Abstract: A method and system (60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120) for discovering and generating a new insight via a network. An user intentionally enters a piece of data, information, or knowledge into a client system and sets its level of sharing. With no further action by the user the data, information, or knowledge is then transferred across a network until a second piece of data, information, or knowledge, is encountered on a client or server system. The two pieces of data, information, or knowledge, are compared using multiple analytical methods in order to discover the level of matching. A new insight is generated when the level of matching is considered sufficient. The match level and both pieces of data, information, or knowledge, are then packaged as a new insight. This insight package is then transferred across the network to the system of both originating users. The insight is then presented to the users for further action.

Abstract: A portable data storage and communication system includes a disk-shaped device having at least one universal contact symmetrically arranged about a center of the disk-shaped device. The disk-shaped device has at least one electrical component arranged therein which is coupled with the universal contact. An interface device receives the disk-shaped device and has at least one defined interface contact. The interface contact operatively couples with the universal contact regardless of the orientation of the disk-shaped device in the interface device.
