For those who follow my VRM escapades, I have tried to capture what VRM is about and why I am working on it. So here is my paper (and manifesto) A VRM journey.
Loosely speaking, apart from my consolidate position on VRM, this is what it’s about (as summed up by my friend Carrie):
- ‘Social media’ is limited and people are outgrowing it
- There is demand from growing number of people for more control over their online ’stuff’
- There are benefits to users and ‘vendors’ for re-working the current imbalanced relationship
- Some tools are being developed to make that a reality
- It will be a hard slog but there is a call to arms for users to even out the balance; the most open vendors will also benefit – bringing more certainty to their future in this uncertain economic climate
Here is the PDF version for those who prefer a non-web format.
