tales of things
itizen
annotating objects with data in the form of text, video, or audio
object tales range from encounters with shoes, phones, and medieval castles to mundane object trivia
annotation, sharing and friending of object data streams - similar to  following a friend on a social network
even the most minute and trivial of objects potentially has a unique and semantically deep identity, entangled in a social network of humans and other objects
physical objects connecting to the internet 
when objects acquire connectivity, semantic depth, and the powers of computation and memory they immediately transgress the borders assigned to them

Once “Things” are connected to the Internet, they can only but become enrolled as active, worldly participants by knitting together, facilitating and contributing to networks of social exchange and discourse, and rearranging the rules of occupancy and patterns of mobility within the physical world.
