`
`Hi Judith,
`
`Athabasca University is currently looking at new ways to connect our
`students to our institution. We would like the 'new way' to be via
`the Web but we have certain requirements. The most important one being
`that students must continue to participate in conferences. I found
`your pages on The Sociable Web and feel it may fit the bill. Could you
`please send me some more information about it or possibly a beta copy
`that I can take a look at. The platform would be Windows clients
`talking to a Web server running on DEC Alpha OSF/1 version 3. For testing
`purposes, the client and server could both be under Windows.
`
`Take a look at us ... http://www.athabascau.ca
`
`Please respond ASAP since our timelines are tight. Thanks for your time.
`
`Terry

`
`Judith,
`
`I'm excited about both your postcard server and the
`collaboration-at-at-glance work. I can envision applications of
`both these ideas and I'd like to talk to you about them and see a
`demonstration of collab-at-a-glance.
`
`For the postcard server I see a commercial application using the First
`Virtual Holdings Internet Payment System. Of course one would have to
`use images that could be resold instead of those from the WebLouvre.
`
`Collaboration-at-a-glance could be used for review and editing of
`documents or drawings. Some of the questions I have are about the
`current functionality. I also want to see it work. I will be at the
`IETF meeting in Davers at the beginning of April. Seems like an
`appropriate time to stop by. Tues (4/4) am, Thur (4/6) late afternoon,
`or Sun (4/3) afternoon would suit my current schedule but I will
`accomodate your schedule as best I can.
`
`Looking forward to hearing from you.
`
`Best.../Ed

`Is there some way that I can get hold of the server code and put one

`Eric Harris (zonker@nando.net) brought your efforts to my attention and

`
` I
`
` have been developing a spec for a "Web Chat" very similar in concept to
`the Sociable Web and WebTalk. Seeing that your project is already in the
`prototype stage, we would much rather throw our weight behind what you
`are doing. It makes no sense for us to develop the same thing independently.
`
`How can we help and/or participate?
`
`We can certainly provide rigorous testing. Since we were on the verge of
`contracting out the coding of our own Web Chat, there may be a way to divert
`that funding. Or we might apply it in an area specific to your
`project such as porting your Motif clients into MS Windows and Macintosh
`clients.

`Subject: Sociable Web
`
` This is a note to inquire about the status of Sociable Web. How
`close are you to putting it into general release? Would you consider
`putting it out in limited release?
` I ask because I am going to be teaching a course, a beginning
`criticism class for freshman and sophmore art majors, starting in the
`second half of January, over the Net. (The students will be at a campus 40
`miles away from the University Park campus were I am.)
` The Sociable Web sounds, from the presentation I read from the WWW
`conference in Chicago, like the tool I need to make it work. My plan, until
`I read your paper, was to have all the students construct their own
`homepage, link their papers and images to it, and share it with me and the
`rest of the class. We would comment about them over email and a chat line.
`What you have worked out sounds like it would be much more graceful to use
`and would allow for the kind of ease and flow I am trying to put into the
`course. It is the first I have taught this way and no one else here has
`done anything like this, so if you have any suggestions or recommendations
`I'd appreciate them.
` Thanks for your time.

`Judith, this is really something!
`as the CEO of The Municipal Reporter (a bi-weekly newspaperin Oslo
`Norway) I have been looking for this type of realtime IRC/chat/talk
`function inside of a webserver for the past year.
`I visited Ubique in Israel (at the Weizman Institute) to look at their
`Sesame browser and server and decided it was too early.
`This looks like it is it!
`
` I
`
` am trying to put together
`- a library with links to documents and places,
`- a bulletin board with asynchronous discussions between readers, and
`- a conference room for online discussions in realtime,
`for each of the 7 or 8 recurring subjects our newspaper deals with
`(education, environment, social/health issues and so on)
`
`the links are the normal html
`the bulletin board is the hypermailer as is used by Timeinc.
`and the conference room was missing inside the web until now!
`
`Now thew questions:
`will this be available in the coming year?
`anyone working on a commercial version?
`what about authentication of users?
`what about moderated discussions?
`
`thanks a lot for your answers in advance

