I have been growing tired with having to hunt down details online of people to contact. Why don’t we build a system whereby any user could send any message to any other user in any format, across platforms, and across technologies?

I guess the interest in this stems in part from using a combination of tools like Twitter and Google Alerts. With Twitter, you can put the @symbol in front of anybody’s username in your SMS and it becomes automagically accessible to them. Parallel to that has been my increased use of #hashtags, a sort of nouveau souped-up method of tracking keywords across many platforms is how I understand it (my understanding may be technically incomplete, however). The big one I’ve been using on my site is #mandalaOS, which makes the keyword cluster into an entity which can be picked up and reused by any author. I like it as a method of intent markup because it allows a sort of universal authorship to arise, a transmodal communication around highly specific and interesting subjects.

On top of that, I’ve been tracking a few choice keyword clouds via Google Alerts mailed to me once a day. I actually just had a dream that a similar link digest I received in a dream contained a mention of “Mandala OS” on a Tribe.net account, complete with snarky comments and petty personal attacks. Dreamworld aside, it occurs to me that Google Alerts is an excellent tool for directly communicating with people. If you type in “Tim Boucher” for example, you have a fair bet of getting a link directly sent to my inbox with a link to your comment attached.

Then you have things like follow me phones which route calls through intermediaries to your phone. In the scifi classic, Neuromancer, there’s a cool scene where the AI named Wintermute is trying to contact the main character, and rings consecutively a bank of pay phones as the character walks by. Then there’s the part in Twin Peaks where Maj. Briggs relays the space message about owls to Agent Cooper. Many channels, many frequencies. The ability to shift across them effortlessly…

I feel like this technology is not so far off in our reality, the ability to instantaneously have two-way communication with any individual, corporate, or other type of entity we have yet to understand and encounter. May as well add this sort of “bat signal” technology to our list for OmnivateLLC and the Mandala OS. All users: be prepared to start receiving incomprehensible symbolic/synchronistic events until we get the glitches in the technology sorted out!
