The previous definition of software narratology was restricted to software traces and logs (the top left quadrant on a software narrative square, also the part of Memoretics which studies memory snapshots). Now, with the broadening of the domain of software narratology to the whole world of software narrative stories including actor interactions with software in construction requirements use cases and post-construction incidents we give another definition:
Software narrative is a representation of software events and changes of state. Software Narratology is a discipline that studies such software narratives (software narrative science).

A few weeks ago when I was asked about my opinion whether the current economic crisis will deepen an idea came to me that Cloud Computing is the last Model piece of MVC (Model-View-Controller) where View is Social Media such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. and Controller is Internet itself. With the final piece of the puzzle the World needs new MVC Revolution in order to get back on track.

I was inspired today for a new comic art movement called Computicart (Computical Art). The first composition is called Cloud Traces (remember that memory dumps are just bigger software traces and software traces are just smaller memory dumps):
