A couple of simple examples would be Google Chrome and the view of your popular web pages and Lotus Notes’ Workplace view.  The visual icon UI interface is really easy to interact with – it just adds an additional emphasis on the icon that you use – an extra navigation ui component.

Here is a video explaining my thoughts.

Here is a short video explain a UI option within Lotus Notes v8.5.

Basically I want an AND function in my browser find / search as per the video below.

I like this idea.

I can see two places in Sametime where context information might be useful

1. Within my buddy list I can add some context information, or within the actual chat window.

2. when I set up a notification, to be able to add some text about why I want the notification to appear might also be useful.

If you like this idea click the technocrati button on the left or share it with someone!

I don’t like this.  I want to move files to other folders even if the file is open.

Is that too much to ask?

And the slide deck without audio is on slideshare.

The library card already hold informaiton about us, it has a way of billing us and libraries are often the start of the search for local council and community services.  If we also combine the library card with sponsors like Mojo we can have access to community services and a coffee loyalty program and I can’t see anyone disagreeing with that!

The advantage to the organisation is that they could then build widgets and fragments that we could place within the UI of any application to allow access to these external social software applications in the context of the activity that the employee is performing – this assumes that the organisation finds value in employees interacting with social software sites.

The social software discovery service would be an extension to the pre-exiting  corporate directory ie. the the external corporate directory.  We would need to map corporate user id against external user ids similar to some SSO soultions.

If employees didn’t sign-up to the discovery service and provide their userids and passwords for these accounts the organisation could block access to them from work using security services such as Facetime.  (this raises some ethical issues about corporate access to employees digital profiles, this is disucussed in Profile 2.0 – more on that later)

Infact I would like to have conversational threading for all the social software application I interact with e.g. linkedin, facebook, wordpress etc. along with all the replies and comments.

I would like to interact with all these social software services from within a standard interface i.e. my email system.   This may lead to commoditisation of social software capabiliites because I will no longer care which social software site I am interacting with as it is abstracted to my email client.

I believe this creates a new requirement for an Enterprise Social Software discovery service…

My idea would be to create decks of cards based on the folksonomy of all the blog content from influencial innovators.  Then using these key words mix in action statements and random objects and images to see if hitting your brain with these stimulus produces new thoughts.
