Memory Maps and Keyhole
I'm SO supposed to be cleaning and I'm stealing time here while B naps because I HAVE to mention a bit about memory maps! Ok, so Google bought Keyhole which is major. And now we've got an 'annotated memory map' trend starting up. This may seem like just a neat novelty...but I believe we're witnessing the sweet tender green buds of what is to be a massive collaborative reorganization of humanity's information within navigable immersive webspaces. So exciting. a big step in our evolution really.
As the tools and images become more and more commonplace, we will all be able to integrate a more detailed topsight vision into our daily lives. This grants us a better understanding of our place in the world and the systems/larger organism that we are all a part of..we may be more inclined to participate in shaping and sustaining our communities, especially when given the most intuitive of tools. hmmmm
And that's to say nothing of the gradual creation of an interconnected memory palace/ experiential collective memory.:)
(See, and they thought you'd have blown up the planet by now. I knew ya'll had potential. Well, we'll see. Go Earthians, you can do it!)
More memory maps.

Have you read "Smart Mobs?" I've only read reviews, but it looks kind of interesting because it relates to the new organization of people using technology as the primary organizational tool.
It really is fascinating what tools we'll be using to organize and aggregate data, how the aggregation tools are becoming easy to personalize to a tremendous extent.
It certainly seems that we're witnessing a fundamental change in how we form and sustain identity - it's easier and easier to immerse ourselves in highly tailored virtual environments.

No I haven't read 'Smart Mobs', though I've read similar and Love the genre of network science.
I may end up reading it, but most of these seem to overlap a lot. Then again I can't quite get enough of the stuff so why not read another.hehe.

Have you ever seen the website The Atlas of Cyberspace (http://www.cybergeography.org/atlas/atlas.html)? Love that. There's a book too! Er, I'm gushing aren't I...;)
