Via Hilde: while in offline mood on holiday, I should have known about NOSO - I could have gotten the full experience at the Southern Exposure exhibit, when in San Franciso, the NOSO project is on display right now. But do check it out at the website, very much on spot ;).

What I did pick up in San Francisco though, what a print copy with samples from the 1000journals project. Another interesting project of distributed narrative, online sharing etc reminiscent of the Postsecret phenomena. San Francisco based artist Someguy has sent 1000 journals out in the world, to be written in and forwarded by people all over the world. Website tracks the journals and holds scans of all the journals returned (available?). Not so NOSO, but very much a different variation of social software with a very material component. Book is great, it even has stitches! Btw, project continues at 1001 journals!
