Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetGreat. I'll be following...
Talk to you soon.
Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetNo problem, thanks for taking some time to think and write about stockwits. Easiest way to reach me is on twitter, link is in the header :)
Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetThanks for posting this link Soren. I'd love to chat about how you got this going. Great work.
Let me know if you could chat in the evening sometime.Cheers.

Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetSince I cannot verify the source, I have removed the list.
As for your claim of Moron - "forsight" is spelled foresight. "than wow" should be "then wow". Additionally, just because CNN says something is or isn't true doesn't give it anymore weight in my mind than information that my be found on the Internet (which should be capitalized by the way). I depend on source documents, as stated above.
Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetPoor poor sheeple. "But I read it on the internet, the internet would never lie to me". DEBUNKED, even Debunked on CNN. If CNN is saying that something about Sarah Palin isn't true, than wow. 1996 huh, so Sarah wanted to ban books i.e. Harry Potter, before they were even published. Well that takes some serious forsight. Moron, don't believe everything you read.
Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetSoren, by the way, here's a write-up about Sarah Palin that was sent to me that I put online. I believe it is valid because the author (a Wasilla, Alaska citizen) gives multiple ways to do that.
Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetThanks for the update and pointing to the post. Would love to see that list myself.
Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetI can't find the original source, so I have edited my original post to reflect that.
Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetThat list makes me feel emotional. "A Wrinkle In Time," "The Color Purple," "To Kill a Mockingbird." These books are me.
Soren, what's the source for this list? . . . supposedly the minutes from the library itself. But where are you pulling it from - independent media?
Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetI actually put fingers to keyboard a couple years ago about how to make a non-centralized stream of profile data, that unlike openID was all back-end driven. However, ultimately, suits think that data is the value, not the interactions users have/make.
I think at this stage the conversations are more accessible -- how can I replicate, monitor, measure and enhance conversations and public discussion -- that to me is something I can wrap my mind (and fingers+keyboard) around!

Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetHey, Soren MacBeth, have you seen these things?

Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetYou may get value out of users via interactions and engagement, but not revenue. Revenue and revenue sharing would be the key to get applications like Facebook or others to push their social data to a third party. This third party would have to crack the data mining/revenue generation problem and crack it better than anyone else in order to make it worthwhile for your Facebook's to WANT to buy in.
Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetI completely agree with you on the needs for housing the data, but my opinion differs that I think an open source cloud-based system is the only way to actually achieve the top-notch security, scalability and dependability you'd need, and it has an added bonus of privacy.
It isn't that important, though. For the sake of this we can consider how the data is stored and encrypted as a black box.
The real difference comes from the fact that with my proposal nobody could do data mining to extract the value from the data as a whole. This separates me from most of the people who feel that aggregate data is the way to monetize social networks. My feeling is that there would be enough value with lowering the barrier for people to connect their existing social network to developer's apps that they can accrue and get value out of users via interactions and engagement rather than data acquisition and mining.
Regardless of what approach would be taken -- closed or open --, it would be next to impossible for such a service to start up and accrue users. While once constructed it could easily help application developers with their own chicken-egg problems, it has that problem on its own, and I don't think any of the companies that already have their chickens (Facebook, MySpace) are going to go in this direction; they don't need it.
Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetHi Bryce,
Scalability would definitely be a benefit to application developers (ahem, Twitter). The trick in all this is users and application developer adoption. For that reason, I don't think the open source in the cloud thing would be the best option. Whomever is housing all your social data needs to have top notch security, scalability, and dependability. All of these things require significant capital investment.
This is where the second key to the future I envision comes in. Leveraging data to generate revenue via data mining or other techniques to extract value from data. Let's sweep the hard problem of doing that under the rug for a minute and assume that someone figures that out. It's now possible to offer revenue sharing to application developers who house their data in the centralized location. The more social data the application developers bring, the larger their slice of the revenue pie. This could prove to be a very very effective means of getting the ground swell of support needed to become "the one" social data warehouse.
Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetThis is a problem I've also put some thought to.
What I'd love to see (and would enjoy building if I had the time) would be some sort of open source cloud solution to solve the social data problem.
In this model, no corporation owns the data, it is all stored encrypted, distributed around user's computers all over the world.
For example, when you go to Etsy, Twitter, McDonalds, your local dry cleaner's site, wherever, you can log in with your social profile there and still maintain control over what information you expose, or what friends of yours you want to invite to use the same landing spot. This would put all data access in the explicit control of the user and allow everything to be opt-in.
I believe the reality is that for any of these services to become mainstream and ubiquitous the creating corporation must let go and turn the service into a protocol.
The most apparent current example of this is Twitter-- they have created something beyond their ability to control or even maintain. While they have made a slight step in this direction with their API, their framework is still a bottleneck to the degree they have to throttle their API into uselessness to stay alive. As the current market leader, if they moved toward making a twitter protocol (think email or XMPP) they could tap into the common interests of their competitors and all could benefit.
If they don't, they could very well be crushed by their own success and be locked out of the game when everyone leaves to go to their competitors. Sharing some of the users now may help them remain in the game long enough for the big win: mainstream use.
