Forget liking, disliking, bookmarking and all these foreign sounding words. Imagine an activity feed which uses business verbs, gathered implicitly or explicitly from pointing, clicking and typing. I came up with this concept a while ago, and I believe it\x26#8217;s one of the best ways for social software to relate to everyday work.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x0a\x3cp\x3eFor each of these verbs - picture the use case for an employee in their day-to-day role. They can trigger, move between and do more with verbs, such as string verbs together in a workflow. For example - a blog post/wiki pages leads to someone \x26#8220;facilitating it\x26#8221; and then subsequent \x26#8220;commenting\x26#8221; and possible \x26#8220;reviewing\x26#8221; leading to a \x26#8220;conclusion\x26#8221; by the original facilitator. All from just a wiki page (or any URL) which had no states or wasn\x26#8217;t geared up for being the subject of a business-like discussion.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* edited\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eStandard functionality in most suites.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* commented\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eStandard functionality in most suites.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* responded\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eResponding needs a target i.e. someone was the target for a response. Hence a way to create this situation is to elicit a response from someone by \x26#8220;sending them content X for response\x26#8221;. Done through a toolbar gizmo - \x26#8220;send to colleague and ask for response\x26#8221;.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* acknowledged\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eThis is achieved as a formal delivery receipt. The sharing process could additionally specify a click needed for acknowledgment.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* supported\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eThis is interesting. Essentially, it is a \x26#8220;thumbs up\x26#8221; in a business sense, nicely done for content which requires consensus. A button on the toolbar, like a thumbs up would create an activity item \x26#8220;John supported X\x26#8221; to your network or to everyone.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* facilitated\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eA nice way for an individual to host a discussion. We could take a piece of content, such as a wiki page or blog post (the discussion surface) - and allow someone to say \x26#8220;I\x26#8217;m facilitating this\x26#8221;. The next step in this workflow is to invite comments and discussion using another verb - sharing that piece of content with colleagues. Through all cases, that piece of content would have a marker that notes that an individual is facilitating that specific discussion. A quasi-authoritative discussion format online is therefore created - the basics of business use.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* concluded\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eA verb available if you are facilitating a piece of content. You may post a conclusion to participants that you originally invited and mark any content (wherever it is) as concluded with a result. The toolbar gives you the button if you can do this and injects into your feed and the feeds of discussion members - individual scope since your network doesn\x26#8217;t need to know.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* reviewed\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eA button similar to acknowledgement, with the added benefit of a text box or more that supplies review details to your network feed. Reviews can be made public, in which case any person arriving at that piece of content sees a marker stating that \x26#8220;a review exists for this page\x26#8221;\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* mark for approval\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eA directed verb which is triggered from the toolbar - you direct this action at someone else. Only your individual feeds are involved.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* approved\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eFollows \x26#8220;mark for approval\x26#8221; above.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* mark for action\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eMark a piece of content for action by someone else or by yourself. A private, directed verb. A text box states what the action is on that piece of content.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* delegated\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eUsually the result of an action. If a piece of content results in a \x26#8220;mark of action\x26#8221; - you may press another button which appears in that context to delegate the action.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eThe next part is putting the implicit data together into a scope, where that will be most useful. Scopes are:\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* user-only (personal)\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* group (possibly for a team)\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* network (for my connections)\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* global (everyone)\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3e* executive (possible some highly aggregated CxO focused data)\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eFor each verb, we must decide the scope of activity injection.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a                \x3c/div\x3e\x0a            \x3c/li\x3e\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a            \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_photo_post\x22\x3e\x0a                \x3cimg src=\x22http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l9ldn5JOmr1qzsmc1o1_400.jpg\x22 alt=\x22El Cuartito\x22 class=\x22tumblr_photo\x22/\x3e\x0a                \x0a                \x0a                    \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_caption\x22\x3e\x0a                        \x3cp\x3e\x3cb\x3eEl Cuartito\x3c/b\x3e\x3c/p\x3e\x0a                    \x3c/div\x3e\x0a                \x0a            \x3c/li\x3e\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a            \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_photo_post\x22\x3e\x0a                \x3cimg src=\x22http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6y9s27YCI1qzsmc1o1_400.jpg\x22 alt=\x22\x26amp;#8220;A picture of a face just using numbers\x26amp;#8221; by Amit: \x0a\x0aAnd The most-random-post-it-given-to-Emily-Webber-today award goes to\x26amp;#8230;\x22 class=\x22tumblr_photo\x22/\x3e\x0a                \x0a                \x0a                    \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_caption\x22\x3e\x0a                        \x3cb\x3e\x26#8220;A picture of a face just using numbers\x26#8221; by Amit:\x3c/b\x3e \x0a\x0a\x3cp\x3eAnd The most-random-post-it-given-to-Emily-Webber-today award goes to\x26#8230;\x3c/p\x3e\x0a                    \x3c/div\x3e\x0a                \x0a            \x3c/li\x3e\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a\x3c/ol\x3e');
