Re: [Ayatana] Unity - Web and People

We can try to evolve into your idea (which I think makes sense). I however dislike the idea of manual creation of groups and domains. It is not different from tagging. My Grandmother doesn't use tagging. But rather likes things sorted for her. The filter on top will be based on the "most visited domains" which is a good start if you ask me. With time we will find new ways of determining context and content of websites.

Hello Seif,

I just thought that grouping webpages by domain wouldn't be as valuable as grouping by context. It may be more productive to let users manually create groups of domains, something like folders of bookmarks found on browsers. This would be along the same idea of groups of people set on Telepathy, which is great.

This could be a long shot, but I wonder if we can have a repository that defines the contexts of websites. This idea wouldn't be too far from social bookmarking services. This service will predefine the context, but the user can tweak them anytime to fit his personal needs. This is big. If we find a way to make this happen, that would be an awesome way to experience the web.

The same thing goes with other types of content, like apps. There are predefined groups (Web, Music, Games, etc.), but it's nice if the user can tweak how apps are grouped for a more optimal, tailor fit experience.

This is cool stuff, Seif. Thanks for your awesome work on Zeitgeist.

Hey Allan,
Using context (rather content, since my definition of context is different) would be difficult, I have no idea how to extract whether the website is about games or research.

The "filter tabs" allow you to filter the bookmarks, history etc in a specific domain. So you can view your facebook history as habbits or your ones on twitter.

Cheers
Seif

Looks good Seif!

I'll see if I can help you with the information design and send some wireframes within the week.

I just have a feedback to the web history view. The "filter tabs" include All, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, etc. Shouldn't they be "contexts" or something similar instead of specific websites? The categories can be Work, Social Networking, Research, Games, etc.

This post will be about Unity stuff I am interested (and maybe start working on), I am not a designer but I can give it a bit of a kick off by implementing zeitgeist-powered backends.
Currently the Zeitgeist integration into the Unity Shell is limited upon files and Applications, but we can offer more. I was thinking of ways to enhance Unity with web activity as well as chat activities.
I gave it a bit of a thought how would Unity look like that integrates with Telepathy:

Although the information needed is already available in Telepathy we also have them in Zeitgeist, yet I recommend using Telepathy for this Mock-up.
Also a view for Web history is essential for my needs:

For this we already have Firefox and Chrome plugins that dump the needed information into Zeitgeist.
I think the pictures are pretty self explanatory. Let me see where I can get with those, and hope to get some feedback from the community.
