personal/social loops of information and behaviors

Plan

1. What?
2. Why?
3. and... why is it relevant?!
4. Explicit result : public wiki, IRC channel
5. Implicit result : new behaviors
6. What's yet to come

What?

• QuantifiedSelf.com
• LifeHacker.com
• PomodoroTechnique.com
• Getting Things Done

Why?

• frustration of classical non technological support, technological but private support, etc
• information overload
  • multitasking does not cut it
• cheaper cost of transaction
  • collaboration is easier
• perception of an "intimate web"
  • /Utopiahanalysis/Pim

and... why is it relevant?!

• establish a loop between personal and social
  • "I" personally manage my own life through
    • the tools made by others
    • the methods made by others
• because "nodes" are starting to connect themselves
  • e.g. also of thimbl

most of this shared online, on the web.

Explicit result : public wiki, IRC channel

• Wikipedia:Life hack
• Wikipedia:Personal information management
• 
  • http://www.ourp.im/Communication/Logs
  • conversation is happening
• http://www.ourp.im
  • my own instance MyPIM

Implicit result : new behaviors

• online behaviors change offline behavior
  • (if there is still an "offline")
• distributed cognition
  • hosted on multiple tools and places
• delegated cognition
  • executed through a network of processes
• emergence of "cognitive commons"
  • with the explosion of FLOSS bricks

What's yet to come

• limited access to identified user to parts of PIMs
• more machine learning techniques
  • requiring us to understand what bias designers had
• integration and usage of OpenData
• "politics of cognition" modified on a daily basis ?
• scientific PIM, leveraging the scientific method, daily
• ...
• your ideas?

And maybe you participation to OurP.IM ;)
