About this Blogsphere:

This blogsphere attempts to capture, catalog and share resources relating to visual perception of information. It is about a world mostly dealing with Physical (Touch, Taste, See/Sight, Smell and Hear) and sometimes Metaphysical (and that is none-of-the-above category). Physical, for instance, touch (e.g., feel, felt, found), look and visualization, is here with an attempt to combine verbal, vocal and visual--to synchronously see, hear, share and do much more. Interestingly, in order to visualize one does not need special skills, competencies, etc. It is all about common sense, especially with human visualizations. In short, "information is in the eye of the beholder." Continue reading much more all-ado-about this Blogosphere

    Visualizing Level of Access & Level of Trust - Another Trendsetter in Social Networking


    Extract: "To do so, WhoDoYouKnowAt offers a unique "Levels of Trust" system which allows your online relationships to more accurately reflect those in the real world. With each connection, you can set their "Level of Trust" to reflect your real life relationship. For example, when sharing a contact's information with some folks, you can choose to remain anonymous. With your more trusted relationships, however, you can choose to share all your network information. For those close connections who you want to invite into your trusted network, you can invite them to "pair" with you, meaning you'll mutually exchange all your contact information. Unlike with LinkedIn, you don't "pair" (aka "friend" or "connect") with all your contacts - just the designated trusted ones.
