Currency Playshop

[Michael Maranda]

Just thought I'd break the ice in this google group.  I'm participating in the Free Currency Playshop and have been looking at Flowplace as a result.  

This has led to a lot of reflections on the platform and the potential for distributed applications ... Rich Internet Apps, Browser Extensions that would interact with a successor to Flowplace (or Flowplace itself) .... especially group/identity/transaction servers.  Is anyone currently working on the latter?

Hi Michael, ( cc: the other metacurrency project )

Though perhaps not necessarily as a browser extension ( ? ) ,

I can think of Robin Upton's F2F

and also as distributed trusted routing,

I thought perhaps to clarify --- I'm looking to tools that allow us an overlay on multiple contexts, without forcing us to go to yet a third place to track/log/transact, and which likewise aren't invasive of existing applications/content-contexts.  The latter invasiveness requiring either heavy integration with the application, or being incorporated in the application from the ground up.

Further, as many groups I work with are using multiple tools/spaces to coordinate, it's hard to maintain an integrated view, yet acknowledgements and transactions that operate as an overlay would allow this. 

This will depend upon two aspects:  a transaction/identity/groupness server, and overlay-tools which allow us to operate and interact with the former from any context (like a wiki, or drupal site) or rather from many contexts not determined a priori.  Currently I am exploring strategies to achieve this through Rich Internet Apps and Browser extensions.  

I like what I see in Flowplace and consider it as having great potential for a future iteration with APIs defined.

I hope that clarifies.  I'm still sketching out the requirements for my overlay-tool, and I realize I have not explained it well here.

Hi Michael,

just brainstorming following your question.

I wonder if it could be possible to combine any tools in development such as flowplace and metacurrency,

with twitter,

and then use twitter tools, including browser applications such as

http://www.tweetdeck.com/chrome/

to send , receive, and overview messages/commands , with ones twitter account,

between users, and perhaps even between different "monetary systems" ( by using a different hash tag ? ) 

It could also potentially use "TwitLogic" :
