| |
| | | | |
| − | You're invited to help with "Blueprinting the Information Valet Economy," a unique, two-day, action-planning session designed to change the landscape for news and information-service providers, artists and publishers. We'll plan, join and start setting up the <i>Information Valet Economy,</i> where companies compete to provide personalized service to users, and make money referring their users to content -- and advertising -- from anywhere.
| + | Meeting in the new [http://www.flickr.com/photos/mediagiraffe/sets/72157609502122909/show/ RJI Smith Forum and adjacent meeting spaces], some 50 journalists, researchers, technologists, publishers and entrepreneurs worked to change the landscape for news and information-service providers, artists and publishers. They shared ideas and advised RJI fellows on how to start the <i>Information Valet Economy,</i> where companies compete to provide personalized service to users, and make money referring their users to content -- and advertising -- from anywhere. The service could coordinate next-generation advertising placement and compensation, consumer-centric demographic management (and privacy) and multi-site commerce -- all designed to sustain journalism and providing new value to traditional print news subscribers. |

| − | ==WHAT TO EXPECT==
| |
| − | | |
| − | A fast-paced, informal, focused set of briefings, discussions and round-table, task-oriented breakout work sessions designed in two days. We'll lay out specifications, then draw a consensus, then draw a conceptual blueprint for a shared-user Internet network. It could coordinate next-generation advertising placement and compensation, consumer-centric demographic management (and privacy) and multi-site commerce -- all designed to sustain journalism and providing new value to traditional print news subscribers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | On Dec. 4, breakout groups will start creating frameworks for the Information Valet economy in law, governance,marketing, advertising, technology, user identity and transactions. Our intention is not to proscribe a precise system, but rather to consider the new relationships the Internet enables among users and information providers -- why it is breaking some businesses, and creating others.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE==
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you are an executive or strategist in advertising, financial services, telecommunications, publishing, health-care or entertainment, public-policy or political expert, artist, marketer or privacy advocate you're likely to gain important new insights into the future of your business or passion by attending, "Blueprinting the Information Valet Economy."

| − | ==WHY NOW?==
| |
| − | [[Image:All-thats-left.jpg|250px|thumb|right|[http://www.mediagiraffe.org/valet.pdf THE NEED]]]
| |
| − | Today we face a challenge not just for democracy -- how to support independent, fact-based reporting -- but for our own enjoyment as well -- how to find, sort and encourage the information and entertain we enjoy as citizens and people.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When people like Vint Cerf and Tim Berners-Lee helped invent key parts of the Internet and World Wide Web, no one foresaw that a one-time defense-industry experiment and academic research network would become a key engine of worldwide commerce.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Their elegant inspiration -- protocols that did barely what was necessary, and nothing more, has fostered nearly two decades of furious, independent, free-market innovation. But we now know there are some missing pieces:
| |
| − | <ul><ul>
| |
| − | <li>A way to get paid -- and pay for -- the exchange of small bits of value, across multiple websites.
| |
| − | | |
| − | <li>The ability to selectively control and share your identity, when desired, to obtain a personalized web experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | <li>The freedom to choose from an array of service providers for such single-account, customized convenience, rather than be forced to a single provider.<br><br>

| − | | |
| − | If you are a senior executive or strategist in the news, telecommunications, wireless, technology, health care, financial services or entertainment businesses, we urge you to joining us. Because the Information Valet Project could change your business in ways you haven't imagined. For once, it's your chance to shape disruption to your advantage -- before it occurs.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the development of any transformative technology, a time arrives for collaboration that does not stop competition . . . but enables it -- by creating rules . . . and a level playing field. Whether it's settling on 60-cycles alternating current, or establishing the railroad-track guage, or the Bluetooth specifications . . . technology requires standardization before the real change begins.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As a participant in "IVP Blueprint," you are accepting a challenge to lead this pattern again in creating crucial new standards . . . to add a new dimension to the Information Superhighway that rigorously respects personal privacy, yet takes Internet information commerce to a new level of sharing -- and competition.

| − | You may never have been to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Missouri Columbia, Missouri.] And you may never return again. But please don't miss this chance to visit America's heartland, at a special time and for a critical reason.
