liveblogging by LizHenry
Eris:
talk about women in technololgy. don't want to talk about how there aren't enough etc. plan is to create a project physical or digital, by women for women built on strengths. brainstorm ideas. whatt you as a woman would like to see on the internet as social network, etc. to make your life easier. diversity here to create a rough idea of that and present it to the rest of the camp tomorrow.
ideas?
Erica: last night talking about nobody's ... how does rss really work? i'm an rss idiot despite having wordpress blog. i want something that i can put everyone's blog on it and i can have something i pull up , a sidebar in my firefox that shows , Eris made a new post today and here's a little exceprt. and i dont have any way... i have 30 blogs i read on a regular basis. chronological with headline and a couple of sentences.
eris; is this something you'd be willing to download an app for.
liz: kinja
strata: feedburger. pubsub. can combine into safari folder with a slider. it works in safari now with tiger.
liz: !!!!!!!!! coolio!
deirdre: wiki has rss feed.
erica: our wiki has rss feed
strata: mentioned bloglines, i use mac, there's no synchronization....
deirdre: home vs. work
MJ: tagging. flickr's interestingness component. delicious posts or ... the other blogs I read in terms of what is considered interesting. Ranking, favorite it, forward it.... trackback and tags. within social framework, you can ssee how many other people thought it was interesting.
deierdre: dick size problem. every time someone links to you your dick gets bigger. it's based on personal fame. it's different within your social group.
strata: a framework that's buildable. what about a community where you ahve access to information 2 ways 1 is you could rank specific tags as important. 2 is that you could trust other people's rankings of specific tags. So and x and y axis. so i trust deirdre's opition about xml, but not about gardening.
MJ: ...
strata:;..... The cats tag is interesting to me, i put it at level 8. then i trust friends community, friends of friends... but you're treating the tags like pseudo people.
liz: or you're treating the peopel like pseudo tags.
strata: ping and his vote tags and adjust the sliders.... what is important to your friends?
deirdre: python script it takes your dleicious tags and make sone big page of tag cloud of your tags.
strata: a thing i want to do with that... tag tank, a fishtank... swimming around...
dude: it could be a feature in flock.
mj and dierdre: xfm xml friends... set of attributes you rank people by... your relationship = friend, crush, muse, neighbor, family...
strata: can you have more than one relationhship with a person
mj:
eris : using that as the backend...
strata: is xfm a tagging system?
ping: it's a standard.
ideas for applications
social framework
community with two areas of information.
rank tags
trust others tags
in your personal social framework
rank tags by your friends
rank tags by your relevence
ranks tags by geography
what other attributes?
all encompassing global tags
integrating XFN
what about microformats?
opt-in
make my rating public/private
dns tag
tagspace
you could broadcast your own tagcloud
broadcast local tags in a network
leverage someone's attention, build a general framework and this is the zone in which i trust it
treo 650
a lot of potentil int he mooblie space for tagging opt-in. if you want to send/recieve
blending the online and offline world with tagging and mobile devices
why are we still wearing paper nametags?
moto - proximity paging
real-world tech idea: social calendaring based on geography with the bluetooth and tagging based on relevance
send via an sms broadcast
inthe future there's going to be a real-world meatspace overlayed on a virtual world instead of the opposite
traffic, news, etc..
followup:
We're going to create a women's open source community and we've got a great idea for our first project.
the website has already been registerd (thanks Stata) and we'll get further updates on that.
the project in mind comes from a desire to connect all of the rich interaction that we've become used to inthe online world and transferring that offline into the real world.
The question came up from Erica that pretty much sums up our thought process:
Why, in this day and age, are we still using paper nametags?
Point being, with all the ways we've been able to connect with each other online and all of the great things that technology has spawed, why has that not been transfered over to its offline counterpart?
Our goal is to create a device-independant application, mostly for mobile phones, that will ping you on a plethera of variables depending on your location and interests and the people in your area.
