Point your 
Going to Nordichi
I’ll be presenting the thoughts we have on a data rich presence in the real world at Nordichi in October. Program and people there looks exciting so I’m very much looking forward to that.
The context of my own presentation is “what can we do with the technology that’s there” and the answer lies somewhere along one of my general principles “If you have data, you need much less technology”. We can make our environment smarter with a little bit of personal history to assist the technology.
Think Amazon collaborative filtering. I.e. replacing natural text recognition, smart but complex queries, and book metadata (what librarians used to think it took to make good book collections) with the statistics of shopping histories.

Please publish your preso when you are done as it sounds very interesting.
Personally, I’m viewing Web 3.0 as something around making use of existing implicit information sources such as cell connection information, train ticket validation volumes at a station, purchase data etc. but with a much greater focus on your interactions with the physical world rather than online services.
Best of luck.
