building the open web one bit at a time

Telling a story - as presentation

I’m working on our V 1.2 launch/presentation and I want to tell a story:

It all started with enabling people to:

- create things and express themselves

- empower folks - and get them self organizing to become activists

- build communities - and connect measpace to cyberspace

- make money, pay the bills, buy things, make a living off of being creative and working remotely

- educate, learn and research

- and (of course) enlighten ourselves, spiratually and politically - by finding out what’s going on (otherwise known as ‘news’)

All of these factors have been evolving since the 1980’s - and they all come together in DLAs (digital lifestyle aggregators.)

There are a whole bunch of different approaches and implementations - of these ‘Portal 2.0’s’ - so I will then go over many of these approaches and styles:

- Widgets and Dashboards

- Blogging and Content Channels

- Social Networking and shared media

- Communicating and mobile services

- Commerce and Marketplaces - with targeted ads

- Community contributory sites

- Coolio new kinds of Tools and Services

Finally I will conclude with my state-of-the-art report on Open Standards, where we are today and where I think we can go.  The goal is to create a mesh of distributed, inter-connected decentralized networks, platforms and operating systems.

And let’s not forget the biy biys an dplaying them off of each other.  For us independents to survive - we gotta live off of the crumbs that are left on the table.  So playing David off of Goliath will become a full-time job for us all.

I’ll show the open standards stack - which is what we’ve all been working on - and talk about how we’re gonna make this all happen. Here’s the stack:

- User-centric ID and authentication

- then Import/Export - with standards for profile data, meta-data and other data structures and schemas

- then with some verbs which sit on top of all this, like invite, send a message, create a group, post content, merge and aggregate

- then finally with new kinds of tools which sit on top of it all

So that’s the story - we got the product and turn-key services and most of all vision!  So here we go - 2007!

  7. The vision is fantastic. I think all of us believe in the concept of the DLA. I am speaking at Ajaxworld about new information architectures and will definitely be plugging the concept hard. It is the way things should be. Rock on.
