Smartly Intertwingled

"Everything is deeply intertwingled" – Ted Nelson’s insight that inspired the Web. People can be smarter about dealing with that - in media services, social media, AI, and society and life more broadly. Technology can augment that -- most notably as the Augmented Wisdom of Crowds (see the Selected Items tab below). The former name, “Reisman on User-Centered Media” still applies: open and adaptable to each user's needs and desires – and sharing in the value they create for users.

Debunking the 'Patent Troll' Myth

The bad rap on so-called "patent trolls" is nicely countered in this 2/1/10 Business Week article by Ron Epstein.

My exerience in this area supports Ron's arguments, as was summarized in my 2008 post "'The Six Phases of a Technology Flop' ...Patents, and Plan B".

CHECK OUT MY OTHER BLOG: THE FAIRPAY ZONE

Solving the revenue crisis for digital offerings -- Since 2010, much of my activity has been focused on developing FairPay, a radically new approach to the critical question of whether and how much people should pay for digital content and services.

This worldview is with homage to the visions of Bush (Vannevar), Licklider, Engelbart, Nelson, and Turoff that drove this continuing arc of development (and with thanks to my professor at Brown, Andy van Dam).
