Openly Annonomus descriptions of self/needs/desires/passions
There are many people who want to tell things about themselves but are not in a technical or societial position to brag about it.
Situation Example #1: A person with a beautiful garden wants to Let passers by know what is in the garden, how things were laid out etc... Sometimes to avoid mundain repetitive questions, sometimes out of pure goodness of heart to share information, however motivated, the gardening work can take different turns if people can communicate with the gardener. this hopefully will ward off any but the most inquisitive people.
Situation Example #2: Office policy, shyness, Humility(?), political correctness, time restrictions, ignorance, etc... don't always alow a detailed sign in an office area to tell others what you would like them to know... For example:
I am pleased to work with you but please do not offer me coffee, alcohol, etc vices... or expect me to attend/ discuss imorral movies, shows etc... Occasional sports are fine, but don't offer me pools...
(BC After a while there will be standard sites that could contain various codes of conduct... kind of like CB radio craizes of the 60s .... a person could have a sign up like untold.info / smoke or untold.info / sex (double edged tool promotes as well as wards off promiscuous behavior) and ride off of others feelings that are already expressed under the title "smoke" (Danger to public if these fixed images are changed by rightful owners/renters of space) but to some extent that is the problem of the person riding the coattails) Buyer be ware... dont trust anything but at least check it out... put paid surities in a different directory... Is there a limit to the number of directories?)
Situation Example #3 Sizing up... What do you want others to think(Know) about you that they might be affraid to ask... For example, in American Culture it is drilled into society moreas that you should not ask about Politics, Religion, Salary, etc.... is often never known until a funeral where everyone says...I wish I had known that then I would have....
Situation example #4 A company may want to tell more than they are required for some reason about a product... such as how to operate the equipment/process/product.. or even just to have publicity pro or con refuted
(Buisinesss case use micro billing and make enries automattic)
Whatever... When others have the information availible that you would like to have them have about you they will make a different set (may be good , may be worse) of decisons than if they work in a guessing vaccume.
Beginning to see the problem?....There is a business case potential for making money selling a cultural awareness information site... but for now I want to try testing the following... Yeah someone could simply put up a web site address as is done with all web advertizing.... but if people in society (speaking individualy as well as collectively) ...a person could see a common name, such as "untold.info" or some other name for a website and then some identifier that could have everything or nothing to do with the person who wants to pass along information openly
Implementation #1
At my desk at work I hang a sign of sorts that displays something like the following:
Untold.info / glasses
Curious people can either glance at the website and read what I want to tell them.... through the culturally Advertized and instilled instictive look of the "untold.info" and glance to an index that says "glasses" to see what I have to say.
(BC Website forwarding, email)
Now here is the phillosophy in action.... IN my site I want in my case to remain anonymous... to most readers who would casually read through the open listings...
Only the person who specifically looked up "glasses" after reading my sign will know who the information in "glasses" pertains to.me.
(BC Sell 5 meg hunks of space on a server, let people put in whatever they want (policy established for criminal uses/police cooperation / illicet file swaping... etc)
(Drawback...(same as current internet for) what if a person looked at the sign and typed "glassus" or "g1asses" instead of "glasses" and got someone elses messages confuzed with the real messages I am trying to send... same problem as Whitehouse.gov vs Whitehouse.XXX)
Whatever, I want to use the dedicated "untold.info" service to tell people my interests and they have looked me up in a manner that I can say what I want and they can come back and question me....knowing that they will not be "Wierd for asking me about what I wanted them to know about me"
Like many activities, the operation will become clear when really used.
