UBIQUID.US
Our partnership with CIF (The Canadian Institute for the Future) is leading us down a swift path towards a new dynamic publishing platform, designed to build infrastructure in local communities by way of transmedia development and a robust microfinancing engine. Basically, we’re hoping to re-engineer the storytelling process and make it profitable (and equitable) for entire groups of people. In our humble belief, participatory culture is something that must be empowered if we want to affect real change in the near and long term. Look out for more details coming soon…
Calling all evangelists: quid pro quo!
ThinkState and a collective of agency and technology partners are developing what is described as a “social utility for business conversation” called UBIQUID.US. Under the premise of “you tell me, I tell you”, the concept was hatched as a means for aggregating and optimizing myriad social media conversations, allowing individuals to develop and share their voice without having to find those conversations across a dizzying array of blogs and forums, which most often are duplicitous with their content. Further, the utility will act as the ultimate social experiment – building off of a foundation of 10 advertising and media topics, people will then create their own categories and sub-categories; our hope is that the content tree grows to include everything from art to science to law and politics. The utility will function as part wiki, part (micro)blog, part bookmark, part portal and will offer things like micro-tagging and presentation export features, and most importantly…it will be free! Look out for a release in the coming few weeks…
