The movement "Blurt-Site" was first used and officially came into being on April 6, 2010 by a group of Indo-Canadians on the social networking site Facebook. Its etymology can be traced to the philosophy of Consilience, first defined by polymath William Whewell, developed by biologist E.O Wilson and popularized by author Kevin Kelly in his blog TheTechnium.
Blurt-Site is an Underground Movement in New Media. It derives its grammatical structure from the verb "blurting", a common form of communication based on the need for instant recognition and gratification popular on sites such as Twitter and Facebook and "site", a common philosophical state of New Media participants who hope that their contributions or "uploads" endure and can be retrieved in archival form.
It currently consists of a community or forum piggy-backing on servers by nesting within large social network sites. Blurt-Sites use the standard conventions offered by the "mother-site" to form a communal structure which has its own definitions.
For example, "keyword" or link appears as a wall post. Various impromptu responses are tallied within a particular time frame. These responses could be monologues, pictures, emoticons, audio, video, links or any object that can be directly uploaded and viewed within the framework of the wall and within the given time. A final mimetic image is its logical conclusion.
Philosophical Heritage
Blurt-sites derive their conceptual structure from the synthesis of Constructivism and Surreal movements in Art History, most typified by Joseph Cornell, and the oral traditions of Slam and Beat Poetry. However unlike these movements, the end goal of blurt-sites is not providing a framework for multiple interpretations but a conclusive end in a final mimetic image, constructed by the site administrator or designated interface designer. Here the idea of "convergence" is resolved at the level of everyday "meaning". A final feedback by forum members occurs in the form of a poll on the veracity of the end mosaic artwork, and a feedback discussion on its subjective nature. The next discussion idea is taken literally and directly from the content of the preceding discussion or "blurt".
The ultimate goal of a blurt-site is to be a real time simulation with a genuine feedback mechanism.
1. It has logged in participants, (not necessarily all at the same time)
2. A statistical feedback window that shows commonality or divergence of signs, symbols and links.
3. Live upload and view of this semantic mosaic defined by the inputs of its participants.
4. This application would be linked to a universally accessible search engine.
5. The sources used for the construction of this mosaic can be accessed from an online archive on a third party server.
6. Statistical sampling of linguistic structure, response times, or hyper-links can show emergent patterns.
7. These patterns could be "inputs" for further audio-visual constructs or flows ad infinitum.
FUTURE TRENDS
Currently, due to financial restrictions and complexity of operating systems, the user can only interact at a low-level, not in real time and through a proxy site. It is likely that this behavior, already present in other various websites , Netflix, Youtube, LastFM, Call of Duty 4, to name a few will coalesce and be re-packaged as as a cross platform "application" once it is more widely embedded in pop cultural practices. Other factors for its survival include a commonality of APIs and SDKs across developers which offsets monopolizing stances by particular hardware manufacturers. Apple shutting off Flash support for the Ipad is a case in point.
