after any big party with excessively loud, sensory-exploding music, I feel a desire to curl up inside and be more reflective. it's the calm, quiet tunes that flow more regularly - the small enjoyments that piece together such a happy life. I like variation from time to time, but really - the flashing lights and booming bass amid meaningless yelps of 'yeah!' 'put your hands up!' or some other stupid content... really? excitement and thrill is good now and then, but put you can do that without having superficial banter. can't the world have a deep conversation?
it does have deep conversations. there are definitely communities like that. but what community am I striving to create?
--
how do we share fragments of our minds to the right people with just the perfect level of connection/intimacy? that would be a great thing to build a community around. like the private tumblr of yours - quickthots.tumblr.com - some slivers of thoughts (many inappropriate), but what purpose do they serve if they are completely private?
one reality is people don't care so much about others' rambling thoughts - or do they? they care about select people.
perhaps, you can make a game out of it. let the user leave a trail of breadcrumbs, a sequence of puzzles, that only someone who knew you in person and someone curious about your thoughts would go through. then, if they made it through, they'd be rewarded with the password to your private blog - where they can hence see private thoughts, musings, lalala.
an interesting product idea^^.
but who would be so vain? who would be so curious about another? am I? I would be curious about another friend - my good friends, mainly.
would anyone try me? probably not. but I can leave a trail anyway, and that'd be fun.
is this a viable community? is this a community that you would want to create?
