Dear Mozillans,
Myk suggested, to post our idea to mozilla-labs.
we (a group of young developers) made a
concept about the best way to connect apps and the
experience of social networking.
we take the structure of mind map and the possibilities of apps, combining it to
a social experience, where you can create virtual
networks of visible syntaxes and share it to other
users.
The idea is very easy: you have the bubbles, you can put
information like apps, files, photos, linked pages etc. there
and you have the structure of mind map, where you can connect the
bubbles to a network of personal or common use.
the benefit of this system is, that you can create different
"networks" to navigate and use therefor specific apps for every purpose:
-you can store music files, personal apps etc. in the bubbles,
than you have a kind of folder-system.
-you can put informations like picutres, videos, shortcuts of
webpages inside, than you have a knowledge database.
-also it is possible, to create public networks, with bubbles
called "main room", "project x", "voting-room", "council z"
"marketing departement" etc. and use apps for business and
community like voting-tools, calender, to-do-lists, publishing
helper etc.
than it is a mix between forum, social network and project
management tool
-it is possbie to create "webpages" on an easy and intuitive way,
and you can "see" the subtle connections as the links between the
bubbles
the apps can be self-made by our plattform and/or use existing
plattforms and services to convert it.
possibly it is a web device or a destop gui or the link between.
Now we are offering our idea to several non-profit
and open-sorce groups to find out, who is interested
in a collaboration.
We want to discuss our concept in a bigger circle and would be very happy, if our project would fit into the space of Mozilla.
