-Industry Pundits Jon Udell and Steve Gillmor Address Capacity Audience of 170 Kynetx Developers in Support of the New “Client-Side” Web-
SALT LAKE CITY, Apr 27, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — The greatest uses of the web are functions that have likely not been invented yet, according to Kynetx. At the Kynetx Impact Conference in Salt Lake City, technology icons Jon Udell and Steve Gillmor addressed the current focus on the “client-side” user experience of the web. (Live feed is available at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/kynetx.) “Imagine walking into Borders and having your smartphone alert you that the book you put on your Amazon wish list this morning is available right now and on sale,” said Dr. Phil Windley, Kynetx CTO and co-founder. “As another example, think about an application that gathers relevant articles from your RSS and Twitter feeds based on searches you’ve performed or related to an email you just received from a friend. This is the power that occurs when we create a paradigm for programming the Internet, rather than simply writing programs that run on the Web.” This week’s conference highlights the hundreds of new applications based on Kynetx Network Services technology. The Kynetx Rules Language (KRL) lets applications span multiple URLs and network connected devices in response to user context, giving users more control of their web experience.
“While the technical architecture of the web enables contexts in some respect, it destroys context in others,” said Udell.
Udell traced the reasons systems and organizations either support or resist innovations based on the assembly of context and provided Kynetx developers (who now hold the tools to endless context assembly) with advice on how to tip the balance within the vast new arena they serve.
“The client-side revolution is changing the way we view and interact with technology at the most fundamental levels,” said Gillmor. “These changes will have a profound impact on the ways we interact with technology for many generations to come.” Gillmor shared several examples of the client-side revolution altering the way programmers develop and the ways merchants provide value via the web.
“In our first year, Kynetx is already having a profound impact on the way users are able to experience the web,” said Kynetx President Stephen Fulling.
“Commerce, learning, user privacy, and most especially user control is making a critical difference in the way we receive information and the way we do business, and will ultimately impact our culture and world.” Kynetx provided developers with details on the new Kynetx App Marketplace and additions to the Kynetx Rules Language at the event, as well as presentations from Kynetx’ Co-Founder Phil Windley and identity and lexicon expert Craig Burton.
