Valentines App

Lately I have been pondering ways to integrate all social media into one dashboard interface.

Now that is not a very original thought I know, but wouldn’t it be nice to have one interface to rule them all?

I think the trick would be to have automated content generation or posting, a measure of ‘success’ of your efforts, alerts and warning when needed, and learning algorithms working on your behalf to make your efforts more effective and efficient.

For example, if the Klout metric is your thing (i.e. you want a high online status amongst a shit-load of people that you don’t know) then this measure could be used by a learning algorithm to post content in just the right way to boost your ego.

If connectivity to friends and family is your thing, then auto-bounce replies for all of them could be constructed, with minimal human intervention. But just enough to let them know there is a human involved. This could be the Queen Bee metric.

If you have a needy partner then an algorithm could measure their inputs and ratchet up the replies, of the right nature, to assuage their fears. You don’t increase your own security by increasing the sense of insecurity in others. Call this the Valentine’s metric.
