Huminity

October 29th, 2004

Huminity:

“Huminity is an instant messaging chat software that combines in it full social networking capabilities. It can be installed on any Windows running PC. After installing Huminity and creating a personal contact-tree, Huminity becomes your 6-degree chat software. You can navigate your global map of personal connections, have private chats and chat in chat rooms.

The contact-tree displays a person’s social map (when the person is centered in the center). Navigating the map of connections is simple and intuitive. Clicking on a contact or a user twice will move them to the center of the map and create their web of connections around them. In this way, you can navigate from one person to the other and explore the magnificent uniqueness of people - social ties.”

Oooooooooooh. I must try this out. Here’s an idea. How about we try to get any librarians who are attending Internet Librarian to use it, and we can all communicate while in the different sessions? Question: Do all the rooms have wi-fi?

I’m going to download this tonight and play with it. If anyone wants to play along, give me a buzz (AOL IM - NYlibrarian). Also, imagine how useful this would be in a corporate environment.
