I have a few examples for you.

Talking Stick: http://www.reenchantplanetearth.com/AboutTheeTalkingStick.htm

Many mathematical objects become social objects, such as “nerd codes” on slashdot, or uses of binary numbers, or Fibonacci sequence.

Tails or ears are used by furries to recognize other furries and to connect, especially in places such as Second Life (if you don’t know, you may not want to know). But in general, costumes and costume styles are social objects – the weirder they are, the tighter the community, but it’s a general rule about group interests.

Bikes and skate boards are social objects for kids. Speaking of kids, pets and virtual pets (Neopets, Pokemon, Webkinz) are strong social objects. When we foster kittens, we see kids aggregate at the house much more than normal.

The drum is not the object, in this case, the video is. 85,000+ people have migrated to the video. The people in the video were not drawn to the drum, they were drawn to the opportunity to be in the video, whether financial or otherwise. I suspect most of the people playing the drum never met. I do think it is a beautiful video, aside from the drum tuning driving me crazy!

I wish my comment was more about your thesis here, but instead it’s just to thank you for pointing to this video which I’d not seen before. I love watching people bang drums, because I think it is an incredibly existentially revealing act. Coupling that with the progress through the years…just profound. So thanks.

I wonder how much is engendered by the drum and how much by the camera filming them with the drum?
