Meta-meta JibberJobber
April 5th, 2007 by David Weinberger
Ok, so maybe a little blogging today…live from Union Station in DC.
Tristant Louis points to JibberJobber, a site that aggregates personal info from all those other personal info sites you’ve logged onto, liked LinkedIn and Plaxo. It’s all part of the continuous meta-oneupmanship we’re seeing as we pull together the info we’re dispersing like Johnny Appleseeds with holes in our seed bags.

Do you recall the first time you saw your own name appear on another site thanks to Amazon? Shook me for a moment, that did.
It’s aggregation of a fractilinear sort. So long as I can get my hands on individual switches and valves, I’m all for it! (I thought Twitter’s one-line badge showed the guys’ real understanding of how.things.work in the real world.)
Whales sing to one another … folk in the Kalahari sing to one another … monkeys and apes sing and shout at one another. It’s the thing to do!
FWIW: I answered “Twitter is …” with something like “It’s about following a friend you see who has a piece of toilet paper stuck to their shoe.”
I need a site to manage all of meta-digital-identity-site-management sites.
Also, I need to make a yahoo pipe to mashup my tumblr, jaiku, twitter, and feeburner feeds featuring my flickr and delicious and blog feeds, without any duplication.
david, thanks for the shout-out! Short, sweet and to the point!
