love past 2.0
at reboot 8 I met Maya Lotan, who introduced her one year thesis ( called Urbanseeder) on the subject of “flirting focusing on the role of technology as a mediator to find love”.
at Lift07 the ever lovely dancing queen Maya Lotan was present again. This time around Urbanseeder had evolved into a flirty social network (almost going beta), which is designed to “give destiny a little push”.
Robert Scoble interviewed her for his Scobleshow on PodTech.net
here’s the video :
So – why do I name this blogpost “love past 2.0″? . Because Urbanseeder is another example of a social network going airborn – meaning that it is using 1st life presence as a part of it’s flirtatious game.
it works like this :
I think this is a very creative and potential way for social networks to transide outside of the web. It seems like it still has the web administration and network. This transition to 1st life, and the creativity and mindgame, that you get when you hunt people and seeds are absolutely brilliant.
So no more dull dating sites where people can turn themselves into a character they are really not! – I really think that this is a very interesting way that online flirting is evolving.
I would also claim that Urbanseeder has the web as a second source of information – because the action is happening with the seeding in the field and the mindgames between the people envolved.
And Maya – please hurry and make it beta – I can’t wait to play around with this community !
Ohh and if you want something really cute 2.0 and you’re not quite ready for urban seeder – you can see my photoalbum on love here
