I had a dream last night that caused me to wake up at 4:30am and race out to write down some thoughts. The dream was about a marketplace where everyone was shouting out to the crowd and selling the same product. I saw flashes of the bull pit at the New York Stock Exchange. Some thoughts dropped in which I got up and wrote down. While I was writing a had a tangent which was to do with twitter.
I saw a tag cloud of tweets
A massive cloud of tweets where tweets pop in and out. and you are wading through with phrases coming at you from all directions. some are advertisements some are links some are thoughts. Some are insane.
It’s the new marketplace The hawkers deal in electrons instead of cabbages.
You are in the vortex you are immersed in it, catching the phrases and the colours and the light and shade. And there is sound that is mingled, and comes in and out as you navigate through .
“Come and get your widgets here buy one get another for half price.” “Special today only.” The voices go with the tweets. There are pictures and vids as well. little two dimensional landscapes floating past in a three dimensional application interface.
The cloud is not real but it may as well be because there is no computer screen. The screen is the cloud. The sound is perfect and it surrounds you. fading in and out and matches your travel.
It’s confusing, just like the largest market square in the universe. What an interesting concept. !
