The Forgotten Edge

The Internet Landrush: Get your online property!

Formula for online success
- get an good address
- build a killer site
- advertise
- make it sticky
- convert traffic into sales
- repeat

Location metaphor has led us to focus attention on servers (silos)
Some sites try to be "portal" into X (pet food, news) : aggregation
But the EDGE (the client) is what counts.

The metaphor of purpose is better than metaphor of location.

Demo:
- Enable you AAA discount card in browser.
- Now search for a product in google.
- Results are tagged (with an icon) : sites that have AAA discounts

Demo:
- Look for book in library
- Turn on library lookup card
- Do amazon search for book
- Normal amazon result + popup that shows it is available in your library
- click on popup takes you to library page

Focus on purpose requires a client perspective.
The browser is the only place that sees all places you visit.
Start a business to create MEANING (not money)

Others in this space (besides Kynetx):
- Gist, SwitchBook, GoogleToolbar SideWiki, AdaptiveBlue

Kynetx: context automation framework.

Location/Intention: go and get   / cookies / Organization
purpose/intention: do and know  / selector / Individual

Brief history of identity
- 1993 none
- 1995 cookies
- the end

When location is metaphor then cookies are good enough

Cookies are for intra-site context.
Cookie cannot handle cross-site context.

InfoCard is important component to purpose-based context.

Cross-site identity enables purpose-based context

Personal Communications Model:
- Individual tell organization

Only individual can tell us their intention.
Everything else is guesswork.

Purpose matters more than location
Choice matters more than control
Context matters more than content
Relationships matter more than transactions
Loyalty matters more than "time on site"
Individuals matter more than demographics
  (what you want not that you are a white male)

How much of your local paper/site contains content that you can't get
anywhere else?

What about clients that don't have infocard selectors now?
- Concentrating on browser (low hanging fruit)
- Coming: thunderbird, outlook, mobile, telephony

What about browser vendors?
- how to get people to download browser (card selector) extensions?
- incentive
