In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

I'm growing a touch embarrassed by how comfortably I use jargon that just 12 months ago seemed alien to me. I was talking to a customer about how web 2.0 might work for them and after a while she said that's interesting but if we make our site web 2.0 will it still work for people who use the internet properly! Laura you will be there as things evolve!

Was only chatting to Paul Webster (ICT Hub/NAVCA) on FB last night very much on the them you mention in your comment above! Also on how we shift the language to be meaningful, ie Social Media, web 2.0 scares the already scared. I think we can help drive that change which is most definately needed here in ye ole UK!

Much of what all of us seem to write about/work on are culture changes within organisations towards sharing trust and collaborating more generously. If we can create a net2uk which demonstrates where and how that works and encourages existing organisations to relax into this world, it's worth the effort.

Some people said ... "let's fix" ... others "let's do something better". I hope we can do something of both, with a balance towards something better.
