Samo, samo, eh? Look, is there a chance you might use this space to work through a few ideas for funding. It's getting a bit tiring to see that so much money is spent on the production of information (OER) and so little consideration is given to improving the communications between the global groups buried inside institutions. I was just reading this blog; about Michael's idea for global uni phone system GUPS). It won't seem very interesting until you understand Michael is responsible for Gizmo, which is a SIP (session Initiated Protocol) version of Skype. So GUPS should really really be called GUMMS = Global Uni Multi Media System. Even that might not seem very interesting until I mention that the Internet has its own telephonic country code, (+87810) which has never been developed to provide for a global infrastructure. "Popular social networking sites like facebook and Bebo are changing the human fabric of the Internet and the way we interact with each other.MySpace, with over 200 million visitors, has become the digital equivalent of hanging out at the mall, coffee shop or bars. Users load these sites with photos, news about music groups and detailed profiles of their likes and dislikes". The missing component is something that links all the different groups together, allowing users to connect to friends on other social networks without having to continually change or migrate themselves". Interested? Hi Guys,

Look, is there a chance you might use this space to work through a few ideas for funding.
