Following up on the work of the Electronic Information Exchange System (EIES) of the mid-1970s to early 1990s, inXys presents a communication model that is uncommon on the Internet today. Many of today's information systems follow the simple forum model that lends to a free-for-all discussion format, or the social feed model that games algorithmic delivery of content designed to spark reactive engagement. To offer an alternative to these inferrior models, inXys leverages what we had learned researching human behavior in our prior research of connectivity and information systems to create a better system.
The Information Exchange is a public forum, open to all, based on the work originally done by Murray Turoff and Starr Roxanne Hiltz on the Electronic Information Exchange System and the many contributions by the staff of the Computerized Conferencing and Communications Center at New Jersey Institute of Technology.
