Is fluther an example of globalization (3.0)
Thomas Friedman breaks globalization down to three main phases, driven by different forces. In simplest terms, the first was driven by empires (conquering foreign lands to create trade routes), the second was driven by companies (developing as well as exploiting foreign markets), and the third is driven by the global knowledge network – in essence, us.
It seems one of the goals of fluther is to attract new members to add knowledge and address issues with diverse views – and to improve the way it does so. With the Meta section, we often offer suggestions for improvement, and reasons why x or y wouldn’t work – essentially, doing the market research for fluther itself. This in turn makes the way we share information here better for us.
So – is fluther globalization 3.0? And if so…how awesome is that? ;-)
