About this Blog

As enterprise supply chains and consumer demand chains have beome globalized, they continue to inefficiently share information “one-up/one-down”. Profound "bullwhip effects" in the chains cause managers to scramble with inventory shortages and consumers attempting to understand product recalls, especially food safety recalls. Add to this the increasing usage of personal mobile devices by managers and consumers seeking real-time information about products, materials and ingredient sources. The popularity of mobile devices with consumers is inexorably tugging at enterprise IT departments to shifting to apps and services. But both consumer and enterprise data is a proprietary asset that must be selectively shared to be efficiently shared.

NY Times: Its Creator Seeks an Even Wider Web

DateMonday, September 15, 2008 at 10:03PM

The following is an excerpt from an article published on September 15, 2008 in the Bits section of the New York Times:

The Web may seem ubiquitous to most of us, but its creator, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, keeps seeing its limitations. And he keeps trying to do something about those limitations, and make sure the Web is as open and widely accessible as possible ....

Sir Tim is now taking another step to try to extend the Web’s reach, with the establishment of the World Wide Web Foundation. Starting with a $5 million seed grant from the Knight Foundation, the new Web philanthropy will begin operations next year, and is seeking donations and volunteers. Its goal is to develop technology, tools and expertise to help bring the Web to the 80 percent of the world’s population that is not online. Market incentives alone, Sir Tim suggests, will not do the job.
