A Synapse is the connection between two neurons in the brain.
In the Synaptic Web the connections between objects are more important, than the
objects themselves.
Looking at the nodes but start paying
attention to the space between them.
How are those connections changing to produce new
experiences?
Real-time Connections
Past: Email• Full attention• Task orientated• Folder Metaphor• No URL• Long-form
Future: Streams• Partial attention• Flow metaphor• Permalink for each item• Short-form • Sum greater than the
parts

Implicit Connections
The Facebook interest field... who actually updates this or even provides anything more than
the broadest information?
Twitter and Facebook status updates have more more
accurate and interesting implicit data about your changing interests
These are @chrissaad's actual interests Today. They will change tomorrow

Deeper Connections
VS
Just a link
Deep Integration
VS
Instead of embedding links users can start embedding functionality
Start looking more closely at the connections.
Synaptic Web;
The Un-written Bits ...
If everything that is known about an object is attached to it - How would this affect
Search?
When all your communication patterns are observable, what's the use of 'Friend' button?
When everything about you is organically connected, how would this affect
Transparency?