`Subject: Test idea for social web
`
` Hi. I came across your SocialWeb project page and noticed the comment
`about giving you ideas for using social web. I operate a simple kids'
`page in Denver, Colorado called "Kids'Net" (not to be confused with the one
`in D.C.) Originally it was just an index of
`WWW pages for kids 8-12 (you can find it in the "lunch room" of Kids'Net at
`http://rmii.com/~pachecod/kidsnet/ckids.html/). Then I found a public WWW
`bulletin board system I could link to that allowed me to create a
`discussion forum. Unfortunately this BBs, called GenBBS, is too clumsy and
`complicated
`for kids to really take advantage of it. I know they would converse more
`if they had a simple, user-friendly interface such as SocialWeb.
` Obviously, I'm not a member of a wealthy university and
`thus don't have a permanent IP address. I do this all through my dynamic
`SLIP account at Rocky Mountain Internet in Colorado Springs, CO.
` I don't have a server YET, although with a permanent connection my Macintosh
`can function as one. Therefore, would it be possible when you begin testing
`this product to try it out on Kids'Net? I have no way of tracking the number
`of kids who come through the service since it's running off someone else's
`server, but every week about 6 kids send me mail through a mailto gateway
`I created in Kids'Net. I also notice an average of 3 postings a week
`in the GenBBS bulletin board.
` If that's not enough to motivate you, perhaps this will. I'm also a
`staff writer for The Denver Post. It was just announced that we're going
`on line, and I will likely be a part of that transition. I'm very intersted
`in creating
`chat areas that can be created and destroyed at will for every story we print.
`Perhaps we can create a demo for the Post, which will give you some exposure
`and give me a chance to experiment.
`
` Thanks for listening.

`
`Dear Judith:
`
`I've noticed your significant project, The Sociable Web, and thought I'd
`write to inquire how we may be able to include it in our emerging
`educational pilot at Spring Garden Elementary School.
`
`I'm an free-lance Internet Publisher and Project Developer working from my
`home office here in Hampstead, in Carroll County, Maryland, just northwest
`of Baltimore. Together with my son's kindergarten teacher, Sylvia Griswold,
`we are championing putting the School on the Internet. We appreciate some
`of the other efforts of other schools throughout the country, especially
`that of Hillside Elementary in Cottage Grove, MN, among others.
`
`Our challenge is to not just to throw the school up on the Web, but to get
`the entire community involved in communicating and sharing information
`electronically. Hence the appeal of The Sociable Web and how I envision it
`might be a good benchmark tool to inspire interest.
`
`We've hacked out a handful of preliminary pages, focused around the home -
`you could peek at my son's at...
` http://www.charm.net/~mii/tyler/ ... and follow the links from there.
`
`Please give some consideration to participating in our pilot. We would
`appreciate your experience, and I'm sure the kids would benefit from your
`involvement.
`
`Best regards,
`Rusty

`

`
`
`three-time loser on you. Sheesh! How did life get so busy? Have you ever
`read a book called "More Work for Mother." Basic assertion: technology has
`only made more, not less work for women. Back to the point, the questions:
`
`
`1) Background: What is your function at MIT? Grad student? professor? What
`got you interested in the Web and made you decide to embark on the
`sociable web project? Arent' there enough spaces to chat online as it is?
`What will a SW WWW server do for you that these other "chat" spaces can't?
`
`2) What applications do you see your sociable web being put to, commercial
`and non-commercial? Have you had any nibbles from companies, organizations
`or individuals with specific ideas? (You dont' have to use their names if
`they'd rather remain anonymous. You can just say "an east coast banking
`chain would like to...")
`
`3) What will your SociableWeb client entail? Will it be larger (take more
`RAM and/or disk space) than a typical WWW client? Is it based on Mosaic?
`What functions, if any, will it add besides chatting? Will it put a greater
`strain on a WWW server?
`
`4) When do you hope to start testing? What will your first test site be like?
`
`5) Do you have a prototype up that I can take a stroll through to better
`describe the concept to my readers?
`
`6) What is the fate of the SocialWeb technology when it's complete? Will it
`move into the public domain? Does it belong to MIT? Is there any thought
`that MIT might license it? Is it your own technology? Hasn't Microsoft been
`sniffing around yet? (As well it should be.)
`
`
`7) Without sparing me the techno-talk, explain how the SocialableWeb works.
`I may not understand everything you say, but I'll be able to get a good
`deal of what you mean from context.
`
`8) Optional: What do you think of government funding of portions of the
`NII? Is it a good idea? A bad idea? What about Newt Gingrich's "Magna Carte
`for Cyberspace." What sort of an impact do you think he and the Republican
`Congress are likely to have the future of communications techology in the
`United States?

