New page

<h1>activity verb brainstorming</h1>
{{TOC-right}}
Part of the [[activity-streams]] effort. Per the microformats [[process]] this page is here to document brainstorming for common/generic activity verbs.

== common verbs ==
* '''post'''. posting covers the default/implied verb in most feeds, and always has a direct object with a permalink. Specific examples:
** posting a comment
** posting a review
** submitting an article to digg (typically includes a brief summary by the submitter, a primary category)
** ...

* '''collect'''. AKA bookmark. a lightweight way of adding something to a collection that does not imply endorsement or curation of the item in anyway.
** delicious
** magnolia

* '''favorite'''. favoriting is similar to collecting, but strongly implies that the subject likes the object, perhaps recommends it, and may even be curating it as part of a collection of things they like. The semantic is distinct (and common) enough to merit its own verb.

* '''vote'''. similar to [[vote-links]], sites often allow you to vote-up or down an item.
** Digg's digg vs. bury

* (term needed) unilateral relationship change. when one person makes a unilateral (typically assymetric) change to their relationship with another person.
** Twitter follow (or unfollow, see Qwitter.com)
** XFN relationship value change (see [[xfn-implementations]], in particular the Six Apart relationship update stream).

* (term needed) bilateral relationship change. when two people agree on a change to their relationship.
** Last.fm "became friends"
** ...

* (term needed) updated personal info
** someone mentioned it at the meetup, perhaps the concrete example was Facebook profile photo update?
** update location (i.e. [[hCard]] geo property) via Brightkite, Dodgeball, FireEagle AKA "check in"
** ...

* '''experience'''. experienced/read/listened/viewed
** scrobbled a track on Last.fm
** read an item in a news reader (see also [[attention]] for similar/previous work)

* (term needed) gifting
** FaceBook gifts
** ...

* (term needed) add to wish list
** FriendFeed - shows when adding Amazon wishlist items
** ...

* (term needed) buying
** Facebook / Beacon news feed feature shows when you buy something
** ...

* (terms needed) RSVPS to events on Evite, Upcoming, Pownce, Facebook. Separate terms are likely needed for each of these distinct event related actions.
** Attend
** Interested
** Decline
