Vision
Converging Trends: Web 3.0 + Ubiquitous Computing + Mobile = GoLife
The next generation of Internet technology has been promised for years, but no one has yet been able to implement it. The true power of the “Semantic Web” lies in the ability to make the web “intelligent”, able to horizontally integrate across different data sources, electronic systems with the ability to ‘know’ users’ desires, preferences, or requirements. Computers will become able to ‘semantically’ parse information, understand and make decisions. In this vision, the Web becomes an enabling vehicle for people to interact with their world
Years of “Web 2.0” development have refined and enhanced computers' ability to understand the data they contain and manipulate. Markup languages and capabilities have begun to enable computers to potentially integrate data in a gross approximation of the way humans do. Through Web 2.0, computers are becoming ever-more usable, useful, ubiquitous and unique, providing value beyond pure data.
More and more our computers are personalized representations of ‘us’ – they contain all our contacts, our communications, our calendars, our preferences, locations, credit cards. We use our computers to interact with our (electronic) worlds. But the desktop environment is enveloping: when we are at our computers, we are in a virtual world, not the real world. But we are no longer tied to our desktops, and 2008 is the year of the Mobile Internet. Through our mobile devices we take our computers and our data out into the world. In other words, mobile technologies fuse the electronic and the physical world. The mobile lifestyle will integrate the personalization of the semantic web and the flexibility, portability, and uniqueness of mobile devices. But mobile technologies haven’t actually crossed that bridge yet. The biggest challenge to the development and deployment of effective mobile Web applications is simply the sheer diversity of incompatible platforms, operating systems, handsets, and carriers. It simply is not cost-effective for most businesses to develop mobile applications, there is no consistent framework for development, and there are no financial drivers for developers to create mobile applications for businesses.
Until Now. VADOWERX’s strictly object-oriented development architecture enables quick, easy integration of diverse data sources and functions. Vadowerx provides a consistent, easy to use, cutting edge framework for developers to quickly and easily develop on mobile devices, independent of platform, handset, and carrier. Using this framework, developers can create mobile applications that leverage the power of the semantic web, bringing information to the user as it's needed, telling people what they need to know before they know they need to know it.
Further, GoLife Mobile’s revenue-sharing model means that all developers are immediately compensated for their work, and that compensation is a direct function of how successful their work is: the more people use it, the more money the developers earn. By encouraging developers to support information fusion, GoLife is driving the market-viability of the next generation of the Web.
