A New Collective Intelligence Friend
I have made a new friend recently, Jean-François Noubel, who talks about collective intelligence with great insight on his bloggy wiki The Transitioner. He is a beautiful being, as well as a creative genius in this work. I'm delighted and so lucky to have met him. With him, a few days ago, I had my third conversation using Skype.

If you have friends or associates in foreign lands, consider Skype.

Journalism that Matters is trying to revision that challenge into a create... [read more]
