPress interface, I should have the ability to send leveled nudges to specific recipients (maybe pulled from my Gmail contacts or other sources)
4. Transforms computer from desktop metaphor with windows to “stage” metaphor with “scenes” and “narratives.”
