Summary

MPN spreads short voice messages through a web of trust; credibility decays until a threshold where the message is dropped. It comes with a program for recording and sending messages as well as plugins for XMMS and WinAmp that play received messages.

 
 

Extending the Blogosphere

This is a proposal for the extension of the Blogosphere, the network of Weblogs.

Individual Blogs are connected by their users implicitly: a community emerges, because users regularly read and comment on others' entries. By making this connexions explicit, a web of trust is created which functions like a reputation mechanism.

The resulting system leverages the advantages of social networks for the distribution of news. It can be implemented as a decentralised system, with a simple extension to the Blogosphere.

The system is explained in a paper and in the presentation at the Mobile Entertainment conference in Manchester.

The RSS MPN-Interest module is the first part of this extension.
