What If… – Garrick van Buren

….email apps didn’t consider reading and writing separate modes?
…you could post to your blog, from mine?
…your online profile was filled out by your friends?
…Popularity was measured by the size of the group of people that are everywhere you are.
…only robots exchanged messages on Twitter.
…I stopped getting distracted by hypotheticals?

UPDATE 19 May 2011

“How can you tell if the person at the other end is real or a kid in Guatemala or Malaysia being paid by the message to engage with people to help build cred for some spam-issuing Twitter account?” – Dave Winer

I love the idea of your friends defining your profile — that is almost the way it is in real life, the people we hang out with tell our story for us.

The popularity thing would make me even less popular than I already am. Deep thoughts though.
