data wants to be socialized

In today's discussion(Tuesday meeting), Joel was taking about numerical and data. Based on Lev manovich's theory, data has potention, and data is more than data itself. Data wants to be socialized.
Can I say that a group of data is like a piece of information? Of casuse a piece of information is much more than information itself. It is like language, or communication. Communication is ambiguous at most of time, there's no knowing with any certainty what another person is truly thinking. So it is same as data, and the meanning of data is much more than data itself, and the "extra" ambiguity is the key to keep things going. Data wants to be socialized? Yes. Like most of the website, it is about talking. The subjects on internet are about ourselves, or something we are interested about. We talk about things we want to talk, and "tell" people about ourselves. Is that related with the charactors of data? I need to spend more time to think about it.
