Plus a related interview (/Groove plug) with Ray Ozzie. AttentionRendezvous is a flocking behavior. We started with a (highly granular) notification feature. The side effect is that when you follow up on an alert, you find that six other smart people of the 15 in that space made the same selfish decision, and suddenly we're all together. You're essentially meshing more activities into your life, in a way that's more socially acceptable to you... Whenever we have third parties in presenting to us, customers or another vendor, a bunch of them and a bunch of us, (Groove folks) are online with one another in a shared space, and we are connecting each other's minds, asking each other questions, formulating how we should ask the person presenting to us.
