Po.et News

We’re firing on all cylinders over here so this week’s update is going to be delivered the way I speak; fast & bulleted. Hold your breath and let’s go:

The past few weeks presented several important opportunities for educating stakeholders in media, journalism, advertising and beyond about what Po.et is doing and how our platform intersects with their industries. This is a critical component of the work we’re doing at Po.et; we are building something most of the world doesn’t know they need yet. So it takes the work of not just constructing the protocol but educating on it as well.

Here’s a recap of our recent activity, along with information about where you can see the Po.et project next.

RightsTech Summit

Friday, October 5, I was at the RightsTech Summit in New York City. I participated in a discussion titled “Crypto, Code and Copyrights,” where I spoke alongside representatives from the media and music industries.

The discussion focused on the ways in which blockchain technology is reshaping ownership and payment structures for digital rights -- and the extent to which cryptocurrency and AI will improve the rights market in the long term.

My contributions to the discussion drew on past experiences at digital platforms like the Huffington Post, and how they informed my perspectives on blockchain and how blockchain technology can create new types of incentive and rewards mechanisms, especially in the journalism industry.

You can catch a recording of the talk here.

Breaker Interview

I also had an opportunity to discuss Po.et with Breaker, a magazine that focuses on the crypto industry writ large.

The interview provided a chance to explain to a crypto-focused audience what Po.et is -- and what it isn’t. (Short answer: Po.et’s mission is not to “police the web”; it’s to create a “nutrition label” for online content in order to help people learn the facts about content that they encounter on the web.)

You can read the interview -- and learn how Po.et just might one day help someone monetize tweets -- here. These are huge opportunities and ideas that transcend Po.et into industries beyond imagination. All we have to do it build the roads to get there.

Reputation on the Modern Web

In addition to speaking and the above interviews, I spent part of early October writing. My article “Reputation in Web3” was published by Token Daily at the beginning of this month.

In the piece, I discuss the challenge of reputation on the modern web-- a challenge that starts with defining what reputation even means in a global sense. He argues that in the web (and media industry in general) of the future, reputation will become the primary driver of value. We’ll consequently see “a monolithic shift in the opportunity for creators and the restraints of the companies that are currently working as hard as possible to best represent them,” he writes.

Speaking to Students

Last but not least, I also had a chance to speak to students about Po.et at the Studio One: Innovation in Media Class. Here’s the proof.

What’s next?

See Po.et at Elevate Blockchain

If you’re in New York on October 17, come join me and other amazing speakers for Adweek’s Elevate Blockchain event. Find details here.

We will have updates to main net and our progress in the engineering report coming soon. We’re very close, and will have collateral explaining how best to prepare (whether a developer, creator or spectator) for full use and opportunity shortly. The marketing team is heads down building documentation and collateral for everyone to use and weigh in on.

Ok, back to work. We can breathe again.
