An Idea: The Social Media Algebra
I used to be very good at maths. I really was. Then I started studying computer science stuff (which is normal for a computer scientist) and as time goes by, I forgot many of the coolest stuff I learned when I was a student. For eg. language theories, logic, algebra…
Yesterday, maybe driven by a kind of nostalgia, I had an idea and submitted it to the wisdom of crowds on FriendFeed. I called it the SMA: Social Media Algebra. What I wanted, and hope someone will help me build it is: a formalism, a mathematic formulation of social media notions ; a theory.
Why? To be honnest, I admit that I currently don’t have any precise clue on how to fomalize this idea, and make it alive, but what I’m sure of is that with a set of mathematic tools we can all innovate, and most important of all: be able to demonstrate things, and understand social media behaviors without all the intense arguments of literature-ish discussions.
Is the SMA doable? Yes, SURE it is! Will it be useful, I bet so. Will you help? Tell me :)
