"Great post Chris. I love when we find these great insights and inspirations for our work in our personal experiences. Skrillex is awesome. I've been hooked o him too lately. You should check out another DubStep artist, Flux Pavillion. I'm loving his music too. Thanks for sharing!"

"Touch of Evil and Sunset Boulevard are two incredible classics known for their opening scenes. They are both amazing. If you haven't seen these films I dare you to do so."

"I look forward to watching the next season and following along with this great new site; even though the navigation is on the right. I expect that The Perennial Plate is going to become the only comedy I like to watch. That's not to say that killing animals is funny but a vegetarian with a Thin Mint addiction who films animals being killed is funny."

"Thanks for sharing this! I think it's a great idea. It connects the ad to the audience in more ways than a traditional ad would. The audience seemed amazed and when I'm amazed with something I share it. I expect that the word of mouth marketing that happened because of this was significant. Also, I don't think it's subliminal, brainwashing or otherwise devious. I think this is a great example of making an ad an experience. In this case I believe it's the experience that adds value. Both to the company and the consumer."

"Great thinking MG! But nothing new. Chris Messina did a Concept Series for Mozilla. http://mzl.la/a6UgB0 Hell, I've even written about the signing into the browser and digital identity. http://bit.ly/bjJUmN What's perplexing is how long it's taking for the magic to happen. Technological advances are supposed to be fast why haven't all of the browsers offered a sign in feature? Consider 1Password and how it works with multiple browsers. Will someone create an identity management system which will work with all browsers and be accepted by the masses?"

"Chris, This seems like another case of the chicken or the egg. In order to create a valuable experience which utilizes semantic data, the data has to exist. I imagine that a feed reading app which improves the the experience through the classifications provided by Activity Streams would be awesome. My worry is that if the data isn't there the app would fall quite a bit short of awesome. It might be interesting to utilize the Cliqset FeedProxy to start in hopes that publishers would eventually take on the role that Cliqset provides. If Google Reader were to implement something like FeedProxy wouldn't that increase the awareness of the benefits of Activity Streams? I do think that it's up to the bigger name companies like Google, Twitter and Facebook to help standardize the "Semantic Web." Thanks for sharing your thoughts."

"Great catch Erik! I hadn't even counted the all off state. I think you've got a valuable point about the processing levels of individuals and their ability to understand complex signals. I hope that we can find the right type of signals to communicate identity and social information to a breadth of processing levels. I don't agree with your point on standardization. I believe you are right about the need to create a language which serves the needs of the lowest common denominator. It would not be as easy for users to adapt between a variety of browsers if each had its own signal system . If identity was easily portable and users could access information from a variety of browsers on a variety of devices, the consistency of signals would provide an overall better experience. I especially believe that this will be true as the methods for gathering information become less active and more passive. A variety of browsers with a variety of signals brings me back to the days when Macs and PCs..."
