I think about the way these environments might build in a hierarchical fashion. Smaller communities supporting larger meta-conversations. An aside example - massive museums are hard to handle in many ways, we wouldn't want all the art in one "room" - but if we liked Monet at the Art Institute in Chicago we might want to quickly be able to see what's in NY, in Paris, and to chat, if we're there alone, with others in other places discussing Monet. And then we might want to leave our conversations out there so others, who can't get to the museums, can join in later. We need not overwhelm to take advantage of these things - but we need to thing seriously about this as we build these online communities.<BR/><BR/>- Ira Socolirasocolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01412837280249622430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19457872.post-59820678194424020922008-11-05T12:41:00.000-05:002008-11-05T12:41:00.000-05:00Wow.

If everyone were on Twitter, there would be more noise for that reporter to break through. I think it's important for us to continue to build tools that connect micro-communities defined in many ways (not just by who has access to what technology) so that people can really be "heard" by those who care. This isn't about mass populism but about a diverse set of newly-connected communities.Nina Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723930679606298550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19457872.post-17662440872013103142008-11-05T11:17:00.000-05:002008-11-05T11:17:00.000-05:00your famous again....your famous again....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
