Not surprisingly with all this talk of memes and patterns on the new excapite blog I have been asked what is the excapite meme?
My initial reaction was there is no excapite meme. If anything in retrospect the problem with the excapite experiment was the objective was to create patterns of meaning by generating a new meme per day.
Upon reflection I think maybe if an excapite meme does exists then it is simply this: The ideas and myths we have created about the value and impact of the Internet, the MobCon and the So.Me are worth examining, testing and exploring to their logical – and in some cases illogical – conclusion… regardless of where those ideas may take us.
With that in mind I thought I would update the roadmap from Metcalfe Law to Chaos Theory with a few of the new ideas we have been exploring in more recent times. e.g. Thinking about Marshall McLuhan and the emergence of the Time Wallet, The Long Tale of the Zipf Curve, The fauxion will be an endless mashup, Just how efficient are Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn as Real Time Media Channels?, If you are the product. Who’s buying?, You say you want a fauxion? and In the future which box do you want to call home?
Needless to say, just like the original mashup, it means something to me but I suspect that by now I have lost most of you in translation.
