A Synapse is the connection between two neurons in the brain.

In the Synaptic Web the connections between objects are more important, than the

objects themselves.

Looking at the nodes but start paying

attention to the space between them. 

How are those connections changing to produce new

experiences?

Implicit Connections

The Facebook interest field... who actually updates this or even provides anything more than

the broadest information?

Twitter and Facebook status updates have more more

accurate and interesting implicit data about your changing interests

These are @chrissaad's actual interests Today. They will change tomorrow

Deeper Connections

VS

Just a link

Deep Integration

VS

Instead of embedding links users can start embedding functionality

Start looking more closely at the connections.

Synaptic Web; 

The Un-written Bits ...

If everything that is known about an object is attached to it - How would this affect 

Search?

When all your communication patterns are observable, what's the use of 'Friend' button?

When everything about you is organically connected, how would this affect

Transparency?
