Yeah, wanted to comment that earlier, I think it will reach that point.

Re: Nothing is Insignificant, Especially on My Birthday

"There might be something you want to do that you are afraid to do cause you are thinking if this is the best time do it, what will other think, and/or if you’ll fail. It shouldn’t matter. Do it! Nothing in this life is insignificant. Everything you do will affect one or more people. It will mean something to them."

Words of wisdom for your birthday, thanks for bringing those around to give me energy, motivation. *trumpets begin slowly, followed by violins* Haaaaa.. ppy bir... day. To... you! Enjoy!

Re: Information Streams Accelerating the Attention Crisis

Elijah Bailey (zu) — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 20:26:49 -0000

The more following, the more followers, the more they need, the more I need. But when the content isn't 100% signal, you tend to go faster on them, an accelerating pace which is non-existent on the first social days of a new username/vanity URL where every post counts. This creates the post TMI-era, where ignoring while interested begins.

Facebook shows me that my IRL environment (French speaking/Low tech capabilities) will prefer to have a feed of 10s of people instead of hundreds of "likes" subscriptions. They will prefer the emptiness of the non-poster for that reason (like I am recently after some tests) until they do proceed to a 'friendship' cleanup, removing those users that dared to modify their flow of information as soon as they hit the wrong button.

That emotional reaction, I think, helps them battle the problem, as even the relevant data is ignored, or the effort to discover the posts is envisioned as too high a demand so it's easily discarded. In my case, I cry over too much interesting things to read that I miss, but I'm also less active than in previous years so the habits I've grown to are transformed and I have to react creatively in this interesting part of my web use as time is missing for filtering. Spread subs around social networks could leverage (use one service for "those" interests and people, the other for that specific content). I wish that some humans would be more in acceptance, but they surprisingly are not that much into it, so it's less present/important/relevant to them to even start touching the topic and investigate the best position for their SNR.

Re: Why Google won’t give Twitter or Facebook a buzz cut tomorrow

What will it be is interesting following what I just saw as an answer by Robert. If it isn't Wave, then it links to another service option... if they took the 'FriendFeed' killing perspective, it should have that as a target. So what will be around aggregated real-time search based on usage and favoritism mechanisms? (Feedly hehe?)

Re: Google To Add Sidebar to Search Results

Elijah Bailey (zu) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 05:55:28 -0000

Very good idea, as long as we keep all current search features packed as it was with the usual option of having it or not, they'll proceed with ease to permanent use.

Re: The Chrome OS Release Is Not About Now, It's About Next.

Elijah Bailey (zu) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:56:35 -0000

Absolutely! I want it, I want more, I want a netbook to be on it all the time, and free my PC from all those apps. It can be frustrating having to switch between all tabs, loading memory with no absolute reason, leaving stuff pending.

Have it crash, restore 30+ tabs? History, ah, leave it.. Physical stuff needs me, I need physical stuff, got loads of burned DVDs, wish to keep them as memorabilia.

The cloud can't have that feel but: "Data could come from anywhere with the web, always" like logging after those 4 seconds, it's even almost tempting to use it as a side app on my PC, my little Googly-you 'stuck resolution' window. Come and see papa, login again, oh, tab was already loaded. Oh yeah, that document. Gets to make a lot more use of a browser stuck in it.

And what about the settings, I was sad seeing the lack of the terminal option I saw on some comment (Ctrl+Alt+T) and the panels as announced. At least I could've digged, as I did on the partition with no real specific task, but I'll continue to play, and I'll go around things, and try out, making feedback heard. The non-techie mom and dad that never touched a computer in their whole life (born in 45 and 57) will instantly go on it under 1,000 questions with my suggestions of services, that they could use easily from how the app menu's made.

And if portable on portable, usable from anywhere, poppin' in USB devices, iPod as boot partition anywhere? For the Google services user, this is again a must. I'll never deliver all data off my magnetic discs, but some part of it: absolutely, as with email let's say, can't be that crazy in having my emails with me physically archived constantly. Sorry for that reply beginning to be like an expose, but your mum situation made the iteration as a 'wave' would hit on. Just had to help my brother understand User Migration, pretty cool, but he still wasn't understanding it, and having his weekend fried, and to reg back, to get back, to work at, stuff he does locally. Out of breathe, thanks for the release, of those words... <0,

TAT Augmented ID's cool as hell, I knew how fast these would appear in the mindshare space. Good to know it's now around to play with, to some interesting development vantage points.

