The social media client I want

The social media client I want

Things I want from a social media client:

My own algorithms/filters

I want to filter content in not just out, I want to do it by:

  • …people I don’t want to miss and the conversations they’re having with others I follow but don’t need to always pay attention to.
  • …keywords, but also give something like word2vec a training dictionary of documents important to me (eg full text of my browsing history, zotero library, and ebook library), find words related to the words I want (eg, tell it I want “open government” and it’ll also find “open data”, “civic tech”, and “transparency”).
  • …event- and time-based topics

{!-- The style guide is meant to be more than a reference for practical advice, stylistic rules, and examples of good practice. I am also trying to present an argument for the importance of digital scholarship in the form of apps, dissertations, webapps, and blogs. While aimed mostly at writing, I think it will eventually expand to include videos, audio, presentation slides, and such (oh my goodness, academics seriously need help with their slides).

The hard part is finding the right balance of argument and advice. It will presented as a website with its design/layout as an example template. It’s intended to be extremely opinionated, but modular, so others can pick pieces they wish to use as a foundation for their own style guides. (This is sort of a precursor to a modular pattern library for assembling style guides I’ve been wanting to build for content strategy work.)

I haven’t put in many of the citations and annotations, but they’re currently in {curly brackets}. --}
