Luckily there we some tickets on Eventbrite left. When I am reading about this topic I always need to think of how we can store our memorys in a big cloud / social network e.g. doing what Google Glasses are capable of but without the glasses. How would you like to relive your best memories in HD Quality on a screen instead of only in your brain? Thank you doc for sharing this event. Luckily there we some tickets on Eventbrite left.

I think that we all need ways we can share photos with each other (my little pet project) in ways other than uploading them to flickr. We need ways in which the files, and especially access to the files, and their metadata are also shared. Doc, I've got somewhere around 600 gigabytes of photos and video from the past 15 years that I've taken. I assume you've got something like that as well. Just giving someone access is a non-starter because who wants to look through 300,000 photos? I've done it about 5 times in my life, each time because of loss of metadata due to transfers, hard drive failures, etc. Getting past that, if we could share subsets of our stuff, in such a way that we share metadata (in both directions!), you could add names to people I don't recognize, rate things, add other photos of the same event, etc. There are a lot of things that bulk posting of web pages doesn't accommodate. This is all true for photos, and I can't even imaging 1% of the other things that can't be done for lack of better sharing tools. We need to share stuff in much richer ways... I want to talk to anyone who is interested. --Mike-- Part of that personal cloud will have to be social file systems.
