We hope you haven't had your fill of Internet Evolutionary excitement for the week, because we're about to up your usual dose with an Esther Dyson interview on IE Radio this afternoon at 1 p.m. ET!

We're very happy to have Dyson, a venture capitalist, former ICANN chairwoman, and trained astronaut as our guest on IE Radio today. During a previous interview with Internet Evolution, Dyson spoke about the ills of Internet anonymity, stopping "badware," the future of genetic information on the Web, and her travels through space (outer space, that is). Today, making her IE Radio debut, she'll follow up on some of the above and also discuss market trends that affect how businesses use and manage Web 2.0 technologies.

You can help steer the conversation as well by making sure you're logged in to Internet Evolution and participating on the live message boards accompanying the Radio interview. You'll want to be available on the boards during and after the interview, as Dyson has agreed to stick around and chat live with everyone once the audio portion concludes. (If you've yet to register for Internet Evolution, you can do so here.)

The combination of audio and chat is one of the things that makes IE Radio a lot of fun for us, our guests, and our readers. In case you weren't around last week when we interviewed craigslist founder Craig Newmark on IE Radio, you can access it via our archives and read the accompanying message board dialogue, here: Craig Newmark, founder, craigslist

(You can also access our full archives, including our very first radio interview with security expert Shannen Rossmiller, here.)

We're really looking forward to what is sure to be a great interview this afternoon. In the interim, if you have any pressing questions you'd love to try to get in for Dyson in advance, feel free to weigh in on the boards below, or go ahead and get the chat started on the live chat board on the page for Dyson's interview.

Remember: Make sure you're logged in during the broadcast so you can participate in the live chat and talk with Dyson after the interview. Here's the link again to this afternoon's broadcast: Esther Dyson, venture capitalist.

Chat with you at 1:00!

In another step toward becoming socially acceptable, Google today unveiled "Google Buzz" -- a method for social sharing from inside Gmail. Naturally, some ever-creative types are already dubbing this release as a "Twitter-killer" and a "Facebook-killer." Because, we just can't get enough of that kind of language.

Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL)'s recent unveiling of its "magical" iPad may have fanboys counting the days until March, but if a recent poll on Internet Evolution is any indication, not everyone is buying into the hype.

We do a lot of grousing here on Internet Evolution, and usually for good reason, considering the amount of nonsense that keeps this industry afloat on its cloud of hot steamy air!!!! But... we can still happily acknowledge those titans who have succeeded in leading the way or paving new ground in their respective fields and, in turn, give credit when it is well deserved.

Why Doesn't the US Have Any Mobile Wallets?

11|28|09   |   2:09   |   No comments


Imagine being able to use your mobile phone to pay taxi and mass transit fare; use vending machines; make retail purchases; and check in at hotels. Every day, millions of citizens in Japan, S. Korea, and soon Singapore do so simply by waving their mobile phones in front of point-of-sale terminals using near-field communication or related technology. But, while the technology is readily available in the US, it will be some time before Americans can use their cellphones as mobile wallets.

What can users today do to protect their online privacy? The simplest and most obvious option is to not use the Internet – at all. However, once all digital information is consolidated over the Internet, trying to protect digital identity by simply unplugging from the Internet becomes impossible – a fact that has manifest implications for civil liberties, Saunders says.

The 20th Century Internet was characterized by the ability to interact with other people and information on the Internet largely without anyone knowing who you were. The Internet of this century, conversely, will be defined by identity. Saunders explains how Internet users are unwittingly contributing to the demise of the anonymous Internet.
