Time Factor

p2pfoundation has an interesting post about the importance of time as a dimension in social networking technology. My concept of Rhizome Navigation includes some of these thoughts. Simply spoken Rhizome Navigation transforms measurements of (unix) time(stamps) and visualizes them as a graph. That means it substitutes the room dimension with the time dimension. That's possible and even useful, because there is no relation to physical space in virtual rooms. That means the representation of space in virtual reality is an empty variable which we can use and fill with some kind of metaphor. A useful metaphor. However, some simply don't get it.
