Medium term plans
EML – Education Modeling Language application: distributed Jewish Virtual University?
Jewish Agents?
Examples:
Yenta
Retsina calendar and group coordination
an initiative of the Jewish Agency for Israel
Yenta
Yenta can figure out what you’re interested in
Yenta knows you have many interests
You can send messages to people who share one of your interests
Yenta can introduce you to others
Yenta has a built-in reputation system
You can filter messages you don’t want to see
Yenta protects your privacy
an initiative of the Jewish Agency for Israel
Yenta
Every user runs their own copy
Yenta automatically deduces your interests from your files
Yenta never transmits information to a central place
Yenta searches for other, like-minded Yentas all over the net
Yenta form clusters when they find others with common interests
These clusters are the basis for messaging
You can build a reputation by having other people to agree with things you say about yourself
Yenta runs forever
Yenta assumes that you are permanently on the net
