Abstract

With all the hundreds of digital connections professionals manage online, and with all million potential acquaintances available online, a cross-breeding between the coffee machine and a tool similar to MSN Messenger could be -- metaphorically -- like having the coffee machine in a stadium filled with thousands of people. In this workshop we would like to explore the concept of a digital tool for a new shared virtual space where online social interactions would become even more fluent, dynamic and fruitful.
