I’m on to something.
You know when you think or say something and then, out of the blue, someone tells you either that someone recently said the same thing not long before you, or that someone has recently done what you were suggesting.
Well, it has happened to me a lot lately.
Makes me feel like I’m thinking of the right things.*
In the last 24 hours, I was hit by at least three incidences. One of them (below) is about the connections overlaying the Web. How I would do it is slightly different than the way the guys below are doing it. But, they sure come close to what I was thinking of.**

Hey everyone.
A lot of you are new to Me.dium, and some of you have been with Me.dium since we first launched the private beta in October. To everyone, I just wanted to say thank you for being a part of something that we believe could change the way we browse forever.
Me.dium reveals the hidden world of people and activity behind your browser. The vision is through Me.dium, you’ll be able to access all the people out there doing the same things you are.
* You’ll be matched to people doing the same Google Searches. You’ll see which pages they go to, and be able to reach out to them.
* You’ll be matched to people reading the same articles. You’ll be able follow the crowd and discuss the news as a group. This works great for Digg users as they decide what news should be tops for the day.
* You’ll finally be able to browse the internet together, with friends and with users that you’ve met through Me.dium. Whether you’re planning a trip with friends, or just trying to figure out which computer to buy.
With Me.dium the idea is that you will no longer be alone online.
*My favourite example of this simultaneity is the invention of calculus.
**Now that I think of it, some stuff I learned about IRC Galleria and MyBlogLog probably set me off on this particular idea path.
Glad we could be of use.
