Re: Sync St Team Conversations: When Philosophy and Programing Collide.

Sara, such great insight. We just had a developers meeting today where we discussed this. It's this whole question of how strictly do you define you 'neighbors'. In one place it could just be your street, in another you building, in another multiple steets . . . the combinations are endless. I think what were going to initially do is make flexible enough so that it works in all these situations, essentially making the groups more user defined. I have a feeling that the driving force behind using the platform will be the 'block' captain we talked about in a previous post. If that is the case then Sync St really wants to facilitate them as much as possible. I don't know if there is an right answer when it come to defining neighborhoods but if we do it right the user will ultimately show us.

I just realized that Randy and I are both describing a Center Set, but where we disagree is on the definition of the center. What is the center of Sync St, a tool for neighbors who care? The Individual? The Block/Street/Building?

Sorry Josh, I guess you didn't get the memo. When Softball lost it's Olympic event status it was also disqualified from all other world record categories, including Guinness. Right now it's a toss up between Dodge Ball and Bocce Ball for next year. I'll make sure to announce it right here when we decide, so stay tuned ;-)
