Re: Friday, March 30, 2007
Scenarios involving the sharing of bookmarks, and lists of posts read may be a juicy low hanging fruit. The recording of attention (attentionbank?) can be very valuable, if the structure is in place to discourage spamming at the root level. I imagine a scenario like this: read a blog post rate it data gets formatted, signed, etc... then uploaded to a public database The basic problem as I see it is to figure out how to lock down the object being spoken about (perhaps an escrow/cache/md5 server?) so that everyone knows they are speaking on the same subject, without modification. This should generate a unique ID that could then be used to find matches of other metadata about the same object. Once you can make assertions about an object, you can sign them, and share them. The next big leap is to then rate other people's ratings. This then (finally) allows one to flag someone as a spammer, or rude, or funny, or insightful, or as someone who's probably had their identity stolen. This information could then be used to immediately update relevant records... kind of like key revocation - Added 11:03AM The computation required to traverse all the trees in a database (or web thereof) will make it slow... but far richer than that of our Text Box Overlord Hoping that all makes sense, and contributes something useful, --Mike--
