What are personomies?

I thought about this concept of personomies for a long time, only to discover recently that someone had too. Good to know that several people had the same idea, though i dont see personomies as a term for librarian but more a term to describe my "personal information environment". My personomy is the information environment i have built over time, independently of any platform or system. Personomies include contacts, purchases, health records, search history, emails, rss feeds, IMs, voip calls, comments on blogs...etc...any tiny bit of data that is logged and can be tracked back to me belong in my personomy. Personomies are any digital manifestations of me.Is this a big deal? Yes. Because personomies = data and data = gold. Because the more someone can understand, model, predict, help me develop my personomy, the better they will know me. And the better they know me, the better they can target me and build a long lasting relationship with me....and we all know that that's where the money is. That's pretty much what personomies mean to me. As this blog grows, I know my definition and understanding of the concept will evolve, hopefully with your input.
personomies, information environment

Personomy nice new term,

Personomy nice new term, though "Digital Identity" might be a synonym.
I do understand though that you like to associate somewhat with the concept folksonomy which stands for "the user/reader is in control" and also with visualisation possibility of one person identity by means of fuzzy facets in a tag cloud.
Regarding the aspect user control there might be good news: Look at www.Yadis.org : user controlled authtentication services are coming up and driven by a wide variety of Internet industry parties.
So some first steps are taken to enable personomy management in the future.

[...] In times of Google, Amazon and all the other Internet based information collecting companies, the term Personomy is more present and more important, than ever before. Every person has a digital reflection - a shadow of bits and bytes leaving one’s mark everywhere in the web. This Blog entry offers a good explanation about what pernonomies are about. [...]

[...] Following on from the idea that your fingerprints are somewhere, and that what you do is part of the greater fingerprint that is you, I was interested to find today that I’m not the first person to start to explore down this part. Personomies.com has made some discussion and definition on the topic, calling it ‘personomies’: My personomy is the information environment i have built over time, independently of any platform or system. Personomies include contacts, purchases, health records, search history, emails, rss feeds, IMs, voip calls, comments on blogs…etc…any tiny bit of data that is logged and can be tracked back to me belong in my personomy.

[...] Так как же дело с передачей контекстов обстоит сейчас? А сейчас, как мне кажется, это самое дело начало улучшаться. Идеи персональных облаков информации, кортежного пространства (Интересно, правильно ли я перевел термин “Tuple Space”?) или вот персономий (Опять фиг знает, как переводить!) начинают прорастать то тут, то там все чаще и чаще. И на мой взгляд они сводятся к одному: [...]

interesting term - but in business/marketing sense isn't it just like saying - you have to know the person including the size and brand of his/her underwear and what makes him tick - to get the deal?

Cool! So now all we got to

Cool! So now all we got to do is hijack the technorati api (or come up with one that works) and map your personomy to the personomy of known consumer profiles.... And suddenly you'll get spam you really can't refuse!

Hmm... fois gras also comes in cute little tins. Can we call it spam-gras?

So how does this differ from the couple of years old concept of digiself, or the even earlier digital persona?

wonderful logic - I

wonderful logic - I particularly liked the insight regarding" Because personomies = data and data = gold" - strong stuff here. I think you would have a lot of synergy with my assistant - Sery Kheeplapur at offshore-solutions.blogspot.com - good luck with the blog - with logic like this however who needs luck!

Would you say that your

Would you say that your "personomy" also includes your blog posts, personal my space content, personal photos, personal videos, etc.? I call this "Life Media." Life Media is all of the personal digital content that you create and either store for personal use or share in a distributed online evnironment. More here: http://www.itsbeach.com/blog/2006/02/calendar_chatte.html

I'd love your thoughts.

Your contacts per se do not

Your contacts per se do not integrate with your personomy. Rather it is the event that ties you with your contact that does. An event can be an email, a chat, a skype call...any manifestation that can be logged.

Another interesting aspect of personomies is the relationship between two personomies. I am sure we are not far from having some algorithm that will analyze my personomy and yours and help each other discover content etc....

How do your "contacts"

How do your "contacts" integrate into your personomy? What role do they play? What's the relationship of your social network to your personomy, as your information environment?
