This interconnectivity between users will not just go away, but will actually increase as more technologies are created to interact with the collective intelligence of the planet.
One particular tool that is currently growing is Twitter which has the potential to become more than just a communication tool. Twitter is still in an early infant state, and because of this we believe that Twitter has the potential to grow into a significant hivemind component of Earth's internet brain for the forseeable future. At this point, Twitter's potentials are huge and relatively unexplored.
The interface shared by both the Twitter.com and advanced "desktop" clients such as TweetDeck are begging for a drastic improvement: a system of adaptive filters that manage the presentation of a potentially large, loud, and noisy "firehoses" of streaming data being pumped and replicated across the system. These will involve more than simple on/off switches: they will resemble interactive "graphical equalizers" of data that can smoothly tune in-to and out-of certain "frequencies" or features of incoming, ambient, and archived media streams.
Already, services like Tweetdeck and Twittree attempt to provide new ways to organize data. Yet we believe all of the present systems are relatively archaic in comparison to how the internet is evolving. We propose its time for a revolution, a revolution in human-computer interfaces and data experiences.
Imagine being in a room with 30 people and everyone is having a random walk conversation with everybody else. It becomes nearly impossible to follow a thoughts development through the room if you can't map out the interactivity the people have with each other, this is why I believe the best solution to this is mapping out all the interactions in a fractal space - 2D or 3D, or a combination of both. This allows objects to be scaled arbitrarily, relative to eachother.
A single thought or a twit ("thit"=spontaneous thoughts expressed as twits) can be presented as part of a neural web that interlinks them in all meaningful ways. This level of interactivity not only gives you the ability to see how people are interacting with any particular thought but how others are interacting with their thoughts about your thoughts.
