Something I've been wondering about:
I've been thinking that people aren't just interested in raw information and data, that what people really want is the meta-data, the information that sets the context for the specific piece of information. People really want to know the connections - they really want an information-rich environment/ecology. The digital personal information ecology (d-PIE) is for everyone! I am thinking of going beyond aggregators, bookmarks and bookmarklets, tags, and such. I am conceiving, i think, of a new way of looking at things, of experiences, and of course, information. I still love photosynth - and there is something emergent in the way it arranges the photos beyond the panoramic it produces, that is viscerally different from videos. Photosynth allows people to immerse themselves in the environment - likewise, with the d-PIE, i want people to be able to immerse themselves in the digital environment they have built for themselves, just as Photosynth creates a representation...
The final product I am conceiving of is something that will change the way people think. To think in terms of ideas and the connectivity between ideas, something that is dynamic and ever-changing, unlike the static conceptions of ideas that we currently have and hold in our own minds.
Of course, I can't write this software, not now, unfortunately. Technorati Tags: ecology ideas, information,
