“I used to have to sit down at my computer with intent.
I was taking time to go do something online.
And it felt more like hunting or exploring.
Nowadays it’s much more often a passive experience of consumption.
Scrolling on my phone hoping something interesting will come to me via one of the few sites I regularly visit.
I could still go hunting for the niche stuff,
but it’s just so easy to scroll a little bit more.”

“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.”
