“Recently fascinated by what researchers call “information states” and “dynamic semantics”. Implies future analysis of human speech, including on-the-fly document retrieval and knowledge construction. All that discovered after a “wrong” Google result. Crazy keywords!”

“

While getting a suite of services up and running, I created a Google Profile to compliment the rest of my site(s). It made room for personality and humour, including space for more rare or ill-fitting links, such as “reading” or “viewing”, etc.

I included too much in my profile. I’m still working on it. But that exercise made it clear to me: a great profile can serve as the first or final point in a group’s documentation and web presence. Done well, a profile is all we need.

In civil society, profiles are what we share literally and figuratively. Our profiles overlap with others. People know or intimate your profile. We pass on profiles for better understanding. Not only people, but places, organizations, periods, and events, too, can be profiled. It’s a simple executive decision. Profile the subject.

How do profiles enable action?
