15:34:14 hhalpin: go for it 15:34:42 ... need a compelling user story, more compelling definition of the social web, and that you can roll your own is an important angle 15:34:59 macted: inclined to say, this makes it possible for new ones to start, without having to reinvent 15:35:06 ... e.g. everyone runs email 15:35:11 ... how many run their own server? 15:35:28 ... open, distributed, how many people do it ... i think you'll find the same with soc net stuff 15:36:18 bblfish: with email you send everyone an email, with phones you call anyone, with the web you can link to anyone, but with an SNS you cant, why cant it be the same? 15:37:30 .. when you're on one social network, you cant just link to someone else so that you just link to someone else, email is designed so everyone can have their own server 15:38:13 mischat: can imagine if GNU social was more mature, accounts would come with an email server, or social network server 15:38:25 macted: want to have control over the services 15:38:42 mischat: i can imagine isps doing this, and handing it out as an extra service 15:39:02 bblfish: people working for universities will want that profile 15:39:23 just lurking today sorry, but from #social-p2p, 15:39:25 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15865/diaspora_pres.pdf 15:39:36 update on diaspora's progress with ostatus 15:39:41 ... need to say the paragraph in such a way as to make people think they can become part of a bigger thing 15:40:15 hhalpin: im hearing 3 different paragraphs ... need to go through the stub list 15:40:35 ... 1. intro (inc. definition of social web + henry's ideas) 15:40:43 -AlexPassant 15:40:47 ... maybe with mischa too 15:41:04 bblfish: may need to cut it down 15:41:41 ACTION: bblfish and mtuffield to write a new introductory paragraph with definition of social web and case for open-source/business use of standards 15:41:41 Created ACTION-161 - And mtuffield to write a new introductory paragraph with definition of social web and case for open-source/business use of standards [on Henry Story - due 2010-08-25]. 15:42:01 tthibodeau 15:42:05 +??P4 15:42:07 Zakim, ??P4 is me 15:42:07 +AlexPassant; got it 15:42:13 ... 2. paragraph user story saying, ' i cant connect to peoples profiles ' ... export data etc. 15:42:22 ... aslo in the introduction 15:42:23 ACTION: thibodeau to add to intro a "user story" of why current approaches don't work. 15:42:23 Created ACTION-162 - Add to intro a "user story" of why current approaches don't work.
