As the web is increasingly a natural habitat for us, where, how and through what channels we express ourselves, converse and interact is as fragmented, eclectic and diversified as our way of free and associative thinking. It’s not that we are all being Scobelized or “jazzed” (great metaphor), it’s that our contexts are dynamic, scattered across all channels of communication, in short: it’s all over the “place”.

Today, when you want to follow Scoble’s threads of thought live, as you call it, as it evolves through all the channels he uses, you have to actively aggregate it and tailor the jigsaw puzzle.
This is a great example of how the web is becoming the people’s web and Scoble, you, me, everyone, are individuals atoms (or Itoms as we like to call it http://I4c-corp.com ) in a people’s grid.

To be able to really follow his mind and ideas in the same natural way that he expresses them, through all his channels of communication – a mind shift is needed for taking a holistic view of contexting people and not just their fragmented interactions.

Enabling such a holistic harmonious view, without fear of a big brother with all its implications, begs for an Icentered world (www.icentered.oerg) where each of us alone has the key to her holistic view and the ability to share at her discretion. That will turn not only journalism, but all our scattered web based conversations into a true “web of life” with individually unique finger prints.

I like to take things a bit slower, but the tech for someone like me isn’t here yet. I know some of the pain points for myself are wildly different, because I live a live split between work/commute/home.

My personal laptop is FULL ( < 100 Mb free until I gave in and pruned a bit this morning), but my machine at work is a desktop which can essentially be infinite. Syncing works only if I keep free space on the laptop, which is a huge pain.

There’s no internet on the train, which means I’m disconnected for 2 separate 45 minute commutes each day, during which I have peace and quiet (with headphones), but no net to interact with.

I have a 2 year old daughter, so there’s no real free time until she’s asleep… and that’s sleep deficit spending.

Wow… maybe this should just be a blog post instead?
