Re: Fresh Voices
Digg essentially uses an aggregate of members bookmarks to build a new feed. Like Doc's drinking from a firehose, it helps build a new, more interesting stream, out of the aggregate. What I'm thinking is to build an infrastructure that helps capture a new data point. Instead of getting lists of things people want to possibly visit again (which is what bookmarks are), why not allow capture of the impression of a page right after it's been read. The existing Tagging model of Technorati only allows the author to decide where something belongs. In my relations with Doc, I've othen had him pick up on something I didn't quite see when I was writing, because he's got other things going on in his head, and different threads to connect to the text. These new connections can't be captured from the author of a piece, because they aren't there. These new connections only happen in the mind of the reader... if we give them tools to actively add value to existing stuff (aka Content)... we get new connections, and more efficient use of all of our creative efforts. If we keep Identity tied to the reader, a new type of reputation can be built. It'll also give us a means to watch the watchman, if you will, and help cut down on abuse. (For example, Senate staff marking other Senators stuff as boring, untrue, etc...) I want the fresh voices to have identity. It doesn't have to be tied to a person, just an ID somewhere the person can control. Anonymous systems give an opening to spam, and that needs to be killed. In summary: The payback can come in many forms
Does that all make sense, and did I answer the question adequately? --Mike--
