avadthinking...about the search through something like LJ for a 'friend'- how would you visualize that process of random or linked reading of messages that are sent out to no 'One' destination but are there to look through....until you find someone's thoughts that intrigue you or connect with something in you enough to interact...
I picture looking down on the Earth at all these points and being able to listen in at random to 'thought broadcasts', one by chosen one, looking, searching...checking in on some friends and family, making sure everyone's ok...then looking on, listening in, swimming about...offering a bit of comfort if you come across someone in pain or particularly lonely, looking, learning about life from all different perspectives as you go, looking...:)
The colors could also indicate mood, tone, emotional state. If you wanted to find someone who was in a certain state of mind at the right time...You would SEE anger,loneliness, peace, confusion, in all the variety of shades of emotion blinking like city lights below...Here is someone who is ready to take a chance with life...someone whose heart just opened up...and they want to be of service to the world...see the color of that? Now go on down and listen in...

Re: Friend Network
Date: 2003-06-04 02:54 pm (UTC)I dream/fantasize of clickable maps of LJ....even just to get a general idea of where most of the users are geographically located....and contrast that with the 'communities' that are formed in cyberspace...*sigh* etc etc...I want VISUALS!!!! HELP SENDAO!!!;0;)
There's something called GuestMap that is well, a start...but the visitors to a site must enter in their own info. http://www.24fun.com/cgi-bin/gmapview.pl
