This is why microblogging needs layers. The inanity of a post should be machine-readable so users can filter those they follow based on how much they want to know. At the bottommost level would be stream-of-bioinformatics auto-logged by attached devices. At the top level would be something like "[username] was born [timestamp]. [username] died [timestamp]." Anything in-between should be categorized somehow (by the user themself? by a trust network? by NLP?) I like to use the ZUI and LOD metaphor here.
- pavel_lishin 17y agoNah, at the bottom should be "GUESS WHICH TARANTINO MOVIE CHARACTER YOU ARE!?"
- calcnerd256 17y agoI suspect there would be millions of data points on the bioinformatics corresponding with the taking of that quiz.
- oldgregg 17y agoIncidentally this is a good metric in hiring decisions. Anyone who has the time or interest to complete this survey is probably not the best fit. It would be like if you asked an interviewee what the like to read and they said Cosmo and Redbook. Now that I think about it, every time I see someone post one of those things I subconsciously lose a little respect for them. :-/
