Creating Jobs by producing on-line multimedia content and putting that content onto free shared servers with APIs is at the heart of the Digital City project. Marc will explain a new kind of software infrastructure, where dashboard interfaces utilize standardized 'containers' to facilitate distributed friending or access controls. This new software infrastructure provides an open platform for innovation and a 'Citizen Dashboard' framework - which would be available as free open source. But Content is still King and the need for a monetization model essential - so Marc will tell the tale of the multimedia revolution - which began back in the '80's and was ground to a halt when the dial-up web come into being. After 15 years of waiting, we're finally seeing multimedia come to Wikipedia. So now go count up how much work it's gonna take to update 3+M entries with video, animation, photos, interactive simulations and games, visualizations, maps, 3D environments - you name it - it's all an expression of knowledge and information. Not just text. Who's gonna pay for all this? Well you'll have to come to the presentation to find out! http://people.tdooner.com/content/cid=33 http://blog.broadbandmechanics.com/2010/03/26/6812/ http://www.slideshare.net/secret/gdY41E0CDelsA8
