Trust

The unique human ability of trusting has long been essential to all collaboration, participation and to the forming of community and society. Trustmojo.com is a research project exploring the nature of interpersonal trust in the world of web-mediated social spaces.

For Reboot9 we would like to present what we consider being the most important aspects of human trust online by looking at questions such as: How do we establish "architectures for trust" in online social spaces? How do we design for human trusting behavior to be possible? And what type of trust are we seeking to establish? In this talk Eric Wahlforss and myself aim to present some food for thought about why trust is increasingly important and how we as designers and architects must relate to it especially when creating social software.
