Instant Syndicating Standards
ISS/IM is an open set of standards that empowers individuals to discover and syndicate information through the help of their own personal social network. This challenges the top-down model of information-sharing and gives place to a bottom-up model, where each person has a unique voice and equal opportunity to contribute and benefit.
As of today, there is no existing technology that allows individuals to share information in a bottom-up manner on a global scale. ISS/IM is a proposal to create just that: a distributed worldwide recommender system perfectly tuned to output a very personalized stream of information for each individual, where information flows from the personal social network towards the whole wide world.
