A great “post” by Sam and Stowe
by Eric Norlin on May.05, 2008, under defrag "theory"
Okay, its not really one post - but Sam Lawrence started something interesting this morning with this blog post:
“The new inbox needs to be a goldpan…It should not only cut the rapids back to a quality stream but help me channel my attention so it’s applied where it counts. It understands and shares which people and topics I’m most connected to. It pools conversations of interest and conversations that need action. Perhaps it even routes streams where I’m blocking. Ultimately, my new inbox needs to turn the perfect storm into a bubbling brook. “
And Stowe is following it up:
“I think that an open model of communication could be applied in other contexts, ones that are significantly more constrained than the global model that Twitter and other open social applications have leveraged. Clearly defined groups — like those explicitly working on a project together — will share access to project-related streams of information, but less clearly defined ‘groupings’ — all those Workstreamer users interested in Ajax or User Experience Design, for example — will share streams of information made public by others in the community of Workstreamer users.”
