the conversation. evolvedan incomplete history of the internet

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

In the beginning...

... was the BBS.

Users dialed up a server and left messages for each other.

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

That gave way to...

... the Forum.

Innovated by CompuServe as a way to ‘centralize’ the BBS system.

Still required ‘permission’ and special ‘access’.

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

Which became...

... the Message Board.

Internet Version of the Forum.

Access is (mostly) open to the internet at large.

Still an asynchronous communication model

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

Then the ‘me’ gene kicked in...

...And the Weblog was born.

Satisfied both a publishing problem and a need to communicate.

Comments were soon added, which created a ‘one person’ message board, of sorts.

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

And then we got social...

MySpace bastardized the blog and the private message.

So, we all ran to Facebook

RSS turned updates on its head

And we collected them into a life stream

innovation the spark of genius

what are you doing?how twitter changed everything

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

twitter’s impact

asynchronous attention

unforced reciprocity

ambient awareness

instant crowd sourcing

geo-coded notifications

social news filter

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

And so much more...a platform beats an application every time

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

The post (comment) is the base unit of measurement of the conversationIt’s not where you say it - It’s what you have to say.

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

Where to go from here?Some things to think about

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

What concepts can you extend?And how does it dovetail with your passions

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

Scratch your own itchAnd success is possible.

Do anything else, and it’s a Job.
