Chapter Two

Last week I had the tough act to follow Ray Ozzie and Mike Helfrich of Groove on a Social Software panel Clay Shirky moderated.  Prompted Mike to pick up his blog (what about Ray?), and he is back. 

There are some amazing examples of how Groove allows ad-hoc application infrastructure creation.  Sensor networks based on smart radio network physical infrastructure are realizing Saffo's vision of a shift to Interaction:

The Shift From Processing and Access to Interaction

However, current systems lack social sensors.  Mike points to the trendline:

D.C. Denison writes about Groove in his Business Intelligence column, which appeared in today's Sunday Boston Globe. He correctly credits "Chapter One" of the internet's history to DARPA. He talks of Chapter Two and the military/technology trend taking hold right now in the form of social software that uses the internet as it was intended.  Decentralized groups of people swarming with a common purpose, using the net as a platform for connectivity, leveraging the net's inherent pervasiveness and high availability. [Michael Helfrich's Radio Weblog]

We are still a long way from the social infrastructure to complement ad-hoc application and physical infrastructure.  But the right pieces are emerging and maturing.
