Modifying, Deleting and Realization

The main point of this project is to intimately connect people and places. I feel as if some people may want to share things that they do not feel comfortable with, so i should add some kind filter where a persons details can be excluded.

But, i also do not want people to use misuse it in the sense of spam. "Misuse" in the sense of using mapping for different purposes I don't so much mind because I think people should be serious, but have serious fun too! Therefore hopefully within the filtering system you will be able to get exactly what you want, because the project will rely on experiences, memories, stories, (with pics etc), so people should have fun.

today, i was thinking about the kind of "functions" the site would offer. I want there to be a tool palette where people can draw in the area of the their stories, then tag them, but I was thinking about modifying most of all. I think once an experience is set, that unless there are some errors, that modifying it defeats the purpose. telling a story, then feeling bad and then redoing it seems weird because though its about networking and community and yourself it's about creating the future's history (and history also - if i went to bar harbor when i was 8 to the zoo, and got bit by a fox, that could be just as valid as last night)

I also want to avoid this feeling too Bloggy. though i think blogs are great, (LIKE THIS ONE!) I feel as if the intention of my project is different than just Blogging. I understand blogs are experiences, and you can now tag blogs, but blogs also have a certain connotation, that i wouldn't mind having a slice of, but not the whole project. blogs exists already, and maps exists already, i want to do more than just combine them though, I want to create a community, network, and place feel like they can come daily to share parts of their minds with each other.

Therefore, functions is what this post is about. function of the site as in purpose, then of course functions that should be included. Key terms that come up when thinking about community contribution sites include : edit delete add etc. which are good ones, but i have high hopes for this project, like i said with the "emotion" project, i want this to feel like more than a site, but a "home" in the sense of the word home, not just a homepage.

More on functions when I read more about what feels good and not. And at some point soon, i am going to ask some people to read my blogs and see what they think, and get feedback from potential future users.
