Wow, this is the best thing to happen to Java since .NET came out.

Yes, Online communication that drives to offline interaction in between creatives, whatever flavour, skill and knowledge, can certainly find out the answers - collectively - when meeting up! I was just drawing a line to the "extremes", that it cannot be met "all the way". As we know now :). Peace, Anders (and that .txt has its drawbacks to communicate properly was illustrated by all the carriage returns disappearing when my comment came out from moderation today ;) <--- emoticon ...)

Maybe, Anders, or maybe not. Do we all collectively feel pain when we view the tragedies taking place around the world.

There are certainly some senses that are obscured via the process of net-based knowledge flow but I envisage in time that 'empathic' tagging will emerge as a communications feature - this has already begun with TXT / Instant Messaging 'smilies' and other such textual emotive contexts.

Yes, most information in its current form is dull per se - enlivening this could well be one of the goals of 'creative technologists'.

Thanks for the feedback!

One drawback that is mentioned in some of the comments here, that I would like to elaborate upon a bit. Collective Consciousness in the far end cannot be grasped. Intellectual, Emotional and Spiritual flavours of intelligence is hard enough to grasp, but the transformational experience of e. g. the flow that takes place at the "open space meeting" offline is primarily and predominantly transferred and processed on a "quantum level", that any kind of text syntax (or whatever symbolic language human-created) cannot grasp fully. E. g. - how can a p2p process on the net flow with sense of intuition, especially since the "law of two feet" is not visible, immediately, in a Virtual Community of Practice? With a strong sense, you can sense someone "leave" anyways, but "being online" is not the same as "being present". Levels of communication are: Information, Communication, Transfer. Text on the Net is dominated by the first level there - Information. And yes, information about people is one thing, knowing you have changed the course of history in an Interaction and that Transaction leading to Transfer and Transformation, I believe is only done offline, non-verbal, and the knowledge is predominantly intuitive. I hope my text (sic!) makes sense, it is hard to explain something that only can be sensed, in the end. Experienced first hand. Directly. Instant. You know what I talk about, Ed. E. g. when we met in London in January 2005... Peace, Anders -- Sustainopreneurship* Facilitator RE:LOVE THE WORLD *Sustainopreneurship = Entrepreneurship and Innovation for Sustainability

Hi Finbar,

Agreed - the language is a bit absorbing at times. There are good definitions of what communities of practice are like over at George Por's site : www.community-intelligence.com

The shared-consciousness idea has similar results as the work carried out at wikipedia in that knowledge is created at a single point on the web - accessible via urls.

These days many people are starting or already have social and business profiles in a variety of online communities - the ability to move profiles is brittle at best.

In a peer 2 peer community with an open identity standard communities can form and people can subscribe and unsubscribe to communities, services and data. External communities can integrate services and data, sometimes people too. That's sort of what I'd like to have take place. You might say its re-inventing the wheel yet this way it can also put control of content and syndication back in the author's hands.

So why do it? Knowing what is out there (Google) is one thing, knowing what to do with it (Insight) is entirely another - seamless access to specialised communities of practice would allow for better decisioning. Each practice benefits from the other's intelligence - this could easily and is applied in companies.

I hope through all of this innovation will follow.

"I'd like to see a standard emerge for exchanging 'consciousness' between Communities of Practice. "

A god place to start would be to define 'consciousness' and then 'Communities of Practice'. After which something might just be possible. I'm hoping that you're not thinking of 'consciousness' in its full existential sense. Which would, of course, be both futile and impossible.

Over all the language of this post is far too nebulous. Given that most people are struggling with the 'Semantic Web' what more really can you be asking for?
