Knowledge Workers Access Web 3.0 at ManyWorlds.com

Leading business site takes knowledge working to the next level by demonstrating adaptive recommendations technology and social networking that is seamlessly integrated with content management. The AI engine learns the preferences and interests of users and delivers that learning back to users throughout the content and social networking functions.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) December 18, 2007 -- ManyWorlds Inc., the leaders in the development of adaptive Web-based systems and processes, announces the "Web 3.0" release of its leading business thought leadership portal, ManyWorlds.com. This release delivers the world's first fully integrated content and social networking system, and features AI functionality throughout the system.

"While there is not a consensus definition on what constitutes Web 2.0 much less Web 3.0, we think people will know it when they see it," said ManyWorlds' CEO Steven Flinn. "Our belief is that the essence of Web 3.0 is the confluence of advanced and highly accessible content and taxonomy management, social networking that is seamlessly integrated with the content management, and AI capabilities that learn the preferences and interests of users and deliver that learning back to users throughout the content and social networking functions. By that measure, ManyWorlds.com fully demonstrates right now the key features what Web 3.0 promises."

Flinn continued, "As just one example of what is possible, our adaptive intelligence functions deliver personalized recommendations of both content and people that include a full explanation of why the recommendation was made. And the explanation has a significant amount of detail - it even includes caveats that are personalized for the recipient in addition to just highlighting the positive aspects of the recommended item. No other general-purpose system available on the Web today includes this kind of powerful and practical AI capability."

These advanced features currently available to all ManyWorlds.com members are delivered by ManyWorlds' Epiture® adaptive knowledge network software. Epiture can be applied right now by any business or institution to deliver these same Web 3.0 capabilities on their own Web site or within their corporate environment. Implementation is remarkably simple, and Epiture complements all existing systems and sites. Contact ManyWorlds for more details.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) August 16, 2006 -- ManyWorlds Inc., the leaders in the development of adaptive Web-based systems and processes, announces enhancements to its leading business thought leadership portal, www.ManyWorlds.com, featuring easy-to-use capabilities for building personal knowledge networks that can be shared with selected colleagues or publicly.

"Building on our leadership in delivering Web sites that automatically learn to become more useful over time, our acclaimed business thought leadership content, and our recent Webby award, we are amplifying the value to ManyWorlds.com members by empowering them to easily assemble sophisticated networks of knowledge and, at their discretion, share these networks with others,” said ManyWorlds’ CEO Steven Flinn.

“Unlike current consumer ‘Web 2.0’ sites that are essentially throw-away and inappropriate for professional business use, we are delivering to www.ManyWorlds.com members the ability to build serious networks of knowledge. Members can ‘rip’ high quality content from ManyWorlds’ vast public knowledge network, contribute their own content, mix it together in a knowledge network, and then share or syndicate to others as desired. They can do all of this with incredible ease using the MyWorld function of www.ManyWorlds.com.

And this is just the beginning. Very soon we will be delivering advanced but easy to use features to build your own adaptive social networks. And unlike any other site, social and knowledge networks will be completely integrated, and automatically adapt to the use of the community.

These advanced features enjoyed by our www.ManyWorlds.com members are rapidly becoming a requirement for any serious Web site, whether Internet or Intranet. ManyWorlds’ Epiture® adaptive knowledge network software automatically manages ManyWorlds.com, and we can deliver these same adaptive functions in any other Web site right now,” said Flinn.

ManyWorlds Announces Research Report on Why the Internet Market Crashed

Houston, TX -- May 14, 2001 A new report researched by ManyWorlds details how the root of the Internet market crash  can be traced to fundamental architectural deficiencies of the World Wide Web, which has implications for all eBusiness initiatives. This report details how the high multiples of the dot com bubble were awarded because investors believed that technology could deliver greater personalization and targeting through the web than is actually achievable. This report goes on to make suggestions of which future architectures will deliver these features, that are so badly needed in this world of mass-customisation.

Introduction

The web page-based Internet has fueled an economic transformation in the past half decade or so. However, it has recently become apparent that the transformation, while important, has been somewhat less than originally expected.

We argue that this mismatch in expectations is directly attributable to the strengths and weaknesses of the architecture of the World Wide Web – an architecture that serves to maximize information supply, but, by itself, is limited in its ability to support high signal-to-noise ratios.

Essentially, the problem is one of information management, and the solution will require fundamental new information management paradigms.

