Daily Mass

So you may have noticed thanks to our resident "tag" expert kiamori, a couple of tools for us to mess around with, featuring Avatars and Signature creation.

I'd had some chats awhile back about the foundation for a basic social map, so we could start to create some tools around community building and identifying skillsets.

So let me run this by you, can you tell what it is yet?

Basically I would like to create a template for avatars for the Top Secret, and if this is possible, be able to run some kind of meta search off the avatars.

Primarily this is a visual cue, which enables the active and lurkers alike to immediately determine relevance with regard informed individual viewpoints.

In each thread, an at a glance "who's who" is created, allowing contributors to immediately locate not only relevant skillsets, but most importantly interested skillsets.

The pie in the sky extension of this is to have the avatar be an actual searchable string, that would enable us to extend this social map into something really powerful.

So give me the low down and dirty on this one girls, boys and inbetweenies, Big Pimpin Process Papa Smurf just got the need to be shot down in a blaze of bon jovi glory.

As far as implementation on the actual Avatars, I'm thinking we could set up a creative production line, just using our own network as proof of concept and to show at least a baseline selection.

Then with our templates as guidelines we unleash the creative aspect of it on the individuals themselves, while still maintain that probably impossible searchie taggy bit.

I'd love to help those without the skills when we have some spare bandwidth, but I definetly don't want us to take it all on considering the commitment.
