Not being a Geek I was very excited a few months ago being invited to test Glue ! I  at 72 years old and not a fan of  Machine Communication ,    find found that somewhere in the computer science education platform Geekery has taught students to talk to machines not people ! My LG is full blown I don’t text get email etc, As and old man I like the touch keyboard  so i bought an LG Vu Mobile Phone ! I find Twitter and Friendfeed boring applications !

I get my reads from Frank Eliason Chris Brogan Louis Gray Steve Rubel  Shel Israel Bill Israel Dave Winer and more I pull them into my mail box with Tabbloid  a Free Service from Hewlett Packard tabbloid_2008-12-24_0900-2

But Glue is a different story , first and foremost Alex Iskold http://alexiskold.wordpress.com/

Alex Iskold is Founder/CEO of AdaptiveBlue, a smart browsing company. He is also a feature writer for popular technology blog – ReadWriteWeb and a regular member of the SemanticWeb gang.

Alex understands the Science of General Semantics that I have studied since 1963.

For semantics in general, see Semantics.
The term General Semantics refers to a non-Aristotelian educational discipline created by Alfred Korzybski (1879–1950) during the years 1919 to 1933. General Semantics stands distinct from semantics, a different subject. The name technically refers to the study of what Korzybski called “semantic reactions”, or reactions of the whole human organism in its environment to some event — any event, not just perceiving a human-made symbol — in respect of that event’s meaning. However, people most commonly use the name to mean the particular system of semantic reactions that Korzybski called the most useful for human survival, i.e. delayed reactions as opposed to “signal reactions” (immediate, unthinking ones).

Therefore this artcile from Sarah Perez is very thought provoking,  Glue is an exciting browser add on and it has great features for us The Unwashed -

It’s not just FriendFeed that has this issue – every action we take on the social web requires some sort of user input – we have to “like,” “share,” “bookmark,” “update,” every little thing we do…and sometimes, it just doesn’t feel that natural. On the flip side, there are tools like the semantically-powered Glue, for instance, that quietly shares our behavior with friends. When we visit Wikipedia, search for a new book, CD, or movie, research local restaurants, discover new wines, and more, Glue makes a note of that action which our friends can later review.

Unfortunately, there’s no “Glue” for the social web. There’s also no happy medium between what it does – quietly observe, record, and share all your actions – and the control you have with a single, manual “like” on FriendFeed. The ideal social tool would be something in the middle. Not entirely passive, but also not requiring you to click, click, click all the time to register your opinions. What this may be, I can’t even imagine, but it would have to be something that ties the social web all together. If I read an article in Google Reader, it could get liked on FriendFeed automatically. With one click, I could then Digg it, bookmark it, Twitter it, etc. Oh, and the starting point shouldn’t have to be Google Reader. A great tool would provide that same workflow, no matter where you first saw the content.

Clearly, the perfect social tool has not been invented yet, and – who knows? – we could be years away from even seeing anything like it (although I hope not). But it needs to exist because I need to use it. Not next year, not tomorrow, but now. Won’t someone please build this, the perfect social tool?  Written by Sarah Perez / December 24, 2008 6:00 AM / 10 Comments « Prior Post
