Global Consciousness Stream Developer NoteAims, ethics, and objectivity... - Version: 1.0, 3/15/2005 12:28PM PST

These are good questions to ask.

The aim of this application is only to data mine the vast number of messages within the GC database. This Channel is purely for coolness factor. I did this for GC because I've been playing around with Sherlock Channels and thought it would be an interesting use of the technology.

The ethics of running a service like this, well, I stick to my guns. Any registration info is NOT shared. The security is excellent. I don't know about you, but I have dedicated a serious portion of my life to making GC work. I haven't gotten paid a dime for it. It is for the love of people and technology.

The messages that people post are of their own design. There is no censorship. I am sure they have their own agendas with purely non-journalistic subjective view points. That's the beauty of it. Everyone gets heard. It is a point of sharing and commonality.

Individuals want to be connected. This is another way, however oblique anyone construes it.

About this kind of applications,
you must check its aim and server manager's ethics.
Does it belong with journalistic rules or the childish play?

The above description could say more. The "download" link directly launches your sherlock with this third party channel that displays text quotations from random folks around the globe like you. (Ok. you are anything but random). It also has a link to a site where you can type in your own quote to be viewed by others on this channel.
