Principle
Many tools from research in social networking have emerged recently we must benefit from them, especially since our networks have grown a lot and if we want to be scalable and have quality relationships we won't be able to go further without coping tools (again).
Applications
- improve caller-ID
- display contextual information about the caller
- provide a VoIP version
- use the "Contact" section of wiki pages to automatically include the potential persons interested
- bottom and up limit
- privatization system
- from the more specialized (perfectly matching tag) to the more general (anybody)
- go pass beyond the Dunbar's number while maintaining high quality relationships
- leveraging social models (e.g. Six degrees of separation
) and mediated digitalized conversations (SNS
, Google Wave, VoIP, ...)
- explore the notion of "social routing"
- applying and visualization models of sociology
Note that being social has a cost (energy, resources, ...) and that maintaining ones network might also be seen with a (non financial) return on investment mindset in order to avoid extremes in both direction (asocial or ultra-social/eusocial).
Potential solution
- Person.Template used to add another person
- generated network
- PageLists to list persons
(:pagelist group=Person list=normal name=-Person,-*Template*:)
- PageListTemplates to make GraphViz code
- PmGraphViz to generate the image and display it
Note that the wiki format provide natively support for history of each page, potentially way to study the "history of a relationship"
Result
(:pmgraphviz -- [=
digraph {
me [label="me" style=filled fillcolor=blue];
Person.Test1 [label="Person.Test1" style=filled fillcolor=orange];
me -> Person.Test1;
}
=] :)
See actually the local implementation (more secure since we are dealing with actual private information).

Remarks
- Could family fatigue, meeting family members not for pleasure but because they are related, be a consequence of predictability? Could the low information exchange lead to gradually unpleasant encounters?
- note that this also happens with long-term close acquaintances but to a lesser degree
- risks
- increasing predictability
- social pressure
- conflict avoidance
- advantages
- no small talk required
- known domain of agreements
- solutions
- find personal topics in which the other person has specific knowledge that is interesting to you
- unique trips for geography, family heritage and culture, youth and history, ...
- introduce new topics and activities
- leverage own skills the other person believe are unique to himself or herself for your own problem
- offer to do the opposite but never force it, let the person take your offer later on if preferred

- Teamwork as offloaded cognition for the initiator of the project
- is it not just delegating by laziness or for efficiency but a solution to solve complexity through scalability
- also, without delegating, could simply the presence within a specialized environment, for example a research laboratory, very efficiently facilitate the conduct of complex work by asking questions to other members and letting them play with those questions in the background of their mind lower the stress on each participant?
- inspired by N is a Number on Paul Erdos, The Mechanical Mind in History and Les Prodigieux Theoremes De Monsieur Nash in which each brilliant work was closer to vision and orchestration of the work to reach it rather than solely tedious attempts

- topology of the current social group, dynamics and their consequences
- 1 to 1 conversation

- many to many conversation
- about "winning", having an audience, demonstrating alpha-type qualities, ...
Done
To do
- use Seedea:Oimp/Socialannotating
- define default network (email, IM, IRC, Twitter, ...) to transmit a message
- per user
- per type of message (texte, picture, ...)
- per content (personnal, professional, ...)
- as a composition of the 3
- consider adding a password (or .htaccess limited to 127.0.0.1)
- find an API for importing data from social networks
- embed/update data on pages
- stats from irssi logs (IRC, IM through bitlbee/minbif, Twitter through twirssi, VoIP through Asterisk), Facebook, Twitter, ...
- people you are connected to
- frequency of msg exchanged
- date of last message sent
- qdos and its applications
- schema that shows what counts are made for the various supported sites
- rdf
- output a visual through PmGraphViz
- check The Friend of a Friend (FOAF) project "creating a Web of machine-readable pages describing people, the links between them and the things they create and do" and its potential usage
- my own FOAF thanks to identi.ca
- see also the active wiki
- see the related discussion at PIM (2009-10-09T16:12:18)
distance represents frequencies of messages exchange
color type or last message sent
- link to the social aspect of Cookbook.Cognition#Thinking
- add Content.Needs and use categories to automatically select the person most likely to be able to help
- example House.House#Contacts
- imagine this as a "distributed/social cognition API"
- consider a resume (formalized as XML resume) an equivalent of API definition or WSDL)
- integrate my irssi /note
/alias note trigger add -once -privmsgs -masks '$0*' -command 'echo -level hilight -window &bitlbee $0 -> $1-'
- make note read/write in the wiki instead, letting me modify information outside of irssi
- trust systems
- Reputation management according to Wikipedia
- "the process of tracking an entity's actions and other entities' opinions about those actions; reporting on those actions and opinions; and reacting to that report creating a feedback loop."
- existing commercially inspired
- apply the same to each interactions with an equivalent FOSS framework/library

- Semantic Signup allowing to populate a user page with semantic data at signup time
- a possible visualization could also be a timeline with the social network as a series of circles (in order to give an "entourage" perspective) representing persons (eventually with significant part of their own contacts) in order to get an overview of the evolution of the personal social network
- highlighting periods in the timeline, for example transition from a school to another, a place to another and thus displaying radical reconfigurations
- updated contacts section of the different pages
- tag cloud per person based on conversation logs
- generate them periodically to see an evolution over time
- different color for "new" tags
- use cron and a command line encoder (like mencoder) to generate automatically a "movie" per person
- if the person will be present in an upcoming event, review his or her "movie" to refresh your memory
- consider Wordle
- find a tool generating social network from recorded voices
- train and test through movies
- use for meeting recordings
- mapping a voice to a person
- linking persons based on the the lapse between each voice caught
- positioning nodes based on frequency, length of reply, ...
- resources
- trombinoscope test
- faces of people tagged E (previous presence at the type of Events) that should be present at the event Im heading at (thanks to the calendar recipe)
- random walk displaying the profile picture of each then asking for a name, upon click display the name under the picture then upon click move to the next
- objective being to avoid awkward "hey... mister!... what's your name already? Sorry I forgot..." moments
- display shared links from Irssi#Note in order to keep an history
- useful to links that friends lost
- store rendez-vous waiting time statistics
- produce a small visual (using for example Sparklines)
- Information context
- use Google Trends (Insights) to check the context the person you are interested in lives in
- according to the local situation, from the broadest (world) to the smallest (his or her city, even the neighborhood)
- in time, from years ago up to now
- embed good practices or solutions like FamilyFatigueSolutions
- tech-savy (or better security-savy) trust scale
- Cultural Intersection

Self-tracking can sometimes appear narcissistic, but it also allows people to connect with one another in new ways. We leave traces of ourselves with our numbers, like insects putting down a trail of pheromones, and in times of crisis, these signals can lead us to others who share our concerns and care enough to help."
