ideas

• objects are a basis for social interaction/connection

  • is this because they give some shared ConText?

    • the objects that do this most effectively could be called [Social Marker]-s

  • or just because they give us something to talk about?

• Virtual Community or other WebSite-s are more successful when anchored by a Social Object

• maybe new Business Models For Information have to monetize the social part instead of the content part..

Sharing is the DNA. We use Social Objects to share ourselves with other people. We're primates. we like to groom each other. It's in our nature.
