Hello Wendy,
I am having fun getting familiar with social samba, which allows some users to create stories in which other users can intervene as a character at a predefined interaction level : yes no; sure unsure... In this perspective, the trick consists in letting users encircled by a "society" of fictional characters to give them a sensation of ongoing conversation. brilliant!
in the Socrator; the trick is to let users define completely the interaction. As a visitor of a given conversation prepared by another user, you simply feel like having a chat; or experimenting a search engine which takes the whole semantics into account. (my work should not be taken for the semantic web which hopes to get semantics out of a regular website while I stress on letting people creating conversations from the very start)
I am very interested in getting into contact with your samba friends because the idea of letting users engulfed among other predefined characters to entertain a conversational feeling could be a very good option to add in our motor...and wow, the site does look great
But without financial resources, it is a lot of "slaving" here; hope to get feedback on that too in air list
Best,

Hello Peter,
I am glad to see the first answer from the mailing list, I am of course very willing to pursue the development of the Socrator with my team, especially as a phd student. It is too late this year for submission to the annual AOIRL conference, I will keep me updated for next submissions.

Good morning, Laetitia,
Organizations like this one are a good start, you might consider attending the AOIR yearly conference and networking with others about your ideas. Other associations (ICA-International Communication Association, comes to mind) would also provide you with the chance to discuss your ideas with interested people. This software sounds promising, and I hope you'll continue developing this work.
Kindly, Peter

Dear scholars,
I am a freshly gradutated master student in digital culture (ex humanistic informatics) from the University of Bergen in Norway. I presented a master thesis describing the vision I had of a new kind of social software you will find different from the existing twitters, facebook and co. Me and my small team of engineers have been developing the Socrator : "Upload your idea and make it chat!"
Shortly, the Socrator is a motor for conversations
- some users create and store interactive conversations on any topic, uploading all kinds of multimedia material they find necessary to the conversation - other users are meant to have these conversations: they access this material by having a chat with the Socrator
-Søkrat was a java desktop prototype for 2 years during the elaboration of my master thesis -now the Socrator is becoming web technology and will have much more elaborated skills ( sept 2012 first version)
I was wondering if any of you heard about strategies to get financial support in IT projects from the European Union (i am French) or from scandinavian governments (but the whole team leaves in Norway)
Naturally; I am also open to propositions for articles or conferences I could use as a platform to describe the Socrator technology
The student lifestyle doesn't get what big ideas are about! hehe Looking forward to see your answers private email at laetitia@socratons.com
