Some brilliant work appears to have been behind AntiSpore.com. The website postured itself as fundamentally creationist, and attacked the 'evolutionist dogma' brought to life though EA's new game, Spore. The game allows players to temper the evolution of lifeforms by design. This was antithetical to the beliefs of AntiSpore.com's writers, and stood for several breaches of morality that were the content of each post.
  



Yesterday, the truth came out.

Having collaborated on the first "Age of Conversation" book, I saw the opportunity to help write the second edition as a method for launching the idea of a conversation on social media a step forward. Last year, my chapter titled "It Is Not Enough To Simply Listen," focused upon the need for brands to embrace the participation element of online conversation. This year, I chose to take the long view of persistent interaction and forecast the ramifications of the trail of digital artifacts we distribute over time.

I recently returned to revisit the platform. This time, I perceived the hive conversation in a way I had not the first time around. Immersion within the Twitter stream informed this new perspective on the global conversation that was stirring in the public channel.

So I asked the hive, "What does being part of the seesmic community mean to you?



The responses were revealing. In moments, several users replied. Each had a great answer to the question.

Coincidentally (thanks to Woopra) while writing this post I received a visit from another responder, RJ from WorldVentures DreamTrips.



The news of seesmic opening its video commenting system as a plugin for different blogging platforms brought me back to the community. Video comments in Wordpress are great. However, it's worth taking another look at the health of the seesmic community back at the site.

My voice was missing from much of this blog. I never really considered it as such until this weekend - instead it was a sandbox for journaling my online exploration of social interaction through the emergent online landscape.

Injecting "I" into CollaborativeIdeation creates a more meaningful artifact - from a former tumbling trail of digital breadcrumbs.
