Personal Learning Network
Social networking for creativity boost
Web app for tracking inspirations and random prototyping with people on the Internet.
People use this app to get inspired from diverse pool of strangers, publish inspirations (photos of personal notes and clips of other website's text/images), collect inspirations and save them into public boards, synthesise inspirations into prototypes and collaborate on these prototypes within a board.
It works like this: I login and follow topics. I get content recommendations. I save what I like in my personal profile (just like on Pinterest boards). Moreover, I can add long-form text and images to each board to summarise my inspirations and showcase early stage prototypes as a synthesis of my inspirations. People who are on my inspiration boards are notified to discuss what I did with their posts (how I was inspired by their posts to form my idea and create a prototype). Moreover, those people who are inspiration sources to me are encouraged to collaborate and build on my prototype.
聽起來像是個人董事會網絡。因此，配置文件。這是社交網絡自早期以來所擁有的，但它們並不專注於原型設計。因此，從原則上講，這將是原型的社交網絡嗎？
這些建議將如何產生？由於建議是社交網絡服務提供商（甚至包括Google，YouTube等）成功的重要部分，因此建議的質量是成功與否的原因。例如，彼得·迪亞曼迪斯（Peter Diamandis）最近啓動了[FutureLoop]（https://www.futureloop.com/），它基本上什麼都沒做，但推薦新聞。推薦引擎可能是必不可少的，但是如果不指定它將如何執行那些推薦，則可能很難判斷該網絡將如何發展/成功。
// People use this app to get inspired from diverse pool of strangers, publish inspirations (photos of personal notes and clips of other website's text/images) [...] in public boards [...]
Sounds like network of personal boards. So, profiles. It's what social nets had since early days, but they didn't focus on prototyping. So, would this be, in principle, a social net, for prototyping?
// [...] I get content recommendations. [...]
How would these recommendations be generated? Being that recommendations are essential part of the success of social web service providers, even Google, YouTube, etc., the quality of recommendations is the reason why something succeeds or not. For example, Peter Diamandis had recently launched FutureLoop, which does essentially nothing but recommend news. The recommendation engine may be essential, but without specifying how it would do those recommendations, it may be hard to judge how would this network evolve / succeed.
//一個用於原型製作的社交網絡？ //
是的，使社交網絡更有意義。人們在Twitter，Instagram等上關注其他人，目的是“消費信息”，而對此卻無所事事。
但是真正的學習是在利用這些信息做事時出現的。與項目中的關注者協作時，才能建立真正的聯繫。因此，這將是一個通過原型製作事物與人們進一步瞭解的地方。
通常，人們在經過數月/數年的在線會議後便進入了項目階段，但是技術可以加快“讓我們一起創造彼此的過程”。
// a social net, for prototyping? //
yes, making social networking more meaningful. people follow others on Twitter, Instagram, etc for a purpose of "consuming information" and often not doing anything about it.
but true learning comes when doing something with that information. and true connection is made when collaborating with a follower on a project. so, this would be a place to get to know people closer by prototyping things.
also, typically, people get into a project stage after months/years of meeting online, but tech could speed up "a process of let's get to know each other by creating together".
//這些建議如何產生？ //
我在該社交網絡上發佈的所有內容都用標籤標記（例如，我爲網站上的每個博客選擇一個類別）。
例如如果我發佈有關“數字日記的想法”的信息，則將其標記爲“筆記記錄”。如果發佈有關“花園辦公室的想法”的文章，則將其標記爲“在家工作”和“建築”。等等。
這樣，對相同主題感興趣的人就會發現我。
側面思考：開始使用該應用時，需要向人們介紹爲帖子加標籤的良好做法，以便他們獲得良好的推薦並吸引合適的關注者。
// How would these recommendations be generated? //
everything I post on this social network, I tag with a label (like a I choose a category for each blog on my site).
e.g. if I post about "an idea of a digital diary", I tag it with "note taking". if I post about "an idea of a garden office", I tag it with "work from home" and "architecture". and so on.
this way, people who are interested in same topics discover me.
side thought: people will need to be introduced to a good practice of labelling their posts when starting to use the app, so that they get good recommendations and attract the right followers.