`
`
`Margie,
`
`Tomorrow (Friday) morning is a possibility - try calling me
`
`at home when you get in. Next week I have appointments by 9:00 your
`time most days. You can try me at the lab number I gave you in the
`afternoon (my time) but I can't guarantee that I'll be free to talk
`at any particular time. Monday between 1 and 2:30 or after 3:30
`should be good (253-5098).
`
`As for the questions, I'd rather not discuss particular
`
`companies and their interest in this work (or Newt Gingrich either).
`I think the most interesting issues are the concepts behind the
`Sociable Web.

`
` I
`
` understand if you'd rather not talk about Mr. Gingrich, but I'd really
`like to know about applications for the technology, even if you can't
`discuss the companies specifically. Otherwise, I'm afraid Sociable Web will
`just come off as academic rather than practical.

`
`Yes, I realize that. My apologies. I should have said "theoretical" rather
`than "academic." I am simply looking for ways it might be used.
`
`Look. I've been covering this whole area long enough to realize that there
`are a lot of companies out there, in fact, most companies, that would be
`thrilled if they could pipe Megabytes of data, video and advertising into
`your home and give you a band just wide enough to say "buy" or to pipe a
`credit-card number back to them. For the most part, these corporations
`aren't interested in getting people talking to the person next door. They
`aren't interested in fostering social interaction or stimulating us to
`think or (god forbid) stimulating us to some sort of political or social
`action. I think the Sociable Web (and other technology designed to let
`people talk to each other and to self-publish) is one step in the right
`direction. But it's an idea that I have to "sell." I have to somehow get
`execs to understand that it's not only the right thing to do, but it's the
`practical thing to do.

`Since our subscribers' copies of Digital Media are drop-shipped from the
`printer, they recieve Digital Media long before we do. We just received our
`bulk mailing last week and I've been in Dallas since then. I've asked our
`assistant to mail a copy to both you and the Media Lab, c/o Valerie Eames
`Minard. It may take a few more days for snail mail to "deliver for you."
`I wasn't ignoring you. Paper just takes time.
`
`Best
`

`
`Dear Margie -
`
`Just received the copy of Digital Media with your article on
`
`the Sociable Web. You did a fantastic job of explaining clearly
`what it is we are doing and what is the point of the research. Even
`without actually seeing the work, you discussed its most salient
`points. I'll let you know how it progresses.

`
`Dear Judith,
`
`I'm so happy that you are pleased with the article. You're a tough
`audience, glad to receive your critical acclaim and look forward to hearing
`about the progress of your research.
`
`I'd appreciate hearing from you if you run across other projects you think
`are worthy of interest.

`
` I
`
` saw the pointer to your project in the online marketplace newsgroup. It
`is the most exciting thing I've heard for the Web in months. What do I
`have to do to be a beta tester for you? Teleconferencing is the key
`component that has been missing from the web and from what I've seen of
`what you are doing, The Sociable Web is EXACTLY what the doctor ordered.
`
`Let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Eric Harris
`(zonker@nando.net). I'm managing editor of NandO.Net. We are doing a lot
`of work with online news and other experiments on the Web. (How's that
`for brief)
`
`Anyways, you are probably being bombed with mail, but we would love to
`work with you on this as soon as you are ready. My server is moving this
`weekend to a dedicated Sparc20 so i will have plenty of spare processing
`power and I would love to experiment with linking the large flow of news
`I am pushing to the Web with your chat client.
`
`I'll keep checking into your page for information, but if you are ready
`for beta testers please put us somewhere on the top of your list.
`
`thank you very much
