WHAT'S WRONG
WITH FIRST-GENERATION SOCIAL
SOFTWARE
WHAT'S WRONG
WITH FIRST-GENERATION SOCIAL
SOFTWARE
02/10/2004 02:48 AM
I've written recently about the
future state of business, a world incorporating powerful, versatile
social networking tools. And I've played with most of the
first-generation social software and read volumes about how it will,
or
won't, work in business and ultimately affect our daily lives.
The concept is wonderful, and the technology is fun, but the tools
developed so far suffer from three fatal flaws:
- They're built with a pre-designed, set content
architecture, and centrally-stored content, instead of harvesting
content that individual users already have stored, in different ways
of
their own choosing, on their own machines.
- They're being populated just-in-case, with all kinds
of
content that people with lots of time on their hands see fit to
contribute, and no content from the very busy or technologically
illiterate, rather than just-in-time, with content being accumulated
only if and when there's a demand and need for it.
- They're badly over-engineered, ranging in complexity
from
challenging to intimidating, so they take a lot of time, energy and
intelligence to understand and use properly, and hence drive most
potential users away.
In this month's Darwin
Magazine,
social networking guru Stowe Boyd also laments the growing pains of
many of the first-generation tools, and the absurdly high and
premature
expectations that people have of them. "My bet is that social
networking services will resist standardization until they see the
benefits of converging all sorts of private and public network
information, and realize that no one company can create and manage all
of it", he says. The heterogeneity of both content and context is
producing specialized social tools that are excellent for certain
focused purposes, but useless for others, and an aggregation of
content
-- filled-in forms, esoteric discussion threads and context-free
'knowledge objects' -- that is cumbersome and largely unreusable.
In an earlier post I stressed the importance of allowing each
individual to maintain and organize their own content and their own
networks their own way. At that time I
said: "When you force people to adapt their
mental models to a standard model (inevitably a complex one to
accommodate a variety of specifications), a
standard model that is dictated by the technology and its designers,
you will
get no usage, or at best reluctant, inefficient usage."
If I were start all over again, to design the second
generation of social software, it would be transparent to the user,
wouldn't require any submissions, wouldn't keep any content in any
central location, and would be so simple to use that even people without computers would use
it.
 That
may sound like a tall order, but it really isn't. It would be like
building a house. Let's start with content, the foundation of the
house. Rather than getting people to submit stuff, we need to help
people to organize the personal information they already have, and
then
harvest it automatically. When I talk to people in the front lines of
just about every business, from proprietorships to large companies,
they confess their filing cabinets, the document folders on their hard
drives, rolodexes and other personal collections of information are
chaotic and impossible to find things in. They also say no one ever
taught them how to organize these personal repositories so that
content
could be found easily. Everyone just assumed that the skill to do this
comes naturally. So first order of business is personal content management. No
rules, no standards. Just some simple
tools that allow people to organize all the information and documents
they have into some order so it can be readily found again when
needed.
Let a whole bunch of PCM tools loose on the market, and let them
evolve
as people learn what they need and what they don't and what
organization makes sense to them as
individuals. Weblogs would be a good source of ideas for the
design of PCM tools, since essentially that's what blogs are.
The next floor of the house is the metadata. Software developers would
work with the users of individuals' content other
than the individual him/herself to ascertain how they might want to
use
the individual's newly-ordered content, and develop tools to harvest
the relevant metadata to do that. This second layer of tools
essentially reorganizes the individual's content, transparently, in
ways that make it more useful to the individual's networks -- actual
and potential friends, associates, customers, suppliers etc. These
tools would spider the content and essentially 'fill in the forms'
that
those in each of the individual's networks might need to access the
individual's information in the format they want it in. The PCM tools
would allow people to specify which content could be seen and accessed
by others with the appropriate 'permissions', and the metadata tools
would repect these permissions. These metadata tools
would be invisible to the individual user, and would work
automatically
in the background as the individual added, deleted, and changed the
content using the PCM tools.
Still with me? Now comes the pièce de résistance. The third level of