Synopsis of the Problem

We traced the real problem back to 1990 and the advent of the web page paradigm, followed by the web browser (taken together, they comprise the technological paradigm of the World Wide Web). This technology followed a hypertext architecture, an architectural model that was described by Ted Nelson, among others, several decades earlier.

Web pages are essentially linked "flat files" (flat, in the sense they contain little or no contextual or meta information). The advantage of this approach is that it is very easy to quickly publish information, particularly textual information, and it is very easy to connect together chunks of information in an ad hoc way. However, the simple hypertext paradigm has a built-in tendency to drastically lose signal-to-noise as it scales.

Its major deficiencies are that the web page is not a unit of information that is necessarily meaningful to a user (it intertwines content with presentation formatting), there is no standard approach to enabling the contextualization of information, and there are no facilities for automatically managing and manipulating large chunks of related information. Contrast the web page paradigm with relational data base technology, for example. Relational databases do focus on particular units of information, and have facilities for manipulating and managing large chunks of information. Unfortunately, relational databases are no better at enabling a standard way of contextualizing information. And more importantly, they are not as easy to use as the web page approach.

So the "wall" that the Internet economy has run into is an architectural wall. It is not the Internet itself, which is simply a communications transport protocol. It is with the web page-driven World Wide Web architecture. And specifically, it is a problem of information management.

The web rests on a ten year-old application architecture that has reached its limits. We can see a dramatic example of that in the case of Yahoo!. Yahoo!, the most highly trafficked and successful of all pure Internet sites has basically not fundamentally upgraded the capabilities of its site in over four years. Given that they have every incentive to increase the gap between themselves and competitors, to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of their site, and have an army of talent to execute such upgrades, the fact that Yahoo! has not done so strongly suggests that their basic architecture inhibits improvements.

Solution

Fundamentally, the information management problem of the Internet only gets solved when we move away from the fundamental unit of information being the web page.

We see as the only alternative a fundamental unit of information based on a network of information, with appropriate standard descriptive information about the network and its constituent information elements. Such a standardized network approach would enable today's inefficient web site paradigm to be replaced by an information network syndication paradigm.

In this model, the network of content or knowledge would be portable across an unlimited number of distribution channels, rather than highly restricted as is the case of the web site paradigm. Such an architecture would enable networks of information to be managed and manipulated effectively. For example, networks could easily be copied, combined, divided, and in general, effectively syndicated. In fact, syndication is the key word -- syndication of networks replaces hyper text-based web pages as the fundamental technology.

Such a technology would enable an overall shift of the ability to contextualize and therefore target much more precisely to the requirements of users and communities. This technology would create a new space of Knowledge Network Management and would allow a greater breadth of content sources to be provided to users without losing the quality or relevance of the information.

ManyWorlds Announces Proposed Solution to the Origins of Music

Houston, TX -- February 14, 2001 -- ManyWorlds, Inc., announces that its founder, Steve Flinn, has developed a generalized theory that solves the mystery of the evolution of musicality in humans. An abstract of the theory is available on http://www.manyworlds.com, and details will be presented at a major scientific conference later this year.

Mr. Flinn has combined insights from human evolution, cognitive science and information theory to develop a theory that accounts for the universality of music, as well as its particular features and uses. In summary, Mr. Flinn argues that human musical capabilities co-evolved with overall intelligence and language capabilities, and that the specific purpose of these capabilities is to enable the sender of message to modulate how the message will be stored in the minds of message receivers. Specifically, musicality enables the sender(s) of a message to increase the probability that the message will be stored in long-term memory of the receiver(s). As human intelligence, brain plasticity and the associated sophistication of messages increased, the adaptive advantages of such a memory modulation technique would have become very significant.

"The fact that the human brain has multiple types of memory storage almost guarantees that a communication mode would evolve that enables communicator(s) to have a strong influence on memory storage of the receiver(s)", said Mr. Flinn. "The set of capabilities we label 'music' are just those acoustical-based functions that facilitate such memory modulation. Today we think of music as primarily entertainment. However, music actually evolved as a general mode of communication that directly impacted survivability. The ability in pre-literate societies to ensure the coding of key information in long-term memory was critical. Even today, we see glimpses of music's original purpose. For example, in the way children learn their ABC's through song, and by the way advertisers exploit music to ensure their message will be retained (annoyingly!) in our brains. And we are able to marvel at the Iliad and the Odyssey to this day only because they were sung with high fidelity through the mists of Greek pre-literacy."
