“The Query — what I want”

The Social Graph — who I am, who I know

The Status Update — what I’m doing, what’s happening

The Check-In — where I am

The Purchase — what I buy

The Bookmark – represents what we wish for

“…And that’s why, compared to the other signals that comprise the Database of Intentions — The Query, The Social Graph, The Status Update, The Check-In, and The Purchase — The Bookmark can be frustrating.

The Social Graph and The Purchase map the past;

The Query, The Status Update, and The Check-In map the present.

They’re accurate. They’re reliable. They’re sensible.

They’re also limited.

Past is almost always prelude, but it doesn’t capture the ways in which we’re willing to change.”
