Sounds possible, but far from simple or straight forward. The key is
inventing (or leveraging) an as much decentralized architecture and
communication protocols as can be (Diaspora?!?), allowing for all that
tiddly-chatter, i.e. tiddlernauts being able to tie otherwise lose ends
together.
Eventually, communication goes two ways. So, people want...
- to *link *their tiddlers with others, thus reliably pull (references
to) other's tiddlers into their storyline
- decide how and with whom (not) to *share *tiddlers
- to whitelist desireables and blacklist undesireables
- have circles, groups, friend-lists
- of course, you can't stop drag-n-drop or copy-pasta
- be *notified* when connections do stuff and decide what to be notified
about by whom
- form interest groups focusing on *topics*
- if only "weekend trip to Oxford" or perhaps also that "biggest
TiddlyGroupies group ever" :)
- using tools like *tagging* throughout a TiddlyVerse rather than an
encapsulated personal wiki
However, the very doors to social seem to always open with a key called
"authentication".
You want (some) control over whom to talk to and how... otherwise it's
quickly just noise.
TiddlySpace, for example, is such a door.
With TiddlyWiki5, I believe, we're currently looking at a somewhat blank
canvas with social,
which is both, a great opportunity, but also a major challenge, perhaps
*the* challenge.
TiddlyDrive may indeed be(come) a project to hook things up more closely
with a third-party authentication provider, thus perhaps inventing ways to
manage access controls and perhaps leverage the communication platform that
google is to create interactive, talkative tiddly-chatter... not "just" a
cloud-based-tiddler-store.
There sure also is TiddlyWeb / TiddlySpace bringing huge potentials for
TiddlySocial ...to TiddlyWiki5, perhaps in more powerful ways than is
already possible in a TiddlyWikiClassic on TiddlySpace, with enhanced
sharing, notifications, groups, topics, etc...
For TiddlyWiki, I think, all that social TiddlyCloud is ...way out there.
You're maybe looking years before that hits the front door in a way that
Joe and Jane will think: Wow, that's easy, and sooo powerful!
Best wishes, Tobias.