Elijah Bailey (zu) — Mon, 18 May 2009 03:55:53 -0000

Wow, excellent read. It seems obvious to imagine that system being, and it's obviously those who care about the details right up front that are those who shape its mainstreaming adopting effectiveness and vision.

I was enlightened by the reference to which you way that the twitter backlash is made by the early adopters community. It would also be logical to assume it as the shiny object is always theoretically external to us, but attainable in seconds as in months.

Reviewing, turning around the subject, tracking and announcing loud and clear for referencing, clouding the situation making those services react by sharp decisions, deciding on a change without the public knowing it was a situation tracked in the first place. Sometimes it's in its internal policies, sometimes it's in functionality.

All of these steps create the mechanics behind their developments and later success. And those who listened to the underlying unknowns gets even more recognition. Thanks again for those words of wisdom. ;p

Re: Jump Into The Stream

Elijah Bailey (zu) — Sun, 17 May 2009 17:41:12 -0000

I agree. Total control, and not only that, but when the information will be processed so fast it'll be viewed in a global way, like what you did and all the relations you concluded from it will be palpable over what you're actually doing, it'll be a great helper in information management. And RSS + us will construct our definition of our knowled
ge, in the way that we prefer, as minimal or exponential.

The mind could also prefer having a suggesting "lock", showing the considerations of skipping into information overload, where you would be not able to define your own limits in the information received in your cloud data and mindset. All of those services will evolve to that point, so more time means more looking in the past, more user attention, more to get to again. Referencing is important, knowingly constructing and remembering with 'backed up' traces.

Looking at the news timeline and was impressed by the level of openings it showed me in that particular design. I was able to get to a murder on my date of birth in the newspaper of the day, with indexed scanned OCR pages in a split second, without me knowing I'd get to it, and by my interaction giving it value.

If I share, we loop it in the 'now', always accessible now, from the user having the time to get back. We tend to be faster in information processing than ever because of that I think. Data now is created, but also fortified from inside out everywhere.

Interesting... I'm wondering, since I know alot of blogs have been hijacked over the years, with pages filled of keywords, parsed into the original 'blog': A entire system of JS weapons of mass destruction. Maybe giving out subscriptions from 'articles' to this dementia system was the first step towards this captcha moment. (Try do so some searches on Google with [intitle:"Index of /" blog] to find the most notorious of those pages... don't forget to have a JS blocker a-la NoSript for Firefox to be able to witness them without been hijacked.)

Re: Google Tweaking Its Search Results Pages

Elijah Bailey (zu) — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 11:56:27 -0000

I love them. The SearchWiki feature was already extremely appreciated in my case, and each and every feature that can cover more details about the said searches is key for me. Good job for that latest idea, hope they keep faith in the 'timeline' and 'info' search designs to develop some of these in the future.

Re: Why I haven’t posted for two weeks

Elijah Bailey (zu) — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 17:07:37 -0000

I've been impressed by what you did, even if I known so little that recently (since August). I've seen how you were able to keep faith in every little detail and adventure you chose to participate in.

Yesterday, I actually thought of you and wondered about the guy interviewing that lady taking pictures of landmarks between her legs. Who took time to visit that much companies. That went to great heights and battled with the biggest heads in this digital world.

And then you posted... anyways, a little tribute, and the best of lucks.

Re: New Facebook: Twitter + FriendFeed + 175 million users

Elijah Bailey (zu) — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 16:51:41 -0000

Great features, but unfortunately following what has been working in other faster services. Maybe they should have some kind of a 'playground' to see how people react to it instead of forcing some of those UI choices, but then, will people try it out? Why not do it as Google does by enabling the user to have more and more options depending on its interest in that part of the service? That would be great for Facebook as they indeed changed ideas following what the users were bragging about.

Great news for the feature-needy individual though ;p

I think it's more about the browser's chrome, as told by an excellent book on JavaScript by O'Reilly : "The area where scrollbars, toolbars, the status bar, and (non-Macintosh) menu bar live is known as a window’s chrome."

Re: Obama’s Website: Malware is coming to America

Elijah Bailey (zu) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 21:42:51 -0000

How special it is to take a president's supporters (not technically knowledgeable) and bring 'em hell? It is very special under those circumstances, as it surely shows that "distributors" are planning their moves with sweet feet. As fast the system can be, it surely would never change from redirecting and acting afterwards, unless the user executes the code 'unknowingly' by running it themselves. Some targets change, other methods don't. ;p

Wow! I really love Google Notebook, and since I've made my discovery with running Firefox and Google Gears, bundled with that neat add-on... at least they kept the data. Thanks to the G for those kind digital thoughts.
