CONNECTIONS, Connections, connections - Small Demons

It's all about Connections at the new (beta) Small Demons site...

(this has to be one of the most intriguing YouTube trailers for a website ever)

"Small Demons is a Los Angeles based company that believes powerful and interesting things can happen when you connect all the details of books.This site is the first step in showing what happens when you do just that."

I've always enjoyed projects that seek to explore the connections between things, people, places, and ideas. In many respects we are super-saturated with data. One way to give meaning to all of the information is to show how it connects with other things


Here's a sample page showing some of the relationships among people, places, and things mentioned in the biography of Steve Jobs:

Small Demons begins from books, leading us to explore a web of connections between all the people, places, and things mentioned in the books we read. Connections and information are provided by users who can also help curate specific topics; much like Wikipedia.
