I’ve been asked to sum up the “flow” of my SXSW talk, “Creating A Mobile Wallet Worth Having,” into a handful of bullets for those people who want to be able to share the logic, without having to explain Michael Jackson or any of the other stories…

I’ve attempted to do so below.  This is what was intended, but if you took something else away from the talk and slides, hit me back with some feedback, and let’s discuss!

  1. Finance and Happiness are intimately related
  2. A mobile wallet introduces a personal, networked, sensor-laden computational capability into this relationship
  3. Humanity is disadvantaged when interacting with finance, because the mind is disadvantaged
  4. We must build software differently: create raw capability to advantage humanity in finance, with mechanisms that impact our unconscious resources (agent logic)
  5. Mathematical models of finance and behavior are the cornerstone to a system that can provide some of this new raw capability
  6. A mobile wallet that leverages agent logic and financial modeling could become an active participant in helping to secure positive financial outcomes
  7. Such a wallet would enable consumers and software to experiment with possible financial outcomes and create alternatives – “counterfactual testing
  8. If these alternatives and outcomes could be shared securely, in a shared financial object, users could learn from one another, increasing the likelihood of financial happiness

ok…so almost everyone who has expressed an interest in the “Creating A Mobile Wallet Worth Having” talk I did at SXSW, has asked when the audio would be ready.

It’s ready now.  Just click and enjoy.

If you want to experience the audio directly from the SXSW page about the talk, go here.

To round out the experience, you can find the slides here.

I’m really astonished that we’ve gotten over 900 views of this deck in the last 3 weeks…wow!

To everyone who has passed on feedback or support, many, many thanks.

i had the pleasure of meeting @wiederkehr (Benjamin Wiederkehr) after my talk @sxsw…smart questions…kinda nice to know he had such a good time and met such talented people.

…a mobile developers perspective…hackathons, homeless hotspots, and the wallet worth having…very cool…

pretty nice summary of the mobile wallet/mobile payments panels at sxsw…looks like i made the cut…

some serious ass’d thoughtfulness from @hautepop (Jessica Owens)…someone thinking very deeply about mobile money.  i’m impressed, and very happy that something in my talk stuck…Jess, thanks for improving my thinking…

optism joins the discussion:

i hadn’t heard of optism before today, but i’m glad they heard about the SXSW talk, and added their thoughts…thanks!

@OPENForum came to my talk at SXSWi this year.  this is a nice write-up.  thanks a bunch!…

this is what i look like when running my mouth!

@PublishersWkly said nice things:

always interesting to hear or read what someone heard you say, especially when it’s as well-written as this.  thanks to the good folks at Publisher’s Weekly for being so kind.
