DH: I think of them as light, efficient, turbo-charged vehicles for transmission and communication of what matters to us individually. One can bundle all kinds of stuff in them and send them from one spot on the web (or any network) to another. Think of the ubiquitous cars on the interstate highway: movies, monies, books, messages…anything… nested in, contained, and transported in Jetpaks for organization, information expansion and development and forwarding, (medical records, summons, signatures, games, vouchers ,etc.) While one might argue these are nothing but super-email applications, I will suggest that this is the next layer, above the web and its infrastructure, offering a new applications-based tool for transport and communication. The difference is that they are created by people from the resources already available on-line, to the knowledge they each add, trade and share. Jetpaks are easy to create…they encourage thought, collaboration, digging deeper, having an opinion. Jeteye is not an effortless "consumption" oriented technology. Well placed effort is a good thing.

more about what is possible and what is missing in the current universe than what is wrong with google.

specifically, jeteye offers a tangible benefit - content you care about in packages you can share.

not sure if it's my preferred way of receiving news, but so far I like it. What I'd really like is a slide of The New Yorker cartoons. January 13, 2006 in
