I have followed Jeff Jonas through his wanderings and adventures since he first wrote about getting in his car and going to Las Vegas. We are both triathletes, done some of the same IM's but different years. I never met him a course but identify with much of what he writes about his tri's. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt too.
Like catching up on an old friend I wondered what he was doing today while reading this that related to the Jeff Jonas mode of thinking related to data analytics discovery: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-11-25/no-credit-history-no-problem-lenders-now-peering-at-phone-data

Like the simple opportunity that presented itself early, boldly and clearly like the light on the eastern horizon that was Las Vegas he continues his ride far and wide. I was surprised to learn that he left his fellowship at IBM. https://zoomph.com/blog/press-release-serial-entrepreneur-and-former-ibm-fellow-jeff-jonas-joins-board-of-zoomph-inc/
No surprise that his simple model for relating things to things continues. No surprise that its application focuses on personal relationship discovery with identity discovery. Jeff originally had to create the relationship web data base on which discovery depended. That has now been institutionalized to the extent that there is now a Social Media Operating System in which focus on Application Programs for relationship discovery. Both are rich leading down the path of connecting dots on the path to rich results.
Jeff is on the Board of Directors. Where he spends his time professionally and doing what is something that I would like to look into just to see what he is doing. Always fascinating.

Simple idea: "Gain granular insights into every personality in your audience." I like the word Granular. Getting down to the real Nittey Grittey. Who a granular person is: their Personality. Gotten to via attributes related to What a person is as identified by attributes. Who a person is by the actions they do. Maybe looking at those actions of a granular person with an almost biometric real and/or conceptual established ID and then looking at what that person says and does to backfit actions to a granular person ID to formally construct a Model of that unique individual's (or unique collective aggregation entity of individuals) PersonalityOperatingSytem.
Create a system that can do that for the purpose of Operating System and Application Program Control and away you go on the way to discovery of valuable data, information and knowledge continuing to beckon like bright lights drawing Jeff to an eastern horizon.
Jeff Jonas at one time in the past expressed concerns about responsibility for granular privacy. I sincerely hope he continues to balance what he does and makes good judgments about what he is doing that really is on a level and at the core of conceptual mass something or another like a physical device was once and still is at the core of physical mass something or another that was also a light in the New Mexico sky.
Jeff continues to follow the rainbow he sees so well to the jackpot at the end like the finish line of Ironman. The melding of conceptual training and accomplishment with its physical analogy.
Fascinating guy. Of all the things I have done I still wish I may have met him on the course in Kona. The road to Kona never ends.
I can't help but see that Jeffs path to the Zoomf destination has taken him through government surveillance systems that give Zoomph a biometric conceptual granular entity personality that back fits to its birthing ParentObject Operating System and ApplicationProgram identity in Government that makes Zoomph a ChildObject with the attributes and methods of Commercialization.
A bright light on the horizon to follow call also be the setting sun if the GPS based ApplicationProgram is 180 degrees off. Not likely if you know which way you are going Jeff and why.

"Law and policy will inevitably determine which entities can
access and commingle which data (channel consolidation) and under what
condition. At the same time, I worry
that the technical means to enhance privacy (e.g., Immutable
Audit Logs that facilitate accountability and oversight) are not being
adopted at an appropriate pace to keep up."
Good job Jeff! Focus on this Black Unicorn of Social Media that turns us 180 degrees;
The destructive power of Social Media Operating Systems when App is focused on False News and heading toward the light of setting sun leads to darkness : http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/11/23/503146770/npr-finds-the-head-of-a-covert-fake-news-operation-in-the-suburbs?utm_source=npr_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=20161127&utm_campaign=bestofnpr&utm_term=nprnews

"Thus the new industrial revolution is a
two-edged sword. It may be used for the benefit of humanity, but only if
humanity survives long enough to enter a period in which such a benefit
is possible. It may also be used to destroy humanity, and if it is not
used intelligently it can go very far in that direction."
China is developing a "Social Credit Rating System"
http://www.wsj.com/articles/chinas-new-tool-for-social-control-a-credit-rating-for-everything-1480351590
It looks like the only fundamental difference between the two systems of identification and ranking of individuals at the granular level is that Zoomf is a product of free private enterprise for profit system and the Chinese system for social control is a government product for what purpose? For increased governmental power to control the People of the People's Republic? Or is it as a product of the self governance intent of (We)...The People's Republic of China.
What is the tipping point of Self Governance as a function rooted in the expression of We the People and and Government as an expression of We the Government?
The next question to ask is: Are we governed more by Free Private For Profit Enterprise than we are by our own "elected and governed by consent of the people entity called "Government".
I think that he "Mysterious Hand" of Mr. Market governs us more than the Government of the People. I think the "MysteriousHand" that seeks profit governs the Government to exercise governance for its profit more than the PublicInterest.
How much different is China's system different than Zoomf?
Jeff Jonas. I implore you to seriously examine this conceptual structure you are creating its purpose and its relationship to ultimate power and control for whose benefit and to whom's detriment.
The tipping of the scale must always be to the benefit of We The People and the dominating system that assures its InalienableRights are protected. Those rights are violated if they only violate the rights of a single rights of a granular level person called a Citizen. ForProfit:PrivateEnterprise violates the collective called WeThePeople went they operate outside the regulating control of Government.
Perhaps it is a better model for the Government to develop a SocialRankingSystem founded on the objective to benefit the People.
Rank is by definition an ObjectChild of the Parent:WeThePeople with attributes of Rank being Inequality or Difference.
