Extraordinary Everyday Lives show #45 - GetNaked with biff

Once again this edition of the show is sponsored by Nick Hodge, Professional Geek at Microsoft. Our thanks to nick for his tangible support.
As usual we acknowledge the makers of that fine introduction music you just heard which was Jack in the Pulpit from their song Extraordinary Girl.

This show we are joined by Richard Birkin (biff) from Naked. Biff is from Derby, England.

Intro and what we’ve been up to.
Mike: New job and timezone hell - http://mseyfang.edublogs.org/2008/03/30/daylight-savings-i-told-you-so-11years-ago/
Dave: Implementing email solution using Google Security and Compliance Services [http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/security/index.html]
Kent: Too much work, may never blog again.

What is the hubbub over at Naked?

“Naked isn’t a place to collect new friends.
It’s simply a better way of staying in touch.
With Naked, you enjoy an ongoing feeling of openness with the people that matter to you.”

Dave thinks Naked messaging is about finding personal signal. (ref. linda stone); extendable cones of silence - swarm up not down and gets the feeling of ‘inverse vulnerability’.

Biff outlines the Naked ideas and how it works and the ‘kernel’ of what the service offers. We talk about closed being the new open, notions of privacy and trust. There’s lotsa banter and ideas about what we as people want in our lives and how technology needs to meet that - and biff seems to take copious notes on applying all our ideas into Naked [poor guy].

Anyway, it’s meaty fun stuff…if you like meat. Great food for thought on what is a very interesting service.
