Here you can read about the submission for a project to help small businesses in developing countries.

It involves the Biz-o-mat, a successor to the internationally recognised CyberInstitute.

If you like it, you can support is by giving it stars (click on the vertical line) by COB today.

Please, help fight global poverty!!!

Thank you.

Information Barter, and disruption

I just submitted this as a question to Howard Rheingold for the session on disruption.

Listed here for anyone to comment on Information Barter.

Given that empowerment of disempowered people is a positive disruptive force;
Given that everyone knows something (for example, the local rural bus timetable);
Given that it is empowering to share what you know, to have others value your knowledge;
Given that people value things more if the things (including information) are not provided free;

Then what about information barter? - the process where information is traded for other information.

The CyberInstitute is adding to the “cornucopia of the commons” with online information for small businesses in developing countries, and investigating the use of information barter.
