Ian Kennedy’s Summary

Interested in projects that improve the way we discover and share things on the web and beyond. Search engines, text mining, tags, blogs, feeds, wikis, and social networks all play a role but my ultimate goal is to push technology into the background and create a "suggestion engine" that can do this for you in a way that is both intuitive and transparent.

Ian Kennedy’s Specialties:

My background is in Product/Program management but I'm also in my element building partnerships between companies. Deep background in Asia, especially Japan.
