Reactions to a Manifesto of Networked Blogjects

In network objects, focus should lie on creating passive sensors - connected to a network. An interesting addition would be the ability of augmented MESH - where every object functions both as a transmitting agent, receiving agent, sensing agent, etc. Each object would comprise gateway functionality to extra-nets - and thus communicate a unique response - though influenced by all other objects.

Processing resultant data from networked sensor objects should be left to an external agent. This process should be considered a best practice in aggregation. The data must eventually be made human-readable without [outside] the given object serving the data.

Dialog lies in control and observation.

The author argues for the personification of networked objects that aggregate, parse, transmit data - in terms of conversation.

The mere concept of objects that blog is ridiculous. Blogging is a buzzword offering a new name to a public, social, searchable journal. The concept is deeply rooted in paper-culture - anachronistic.

The economics of blogjects make little sense.

What is the context? In the current world wide web, blogjects have no place. Personalized journalism of some sort - Main Stream Media even more so - makes up the gross majority of consumed information. The output of blogjects would require human parsing and contextual repackaging as such. But I'm not saying the current internet is necessarily correct.
