What's wrong? Is everyone already fed up with social networks? Well, well, it’s not about them, but about the next epoch-making invention after the hypertext vector fidonet, simply, humanity has not yet come up with a name for it. Well, let's talk a little about Singularity and Thrashhumanism.
Let's start with a review of existing solutions. Based on the premise that we here in Russia should envy everyone there - we will begin to criticize twitter, facebook and google wave. So, what does twitter do not suit me ...
There on the right there is a feature called Trending, where the global trends of discussions are displayed. So, these bugs still do not add Russia there, they added some Mexico, and Russia took a bite. “Don't see your location? We're working on it ”- yeah, they’ve been working on adding a line for half a year now. But the design for any dates do not forget to change. Facebook I changed my mind about scolding, I will praise him. It is very flexible that any phrase on a person’s wall can be discussed. Zuckenberg is right that he decided to use Facebook to poke out all the tyrnet - someone had to do it. That's right, it’s more comfortable to be inside a site than switching between dozens, and if you take into account all sorts of new small projects on which you need to register? - you can go crazy. Google wave is generally an electronic desert, what an inconvenience I immediately noticed - it’s very difficult to delete messages, they cannot be removed in batches at all when you clean the wave from an extraneous flame. Then, I want to highlight one common drawback that is inherent in all these projects. I will explain with an example. When my dog runs into the house after a walk, then it flips through all the rooms in an instant - it carries out reconnaissance, so to speak. Why I need to explain this I will not, I can only say that a person also has such a need, although it is not expressed so explicitly. So, in these three projects, everything with this visibility is very flawed. I can only say that a person also has such a need, although it is not expressed so explicitly. So, in these three projects, everything with this visibility is very flawed. I can only say that a person also has such a need, although it is not expressed so explicitly.

As often happens, someone did not like the implementation, and he made his own project. I also intend to solve the above problems in my own way. I wanted to call the project Singularity, but then I imagined what it should look like. No, it turns out that I am still far from navigating in a ten-dimensional stream of thought images, emotions, sensations, insights and dreams. The full Shmatitsa is also not standing nearby, and does not entangle anyone with wires. Eh, but I thought I had a good swing. Have to cut the word to half, there will be a project Singa.
Imagine that in our time a person may need from a single portal. Or maybe it's better to call an information system? And the weather, and the news, and the mail client, and search, a virtual disk for storing files, click-free navigation, a torrent client - what have I missed? Okay, let's give up fantasies and talk about what we really want to do, by the way, and it will no longer be called a social network, it will be Singa Communication Platform:
1. Blogs, chats, forums, questions and answers, twitter feed, wiki, polls, discussion of news - now it will all be with a single interface and from a single center. A visual graph will allow you to flexibly control the progress of the discussion and maneuver in the information flow. After all, what unites all these services? That communication takes place in letters. Singa will allow texts to assign different types of representations. I selected a piece from the chat, pushed the button “to the blog” - and that’s all, it’s shared and relaxed, without any extra kicks.
2. Navigation - Do you want to keep abreast of all events and incidents? Know where your friends are and what they are doing? Know what is going on in the community? Of course, indicators, indexes, topic and discussion ratings, informational and analytical sections will also help you in this - everyone wants to always be on the wave!
3. It will be possible to add objects for discussion to the system - people, brands, events, news. Yes, it will be possible to add friends and acquaintances who are not registered on the network, create profiles for them, write them something on the wall, and discuss with friends at different privacy levels. It will be possible to indicate for your friends that you know a person, even if he is not in the system or he did not confirm your request. And the requests themselves are essentially not needed, we have democracy and freedom of speech.
4. Recommender services, if processed correctly with a file, will allow a breakthrough. It will be possible not only to reliably infect a person, so that he will never see him again, but also all similar ones. How is this done, you ask - it is very simple, there are only 16 psychological archetypes of people, but you did not know? And also, recommendation services will extend not only to people, but also to all types of content, even messages, because they also have a character. And comments on posts will continue to be sorted according to your preferences, and you won’t have to scroll through the page to find interesting points.
In general, here it is, the near future. The project will be done on Silverlight, because because ... Last time I wrote an invitation to participate in this project, several people responded, therefore, the work has already begun. But I need more people, I want to assemble a big, big team. So, if you were impressed and you wanted to become TRU startup, join: sliceice@gmail.com
