Insight, "Scoble: Action Aggregate"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into Saturday’s poem…

Scoble: Action Aggregate

point

the structure of the poem with ever decreasing number of syllables per line until it reaches 0 — representing, in abstract, the concept of data aggregation leading towards a smiley happiness

light

an important event this work explored — highlighting the disempowerment of users online through the lack of control being enforced over the users, exemplified by the then and continuing lack of portability of content and personal information from the likes of facebook to elsewhere

Classic, "Scoble: Action Aggregate"

On facebook on orkut for business or some fun

       And everyone from friends to all are aware

       That they only can so very much bare

       Unconnected friends unconnecting

       Profiles all around away fading

With to manage — able none

       No simple single way

       Without some horseplay

       To move to

       Many due

To one

       1

      

Dedicated to Robert Scoble —
The means, and Plaxo, not quite noble —
For elevating the conversation
Of social network aggregation,
As well as social network data portability…
For this I, and we, appreciate his popularity.

Twitter & Facebook: introductions are not necessary

introductions are not necessary.
of what I mean, was meant.
by the things together taken,
from tweets, updates of like.

a full of fear of, itty piggzies,
least at, their cute sneezies.
undone, not to been be,
by success, sci fi, fantasy.

as now these trends reveal,
all together different,
from one to another,
and simultaneously,
between those,
of both and either,
connected more,
the future brings,
where –
introductions,
be and
are,
most completely
not ,
forgotten and un-
necessary!

over here

Over here!
Over here!
I am over-over here.
Been chatting,
Both far and near.

The group
Keeps on growing,
The area is showing,
The pics,
The heads,
Of people
Crowding
’round me.

United —
To a point —
From afar —
Facebook,
Myspace,
Hi5,
Orkut,
And more.

Over here,
From a tweet,
To somewhere,
On the Earth,
I am here,
To share,
And to gather.

With friends,
New and old,
Throughout,
The social world,

We vote,
And we share,
From most everywhere,
And especially,
Most notably,
From here.
