May I Have Your Attention Please?
03:00 PM Dec 06, 2005
Some of you may know that in the recent past I wrote a Masters
thesis on articulated social networking ( okay, who am I kidding, no
one knows). To save you the trouble I'll sum those 80 pages of anthropological babble up here.
Articulated networks are exactly what they sounds
like--visible connections between you and those in your network. Social
networking websites such as Friendster and Myspace
allow users to connect with friends and get a visual demonstration of
how, through these friends, they are connected to others on the
website. I was pleased to discover that I am closely linked to an old
friend from High School as well as Jumbo Slice ( DC residents feel free
to chuckle). This visualization is invaluable to ensuring the identity
of individual users, I guess because the theory is that by knowing who
your friends are, people expect that you won't lie.
The piece de resistance to articulated social networks is that the add is mutual--they know you, you know them. Visible Path
points out that there are important differences between social networks
and attention networks. Attention networks are based not off of mutual
recognition, but off of power. Consider your blogroll as an attention
network--you have blogs on there because you find them worthy in some
way, but those blogs may not care about reciprocating your shout out.
A large part of articulated networks stem from fandom-Friendster embraced this concept in 2004 by creating accounts for Kerry et all and allowing their users to become " fans" instead of friends. So, theoretically (and in practice)
we could create fan sites for our issue areas along with our action
alerts and build street cred by aligning ourselves with progressive
networks.
So what does this mean for the online progressive
community? Are we all connected because we're all fans of
progressive politics? If we all created a MySpace account, who's page
would be the most popular? Who would we befriend in order to strengthen
our identity within our chosen issue area?
