Looking into Another's Soul by Scanning their Library
Isn't it fun to come to somebody's house and scan their bookshelves or their CD collection to peer into their souls? It's like a holographic UPC code, the soul signature of a person expressed as an array of what interests them and what you share or don't share. If the library belongs to a potential love interest, you might raise your eyebrows at finding How to Turn Your Ex-Boyfriend into a Toad: And Other Spells for Love, Wealth, Beauty, and Revenge or The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers.
For the MySpace generation, it's love me, love my music. What's my music? Just look at my iTunes Library. That's what the social media application MOG does. MOG slurps up your favorites and posts a summary of your collection to connect you with your similarly-minded peeps.
Then, as you continue to listen, MOG reads the frequency of what you're listening to and updates your psychomusical profile. You update your fully customizable profile page as you would on other networks.

Shift in Action uses a simple variety of this idea in the "tags" that members use on their declare pages to describe themselves. For example, click on my profile page and on the left side under "About Me" you'll see red links that represent my answers to the questions in the profile setup. When you click on "Astrology: Capricorn" you'll see a page of all the other Shift in Action members who are Capricorns.
If you don't see this on your own profile page, fill it out by clicking on "My Account" in the left column of any page, and then click on the "edit" tab.
