On being
July 3rd, 2007I had started a post about charisma, and how we should design for people who want to possess more of it. But I didn’t quite have my thoughts together yet. So instead, this.
I stumbled upon this site again after a long time of not seeing it or remembering it. It’s a beautiful site. Giant smiles always cross my face when I meet people who can share random, honest stories. People who can share quirks, dreams, and the past in a way that makes you want to hear more. Or share your own stories.
That’s part of what real connections and relationships are to me. There’s always talk of designing things to make relationships more real, but in reality, how far have we come with that?

First, we may have to define what we mean by a real connection and a real relationship. And is that the same for all people?

It’s not the same for all people, I think that’s why there’s such a problem when we talk about designing for this space, all design ideas seem so scattered.
Or I just have to keep reminding myself that I am not the user. Maybe I should just take up a job designing for myself ;)
