THE BIOPHYSICAL HOOK OF SOFT POWER-BASED SOCIAL NETWORKING<\/b><\/p>\n
Critt Jarvis<\/strong> today had a profound post<\/a> on the latest iteration of his start-up company, Conversationbase, LLC<\/strong><\/a>. that has, I strongly suspect, a general psychological validity:<\/p>\n “D\u2019oh! It\u2019s the network, stupid! <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n September 20th, 2006 by Critt Jarvis Wikipedia: Compare and contrast content network with social network.<\/p>\n Okay, the first clue is that the term \u201ccontent network\u201d doesn\u2019t merit its own page on Wikipedia. But I read the entry for Content Delivery Network.<\/p>\n Content Delivery Network: a system of computers networked together across the Internet that cooperate transparently to deliver content (especially large media content) to end users.<\/p>\n Social network: A social network is a social structure made of nodes which are generally individuals or organizations.<\/p>\n What\u2019s this mean to me ? A content delivery network wants the bits delivered, end to end; while a social network wants information delivered, end to end. Thus Conversation Base is in the business of enabling social networks, which organize around content.<\/p>\n Now I have to think about replacing \u201cContent\u201d with \u201cSocial\u201d in my outline titles.” <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n This is a very powerful combination in terms of brain physiology to link conceptual intellectual stimulation with adaptive social behaviors ( throw in audiovisual stimulus and you have a cognitive trifecta. Turbocharged “infocrack”…Myspace for MENSA…you get the idea). As a business model, you have a network that could possibly encourage emergent communities within or across disciplines.<\/p>\n
Hmmm\u2026 Conversation Base\u2026 what am I trying to do here\u2026 content or social\u2026<\/p>\n
