Graham Chastney 2.0

It seems to be really popular these days to create a 2.0 of everything, so I was wondering whether I ought to think about a Graham Chastney 2.0.

It’s proved to be an interesting question.

If I could move from a Version 1.0 me to a Version 2.0 me what would change.

As with the whole Web 2.0 thing, nothing would go away, it would just be added to. So Graham Chastney 2.0 would be Graham Chastney 1.0 with a load of additional services. I’d still have to do all of the old things that I used to do, but I’d have a whole load of new things to do each ending in ‘r’.

Graham Chastney 1.0 needs sleep – Graham Chastney 2.0 would have sleepr. Web 2.0 services are better than Web 1.0 services because they are more interactive and so sleepr would be better than sleep because I would still be awake, allowing people to interact. Because I would still need to support sleep, I would still do that during the night, sleepr would be an extra service that I would offer during other hours.

Graham Chastney 1.0 needs exercise – Graham Chastney 2.0 would have exerciser. Exerciser, being an interactive service would only be available as a team experience.

Graham Chastney 1.0 needs his family – Graham Chastney 2.0 would have familyr. Because family is already quite interactive, familyr would bring in a whole new set of capabilities aimed at creating social networks extending beyond family. This would simply be a closer integration of the friends service and the family service. Perhaps it’s tag line would be familyr = family + friends.

Graham Chastney 1.0 works in an online and offline manner currently. In order to deliver the extra capabilities required for Graham Chastney 2.0, these service would only be available online.

The information that is currently being processed by Graham Chastney 1.0 is not that easy to get to, particularly the personal reflections that are kept in the journal. In Graham Chastney 2.0 journal would be enhanced by a new service journalr. Journalr would be available via RSS to anyone who wants access. They would also be able to comment on journalr and see everyone else’s comments.

(Perhaps I’ll stick with Graham Chastney 1.0)
