Web Moving From User Centricity to Icentered Way
Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Google, cloud computing, mobile web offer us an always on, accessible,
knowledgeable social world, that keeps us connected physically and socially.
In the intersection between social graphs and interest graphs new relations between people and
content are created. He assumes that different consumer segments need different technological
support tools. In distinguishing between traditional, online and social consumers, users become
stakeholders in the attention economy, as they draw their information not only from different content
and social resources, but refine their relevant interactions through communication tools such as tweets,
retweet, comment all create a very different user experience.
From an Icentered point of view, where I (the digital I of each user) strive for an adaptive web, tailored
to personal choices and preferences – the human link of the single user still has a long way to go.
User centricity is about us, people. Yet it still takes a systemic view that we interact with those tools and
infrastructures, and how we become more immersed in this ubiquitous web.
Taking a different prism, an inside- out lens, the Icentered one, makes it more humanized. From that
point of view it’s about us as people, not just users – centered or captive. To truly personify our web
experiences, a deeper degree of individual personal signature should be called for.
Our personal data, real-time experience and interest based social graphs empower more humane social
experiences, but the missing link is still personal context. Social humanification in smaller groups, such
as the one offered by Flink12 that humanizes the social experience by creating social circles of no more
than 12 people , is easier, because it reflects real life circles of interaction ad is initiated and moderated
directly by users.
We need to control and manage more than just users’ privacy settings in various sites. We need to
control in the same way Flink12 empowers us to connect at will people close to us around a specific
subject, to connect our identity, data and sharing options from various sites around a topic that interests
us in an inclusive holistic way that reflects us in our interactions around that topic. This translates to
Contexting us, people, and not just a single thread of content. In such a Icentered reality, when I am in
full possession of my personal information, meshing all my interactions around a specific topic within a
specific interweb.
I, the individual user, am the glue that interconnects one inclusive context around many interwebs and
allow an individual prismatic view of a thread/experience/ topic/action.
Once I, the individual user, create my personalized story, it is the context that makes it unique and turns
the overwhelming over pour of the liquid web into a humane selective experience.
