21. Tool Goals
⢠Come up with an open format to inter-connect networks, platforms, vendors and
independents â together (âConnect the dotsâ)
⢠Leave crumbs on the table â for the little guy (eg. Distributed Open Architecture)
⢠Be the co-creator and leader of this formatâs growth and importance
⢠Ride on those coattails â with a coolio new kind of tool â that can edit the
content, services and userâs data â in an outliner
22. We start off with âopen social networkingâ
⢠A Dashboard Container format â for inter-connecting stand alone networks
⢠âŚ..together
23. Dashboard Container format
⢠Microformats built into HTML web pages â
discoverable âby othersâ
⢠Regardless of website, blog, eCommerce or Web
Service â they all have âContact Usâ, âAboutâ, or
some way of finding out âwhat this site IS?â
⢠Proposed set of âdashboard containersâ that weâd all
âshareâ â to facilitate an open distributed architecture
24. Shared Access examples
⢠Drunken Coed uploads photos â after a rough night
⢠Changes her mind the next day
⢠How can she retrieve not just the images from the main site (even after Snapchat
expiration) â and make SURE nobody has access â anymore?
⢠Shared Software Infrastructure â open APIs â free access and usage:
⢠Listings, Catalogs, Directories (ala Craigslist, Etsy, Angieâs List, AirBnb, Yelp, Kudzu)
⢠History of a local region â senior citizen and figurehead interviews
⢠Surveillance cameras, security status
25. The format is the agenda

Make sure that all stakeholders have a problem that gets solved
Find sponsors and licensees â to bootstrap and slowly iterate
Build consensus through great solutions
Open Source, Developer program and lots of Code Libraries
Cross-vendor promotions
