Report of the Blogject Workshop is out. Once again, terrific work done by Nicolas and Julian. This report is an extension to the Manifesto for Networked Objects. It features the four blogject scenarios brainstormed during the workshop. I already put a few thoughts in The Internet of Things, Moving Beyond the Refrigerator.

Two major topics emerge towards my interests:

• The scale-up of a messy pervasive world as opposed to a smoothly uniform and standards adhering one.
• The trade-off between simple Blogjects and complex artifacts with Blogjects functionalities (individuals vs. flocks). Relevant self-organising phenomenons can emerge from the interaction among interconnected flocks (swarm intelligence, Agent-Based modelling, …).

Relation to my thesis: In a pervasive world, objects interconnect and our perceptions and relations with them will change. I am interested in how this chaos can be managed and self-organize. Features and scenarios around blogjects bring relevant clues to enter the post-refrigirator era of the Internet of Things.
