I notice a guy looking at a picture of me on Flickr. And then also from twitter.

It’s crazy how fast stuff’s out there. And magic how it just evolves by individuals just adding stuff up there.

And the talk went.. well, not too good. I got nervous because this is a subject that I am not altogether certain with. I haven’t presented it that many times and it is still in the loop of creation. AND I really think it is important.

Collectivity is definitely the next big step in our mutual evolution. I think it is important that we make interfaces that have intentions in them. Not that I as a designer wants to decide what people should do, but I think it is important to notice that we are at the brink of a large scale change. And we can’t just rely on the creative impulse of random individuals to make the solutions themselves. We should have interfaces, services that help people contribute more to getting the change moving in the right direction.

How do we facilitate positive change on the global scale? How do we make interfaces that get people to work on important subjects faster, better? Social tool beyond entertainment?

How? It is a difficult subject to address, because I am not out to bad-mouth social softwares, I am here to demand more of social software. I do agree that linked infrastructures are the best – possibly only way to work with the current levels of complexity… How do we get more…

I’d love to participate in these design processe – because they are important.

Well, lets Reboot some more and see what happens.

Reboot is a gathering of a lot of interesting people who work on the edge of the internet and service design. It’s these people who make the next generation of the stuff that will define our net-everyday the coming years

When you go to the site, you can read some of the proposals that people have made for conference content. Also by me.

The conference is created in the next weeks, and the program is made out of the proposals that we give the organizers on the website. Interesting, yes?
