Social Network Marking
Posted: Fri Jan 26, 2007 10:37 am
This is similar to Connor Boyack's "google earth" suggestion.
Basically, you have an account on the scriptures site. Then you can highlight, annotate, and add links into, say, the Ensign, General Conference, etc (including audio/video links).
But, you can also add "friends" to your account. Then, while highlighting, annotating, and linking, you can view the marks of friends who have allowed you to add them to your list.
So now you can have a group of friends or close family "sharing" their scriptures. Kind of like the "Family Bible"
But you have the option of "turning off" the marks of other family members (like google earth).
The Church could also add in special "guest" marks from General Authorities, etc., just as another fun idea. These would be global instead of social options.
This combines the marking with a social aspect.
I know scripture marking can also be very personal, so you would want privacy options as well. Like, "share this mark with friends or don't" etc.
I have spoken with Stewart Foss over at ScriptureTag about similar ideas and I'm hoping to see them materialize at some point.
I'm willing to help any way I can ( PhD in CS).
Thanks!
