Another step towards information filtering through the social graph.  If this one doesn’t catch on, another will. Digital information tools will continue to better image real human interaction, and social information has existed since civilization.

Here’s an initial take from Gizmodo. More theological analysis when I get a chance to think a bit more on it. But my basic thoughts in this arena imagine the Church as the filtering community (more in Chapter 6 here if you want).

    Good stuff, Chris. An article discussing development along these lines that I love: http://www.ethanzuckerman.com/blog/2011/05/12/chi-keynote-desperately-seeking-serendipity/

    Also, do you happen to be a fan of Chuck Klosterman? I think you’d enjoy his essay on the Unabomber.

About Me

About Me

Retro-identity idea: define yourself by magazines. Me? Wired. Paste. Atlantic Monthly. Discipleship Journal. Or this: For ten years I've worked as a leadership coach, spiritual director, and free agent missionary with Great Commission Ministries on its mission to reach the next generation

I currently serve as the Communications Strategist for GCM, helping train and equip church planters, campus missionaries , and other missional leaders. My area of curiosity is the impact of an information society on Christian theology, especially a doctrine of scripture. Does text messaging modify our view of the Trinity? Oh yeah, and I'm inexcusably addicted to breakfast diners.

Most recent outpost: Orlando, FL. My city: Chicago. My home: Champaign, IL
