Marshall, I would respectfully suggest that if you're looking to IBM to keep you informed about the so-called "Internet of Things," you're really missing the larger and more interesting picture. Google "Council + Internet of Things" and follow any of the dozens of people involved with that initiative and you'll have a much truer and less skewed idea of what's going on in this space. I would also point out that some of the most interesting work in the space is being done by folks who reject or simply do not use the "Internet of Things" language. But I suspect you'll find that out for yourself. Good luck! Thanks for the namecheck, Audrey.

It does span a bunch of different levels--from the commercial products you're reading about, to the arduino and pachube experiments I'm thinking of. Whatever privacy/security/transparency framework we use needs to relate to the full range. Ah, I see.

And thanks for calling me on the "primary vendor" language. But really, I was reading the New Yorker at New Seasons last night and there was a full page ad from IBM re security implications of internet of things. And their SmarterPlanet blog is the #1 source for news on the topic. So.... Thank you Audrey. And thanks for calling me on the “primary vendor” language.

Are we really to that point yet? Where's the fun and experimentation? If you haven't read Everyware (or Adam Greenfield's work in general) he covers these topics quite extensively, including the need to make embedded/hidden systems visible to the user. It's still the best framework I've seen for covering the privacy/use considerations involved. Also, he's interested in finding a sponsor to do a 'walkshop' in Portland, where we'd go around and talk about embedded and networked systems already in our environment. More details here: http://speedbird.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/how-to-bring-a-systemslayers-walkshop-to-your-town/ I'd love to see RWW get involved with something like this. :) “Primary vendor in the Internet of Things market” makes me cringe.