the house is the networking and
connectivity tools,
the ones that, analogous to the telephone switch, actually enable the
identification of relationships, the making of connections, the
transfer of information, and ultimately even collaboration and other
more dynamic interactive applications of connectivity -- transactions.
These applications harvest and mine the metadata, and have no
content of their own. They operate on a just-in-time basis. These
tools
might include an Expertise Finder, a Connector, a Super Address Book,
a
Network Builder, a Publisher, and a Subscriber.
So for example, if I'm researching solar power for my new house, or
looking for people to work with me on a Meeting of Minds business
assignment, I could use the Expertise Finder tool to identify who I
could and should talk to, what information each of those experts has
in
their personal content that is permissioned for me to look at,
multiple
contact information for each of those experts, and the cost, if any,
of
contacting the expert and/or accessing their personal content. A
Connector tool would then enable one-click connection to the selected
expert(s) regardless of medium selected -- telephony, instant or
asynchronous messaging, Simple
Virtual Presence,
etc. The Connector tool, just like a telephone switch, would connect
people within an organization, or between organizations, or between an
individual and someone in an organization -- it wouldn't matter. So if
I work for a bank and I need to find an expert in financial
derivatives, it would work exactly as my personal solar power search
did. I could then choose between 'found experts' within the bank and
those outside. If I want to contact my father in Winnipeg, or the
group
I play poker with on Friday nights, I would use the Super Address Book
instead of the Expertise Finder before using the Connector tool, but
the process would be analogous and as simple and intuitive as looking
in a rolodex or phone book. And if I wanted to build a new network of
people interested in discussing New Collaborative Enterprises, or
whether Kerry should pick Kucinich as a running mate, I might use the
Network Builder tool, which would function exactly like the Expertise
Finder except it would identify people with particular interests rather than particular
expertise.
Finally, I could use the Publisher tool to 'push' selected content out
instead of waiting for people to come and get it, and a Subscriber
tool, based on RSS, that puts out a 'standing order' to pull in and
aggregate others' content that meets my specified criteria.
Just-in-time. Dead simple.
Built on information I maintain, control and organize my way. Personal versus business
information, internal or external, doesn't matter. A utility. An appliance.
You could even build additional commercial and transaction tools on
top
of this. Buy a 'smart' fridge/freezer that takes inventory of what you
have, 'permission' it to feed your PCM tool, and your grocery supplier
can automatically compute, fill and deliver your order with no
intervention by you at all.
There are some important lessons to learn from the success and failure
of previous technologies. A combination of simplicity-of-use,
personalizability and adaptability has made tools like paper, books,
pencils, paints, diaries, typewriters, newspapers, timepieces,
telephones, radio & TV, personal calculators, CDs and DVDs
ubiquitous and hugely popular. In contrast, the lack of these
attributes in tools like the PC, musical instruments, the VCR, the fax
machine, almost all software, PDAs and videoconferencing, has severely
limited the market for these tools, and caused millions to curse their
complexity.
I
don't blame first-generation social software designers for making the
three mistakes that already have detractors raising their eyebrows. We
need to do lots of experiments to see what will work and what won't.
There's no harm designing and playing with skylights and new types of
shingles even before the foundation is ready to be poured. And as
Stowe
said, social software "will become the cornerstone of a revolution in
IT", not to mention a revolution in how we connect, network, and
organize and share information -- activities that comprise much of the
fabric of our lives. We just need to remember: Simple, Personal, Decentralized,
Just-in-time.

Matching newlines in JavaScript
Matching newlines in JavaScript
09/20/2004 04:59 PMJust a quick note: the . character
in a JavaScript regular expression will never match a newline
character. If you want to match any character including newlines you
can use the [\s\S] character class
instead, which means "any character that's either whitespace or not
whitespace".
This differs from both Python and Perl, where regular expression
flags can be used to alter the behaviour of the . character (re.DOTALL and /s
respectively).

04/20/2004 11:17 AMAmazon should run reverse affiliate links. When you search for or
look ar a book on Amazon, they should have a little box that says "If
you like this book, you might like these blogs..."
Better yet, let people upload their OPML file to their Amazon

this book are most likely to be subscribed to these RSS feeds..."
Got this idea while perusing the Share Your OPML app over at scripting.com.
