Stephen Dulaney thinks nobody reads his weblog. I, for one, am a loyal reader and i can hardly imagine i'm the only one regularly reading his thoughts on social networks, Groove and blogging. I've just have been a little hesitant to quote him because i assumed he liked the idea of blogging alone ;-)
Amongst other things he's been proposing the concept of a Radio/Groove offramp that he would like to see:
I wish there was a way to use radio but keep some of the things private like in groove. I like the journal aspect that weblogs are like groove workspaces with a time stamp but there are some things that I need to find a place to log but I don't want to be shared so publicly. I liken groove to sharing secrets. I started the weblog to explain social capital in the blogspace as a result of what I saw when Dave was absent for health reasons. Then just Monday I had my own minor scare and now need a place to log some health numbers but don't want them on the blog. However the process of loging using Radio feels like the easiest path except for the problem that I can't controll the members of the shared space. There is some sweet spot between groove and radio that is just on the tip of reality. It depends on how granular the controls could be for sharing secrets. The onramp idea may need to be explored as an offramp from radio to groove. During the last months Tim and I have been working on some experiments on how to connect Radio and Groove, mainly focussing on using Radio's publishing power to provide a particular space with a (partial) content publisher. However the proposed Radio offramp shouldn't be so hard to create, Tim and Hugh allready proved that, and with the upcoming release of Groove's Edge Services things are getting even easier. This is something to discuss with Tim when he returns from his well deserved vacation in Espagna.
