I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for a couple weeks now: community as your operating system.  If you need to find the answer to something or produce some kind of ‘knowledge object’ (I can’t think of a better word) you can run queries against your network of amateur experts – your very own community operating system.

For those that are connected on their internets, making queries, running scripts, and returning/printing the results is not that much different than asking questions and getting answers back from your network – this process happens within a whole ecosystem fueled by the electricity of knowledge/information exchange, millions of calculations/conversations stored in the memory of people’s own experiences.

Dialogue is the developer platform.

Just some thoughts I’ve had around this idea.
