Baby Blue

"The continued growth and influence of global civil society face two fundamental problems: increasing monopolization of global information and communication by transnational corporations; and the increasing disparities between the world's info-rich and info-poor populations. Global computer networking makes an electric "end-run" around the first problem and provides an appropriate technological solution to overcome the second."

-- Howard Frederick: Computer Networks and the Emergence of the Global Civil Society.

Also, encountering OPML. (thanks, Dave!)
