SHOCK: A Peer-to-Peer System for Harvesting Community Knowledge

This is a 43-slide presentation given by Eytan Adar of HP's Information Dynamics Lab as the closing keynote speech at the Internet2 P2P workshop on 30 Jan 2002. Here's the closing summary slide, reformatted:

"Shock lets you find members in a community that: have expertise, and match specific criteria. Create and find interesting discussions, all while providing privacy/anonymity for profiles and messages. It's integrated into work practice and offers automatic profile generation and update. With a simple client installation and configuration, it is flexible with a rich set of profile attributes. It lowers participation costs to increase participation and usage."

I recommend the PowerPoint version, but if you absolutely can't view that, see it in HTML at
