I’ve recently been exploring a space that I will call, “Political Software.”
Most SocialSoftware, generally described as “software that helps groups to form,” and prototyped here to include blogs, wiki, and so on, focuses on the lower end of the EcosystemOfNetworks.
For example, blogs are, in our conventional day to day use as “little people in a big world,” centered towards the CreativeNetwork? aka “Clique,” wiki are similarly situated.
The same for wiki, though I suppose a few sites have big communities of, say, 30-100 people working on them. (The “Social Networks” in the map.)
“Proto-Political Software” is software that exists before what I want to call, “Political Software.”
Examples are:
While out here, in the cliques & social networks, we say, “VotingIsEvil,” …
…in political software, voting is a near universal feature.
(IN PROGRESS.)
This is a WorkInProgress, but if you have any comments or questions already, please do so!
