Open question on state of r-button affordances
- What qualifies Amazon to use an r-button? How do you become certified?
- What constitutes a ker-chunk? What is a relationship?
Public Media wants to be in cheering section; doesn't want to contaminate our process
- Interest in i-card / r-card model for representing identity in a membership context
- One idea: Stations as IDPs issuing icard and it could be used at npr.org -- provide a way into the market initiated by users and through the stations
- 3-prong: any station can run own IDP, NPR offers service to make it at easy as possible
