Reisman's Broader Work and Interests

Smartly Intertwingled (Blog)
(Formerly:  Reisman on User-Centered Media)
"Everything is deeply intertwingled," was a guiding insight that led to the Web. People can be smarter about dealing with that - in media services, social media, and society and life more broadly. Technology can augment that.

Recent posts are related to innovative work on social media and Internet platforms, relating to reversing current negative impacts, better business models, privacy, advertising, regulation/antitrust, architectures, and digital democracy.
