Aw, shame. The fuss on declarative living has died down somewhat… and I had this draft on WordPress I was saving until I could get down to writing a really good article about it. Might as well post these thoughts now, perhaps something will come of it some time.
Consider it a declaration of intent 😉
Thoughts for a future post…
– Declarative living is about much more than uploading preferences
– Depends on roles – what persona is being declared – cf duping Google, duping Audioscrobbler
– Non-declaration is also a tool – publication of reader figures, punching more than one’s weight
– Pre-requisite to engagement is to declare interface
– Declaration, like service, goes all the way down
– Passive declaration by blogging, active declaration needs to be more than it is
– In future, declaration of capabilities to enable service interface
– Agreed that (anonymous) declarative mechanism could replace surveys, charts (Audioscrobbler)
– Dig out blogging is narcissism post
