Introducing the next revolution on the net, The intentional web. In the past 10 years, innovations were focused primarily on improving content creation and publication.

The content consumer got benefits from these innovations as a side effect but never as a primary benefactor. Today, websites offer visitors with RSS feeds, custom portals, dynamic content, and microformatted content.

It is time we created a framework for the content consumer to deal with all these different forms of malleable content. This framework should have at its core the reason or intent of why the user is accessing the content.

With intent at the center, the content consumer can merge pieces of information found on many sites to precisely reflect what they want.

The intentional web is about creating new technologies for the content consumer. These innovations will change how we view and consume content on the web.

Let's get started.

For those that can't attend the Dec 7th presentation, I shall post the slides and podcast here.
