Day One:

Kynetx Impact Version 1.0 began with a bang! Doc Searls gave a speech on “What happens when users take control.”

Dr. Phil Windley spoke about “The Forgotten Edge” of the internet and how ubiquity and context are the next big shift in how the internet is used. Phil also debuted two new PSA’s starring Simon, the IT Dummy that described worst practices about how NOT to provide a contextual shopping experience, or a cross-site, context-sensitive app.
