A place for living information

2022-09-01 live information scene (of a play, movie, etc.)

@sm_hn: Ten years ago, I used to watch as my conscious digital uncles would say, “Evernote is my second brain! I used to look at them and think, “Well, if I can master Google, I can skip some of that hard work.

@nishio: Nowadays, “search from your own clips” and “search from information open to the world” are choosing the wrong two options, and using Scrapbox as a second brain, you can skewer your own personal clips and discussions in closed communities, which most people don’t understand because closed community is unobservable - Self-Management Strategies for Engineers.

@nishio: Other people’s questions can promote verbalization, and past articles can be unearthed and brushed up when triggered by other people’s actions. What is missing for those who think that they have clipped and hoarded information but have failed to produce useful buds are others to make the place not a “warehouse of dead information” but a “fish tank where living information swims around”. - dead fish - Metaphor of a fish tank

@nishio: So, there are two ways to do this, “make it public and observe the unspecified number of people mentioning it” and “formulate the information with members who have a common goal”, the latter being very useful use of Scrapbox, but often private so the public is not aware of it. - Social Triggers

@nishio: The increase of garbage on the internet is the same phenomenon that has been repeated in several places. At first, all the givers create a beneficial place, but when the place becomes beneficial, takers come in to profit and the value of the place goes down. - Why do social networking sites rise and fall?
