"We plan two video web streams, one including text chat, and an audio teleconference of most of the discussion," said Bill Densmore, a fellow at the institute who helped organize this first strategy session for the Information Valet Project (IVP). The summit is drawing a mix of 50 journalists, publishers, technologists, academics, researchers and engaged citizens.
ABOUT IVP
The Information Valet Project is organizing an information-industry collaborative to build, own and operate a shared-user network layered upon the basic Internet. This week's summit is designed to start defining the ownership, marketing, business roles, technolgy and funding for the IVP. Topics under discussion include privacy, advertising, demographics and commerce.
The IVP network will: (1) Allow end users to own, protect -- and optionally benfit by sharing -- their demographic and usage data with the help of their competitively chosen "information valet" (2) Update the role, effectiveness and compensation for online advertising and marketing services (3) Allow online users to easily share, sell and buy content through multiple websites with one ID, password, account and bill.
"IVP represents a unique, network approach to managing relationships among news, entertainment and information services and their users," says Densmore. "While a broad mix of disciplines are represented by our on-site participants, we want a wider dialog which includes tough questions and possibly breakthrough ideas."
The three-day summit includes a briefing on a unique study of user privacy which will include a nationwide survey and research. The study, directed by Dr. Lee Wilkins, journalism professor at the Missouri School of Journalism, will see to understand how the public values online privacy and what consumers might willingly exchange for it.
