FLUIDS…they are just names

Kaliya Young · January 26, 2006 · Leave a Comment

This is a post IDs: where do they lead … ? by Bill Anderson that is great.
Bill and I were introduced by Jerry Michalski – (sociate) and have had quite a few great conversations over the past year. He did this post in early December that I just found. I though you would enjoy the humor and point he is making.

I’ve been noticing that I’m getting more and more behind on the online identity conversations, implementations, ruminations, and exploitations (?). But I try to keep track of what pops up on the weblogs of Mary Hodder and Kaliya Hamlin, for starters.
I was looking at the acronym “ID” and that triggered the following set of associations:
IDs = identifiers, could even be names, but seem to be more formal, as in “Show me your ID.”
UIDs = unique ones of these ID thingys. These show up sometimes on software modules.
GUIDs = globally unique ID thingys. I’ve seen these being applied to globally identifying species, and again to software (where it’s sometimes spelled UUID).
and this led me to yet another acronym:
FLUIDs = which I’m defining as familiar, famous, or favorite local, unique, identifier thingys. These, I think, are also known as names.

Jerry's experiment tomorrow

Kaliya Young · August 1, 2005 · Leave a Comment

Jerry Michalskiis going to be doing an experiment tomorrow – Monday night at the Hillside club.

At this Fireside Meeting, Jerry will blend a performance piece that involves the audience and a piece of concept-mapping software called TheBrain with a thesis he’s developing that will either have you grinning enthusiastically or throwing spoiled vegetables. It’s an experiment, and whoever shows up will help shape it.

This is an interesting fact I didn’t know Marc Finnern posted on the Future Salon.

At AlwaysOn a week ago I talked to Doc Searls and he told me that the original idea for the Cluetrain Manifesto was born 10 years ago at one of Jerry’s retreats. There are many events in the Bay Area, but this one you shouldn’t miss.

As a forward looking thinker Jerry has a lot of good things to say about identity and we often chat about the field. I am looking forward to going to the next (my first) “Jerry’s retreat.” Hopefully he can come to the Identity Event in Berkeley in October details to follow this week.

YASN (yet another social network)

Kaliya Young · July 14, 2005 · Leave a Comment

Simpatico Networks – so far there are no blog posts about them.
They link out to the who’s who of social media on the blogoshpere from their Social Networking 2.0 including ClayShirky, danah boyd, Dave Weinberger, Many-to-Many, Ross Mayfield, Stowe Boyd – my friend Jerry Michalski and Wikipedia.
Seems like their current implementations are focused on different faith communities.
