Jan 03= Global Londoners favourite network is ecademy...why, because of experiments with social networks

Go here if you want to add your city's nomination of favourite global network


At the ecademy, two main types of attractions designed to develop social networks are:
-conveneing a meeting in a city that starts up a big inquiry & network of practice (example in this pos)
-virtual clubs (example in next post)

>ecademy.com is the largest professional network offering free membership for basic networking options with over 20000 members. London's real meetings provided the original groundwork for this worldwide space launch. In joyful recognition of valuetrue community's 2004 Year of Transparency, here's a note just recieved from one of ecademy's most linkedin beings: Canadian Transparency guru Don Tapscott's Ecademy lecture was definitely the most popular with Ecademy's management team and was voted one of the best of all time.For those of you who couldn't attend here's the video... of The Don

Clubs @ ecademy

To access most of the ecademy's bookmarks, you may need to quickly register for basic membership (20000+ members, 100+ countries) which is free. Currently the basic membership permits joining up to 3 Clubs- these are virtual forums on a particular topic

Ones that I am currently in are (why not post yours if you find an interesting collection):

A Collaboration Cafe-A junction between 2 main issues - how to practive collaborative knowledge management and connect real & virtual modes of using our time in colectively intelligent ways; how a city like London keeps ahead with cafe and other meeting formats in pursuing the vision of being First Collaboration Knowledge City

B Sustainable Prosperity - a club hosted out of Pakistan on how can we sustainably lift up rural and other communities currently experiencing global poverty

C Unification - to tell you the truth, I dont know the difference between B&C and will try and ask Sadiq to merge these one day, but meanwhile the futurists circles I have networked in to since 1984 have nominated 2005 as year of poverty resolution, so I better participate in both clubs as leading influencers of grassrots curricula development at Global University where < a href="http://waterangels.blogspot.com/">Water's Humanity & developing an international climate of cooperation around Russia are currently our 2 hottest study areas.

If you have questions about clubs at ecademy, why not post them to meet at wcbn007@easynet.co.uk - I don't claim to have answers myself but expect I can find someone who does (Londoners like me and London First Collaboration knowledge city gratefully acknowledge the ecademy's founding as the premier Global London network)
