A lot of the work I've done recently is in the Environment sector, on whole of sector data, information and knowledge issues. One of the fascinating things that's starting to happen is national and international federation of biodiversity data. I really like the intro video on http://www.eol.org/home.html and the promise this sort of thing has for better managing the world we live in.
It's stylistically quite reminiscent of the original Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us video reated by Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University. So it's also interesting to see these kinds of communication methods being quickly adopted and repurposed into different contexts.
For me these are all examples of the emergence of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's Noosphere. The thinking mind of the living breathing earth.
