For the past few months I've been an active member of Twine.com; a beta semantic web app riddled with AI to help us organize, share and discover information. The beta is still under heavy construction, but at this point in time, I've migrated entirely from Del.icio.us, personal wikis and similar online services and over to Twine.

A twine about the concept of an emerging global brain. What are the similarities and differences between the Internet and the human brain and nervous system? What are the steps that are leading us towards a global brain? What are the implications of the global brain?

The goal of this twine is to gather relevant information and people around the project of establishing a new adressing layer in cyberspace : semantic space. Semantic space is designed to augment : - semantic interoperability - distributed social semantic computing - exchange of personal and collective interpretation of vast amouts of data - collective intelligence reflexivity

We view Digital Ecosystems to be the digital counterparts of biological ecosystems, exploiting the self-organising properties of biological ecosystems, which are considered to be robust, self-organising and scalable architectures that can automatically solve complex, dynamic problems.

Newropeans is a trans-European political project founded to democratise the European Union. We will stand for elections to the European Parliament in 2009 in all 27 member states. We are building a large network of Europeans and an organisation voicing the common expectations of European citizens. Our projects and activities will increasingly influence the public agenda. Newropeans is built and financed by its members and supporters, independent from EU and national institutions.

Extreme Tagging Systems allow for tagging the tags and tagging relations between the tags.

The Future of the Internet - a federating theme for activities on future networks, software and service architectures, networked media systems and the Internet of Things. Over the last 20 years society, economy and technology evolved in many directions and into new areas. Many of these evolutions have created opportunities which must be taken into account when crafting future Networks.

Recently twitterdata.org introduced a format for sending semantic triplets through Twitter. An alternative format is, of course, our RoboCrunch Action Protocol.

In particular, I am thinking about intentional communities -- communities in which people live geographically near one another, and participate in community together, by choice. They may live together or not, dine together or not, work together or not, worship together or not -- but at least they need to live within some limit of proximity to one another and participate in community together. These are the minimum requirements. But is there a model that works? Or is it time to design a new model that fits the time and place in which we live better?
