* feedback on first scenario: web as a public resource | |||

** user generated content and the infrastructure visualized | |||
** answers: where does the web come from? | |||
** showing the scale of work that it takes to build the web | |||
** is there more being created than is dying off | |||
** also, number of people coming online | |||
* need a metric to see what's harmful and beneficial | |||
** focus on the beneficial things and just measure them | |||
* do people consciously add their data to the visualization? | |||
** people pulling their own feeds | |||
** how do people feel they own the heartbeat? | |||
* staymen design example of company that does this | |||
** existing stuff and projects we know | |||
** then get other people to throw their stuff into the mix | |||
** how do you get the non-tech bloggers and other content creators in this | |||
* need to have atomic messages | |||
** I build the web and ... | |||
** tie to customization and hackability and theming | |||
** this is a big message | |||
** build a consortium around the theme of hackability | |||
* giving people language so they can ask things like: | |||
** why can't I hack my twitter or facebook page | |||
* what's the outcome of this? | |||
* wrap this into identity | |||
* link identity and control | |||
* who is putting your make up, your or facebook? | |||
* we are in critical moment in making the new winners / whose in control | |||
** companies mediating your identity more than your technology | |||
** they determine how expressive we are able to be | |||

* some elements you want people think about: | |||
** configuration of how you appear and express (manifestation) | |||
** hackability v.s. limitations of service (tools) | |||
** control over your id (identity) | |||
** start w/ top and move down | |||
* how do get people think of a human scale web? | |||
** individual in control of your destiny | |||
** what are your rights when you manifest your identity on the web | |||
** what are the things we want as individuals? should look for? | |||
* the web is like oxygen | |||
** but unlike oxygen, it exists because of us | |||
** we have to keep working to make it happen | |||
** people can then be activated | |||
* the big challenge for everybody: | |||
** getting to people who benefit from the web to care | |||
* show where bits of the internet are going dark | |||
** and then give people a way to act | |||
** heat map of throttling and bandwidth monitoring | |||
** internet consumption stats -> how much of the itnerenet are you using? | |||
