Is Daylife the Collective Conscious?
July 20, 2007 03:55 PM | Posted in: IdeasJung posited the idea of the collective unconscious (later refined, but a good point of departure). Do Daylife and similar stream aggregators / visualizers (I'm reaching for a handle to describe these entities) like Universe, point at what a collective conscious could be?
Universe
Some precursors might be Yahoo's Taglines and TagMaps, Google Zeitgeist / Trends, and the various cloud style visualizations like cloudalicious, etc.
Plainly, the number and variety of tools and destinations for visualizing what's on the mind of groups is growing rapidly.
If the parallelism holds, meaning Daylife and kin are themselves points of departure, where is this going? I'm not thinking of collective intelligence - just the visualization aspect, and how that may evolve.
