About me:

Interested in the relational and conversational nature of social learning and change.

I have initiated at Twine a group of Twines related to my interests. Please visit the gate to the village.

Well, I hope your plans for the first Twinerian conference in the Maldives progresses well, my friend :*).

Meanwhile, I've taken it upon myself to try and write something about the Global Brain and more on the financial crisis within Google Knol's debates area:

Now that Obama is elected I hope he will continue to "walk the talk" as I explained previously:

There are some really interesting posts on the financial crisis on Google KNOL by a fellow of the CATO Policy institute:

You can see my comments on that thread.

It's unfortunate events with Twine turned out as they did. My associations with Google KNOL precede my associations with Twine.

A friend at Google recommended me as a very early contributor to KNOL and moving forward I'm going to be there on their debates strand, etc. where serious policy makers are trying to make sense of the world's "wicked problems" and find solutions.

Twine = never the Twain shall meet.

We've gone our separate ways.

I'm going to publish more on Google KNOL in the future and also on debategraph.org as well as on helium.com.

Sense mapping still has some way to go; mindmeister and debategraph and some of the Flash work from www.bestario.org are good beginnings.

Now that I'm off-Twine I'll be doing more of my own code work.

I'd like to get to some kind of 3D sensemaking where we can tessellate and follow information strands the way MSNBC's prototype Spectra does:

It would be quite powerful to tie this in with Google Finance into some 3D sense-making tool, I believe!

Please also see this company: Quantum4D

http://www.quantum4d.com/applications.html

They also have some very interesting economic modeling and visualization tools for country and financial market information. Unfortunately, they only have an enterprise offering.

What the world really needs is some sort of open source version. It can be built with Papervision3D, an open source venture from MIT labs.

Anyway, lots of code work for me to think about re. how it all fits together...

I read this in the 'Huffington Post' and thought you may be interested:

* http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/02/man-versus-machine_n_140115.html

It's about man versus machine and includes comments from leading economists and AI specialists about whether the financial crisis could have been prevented if humans had harnessed the technology better.

At 2:10am on September 10, 2008, Giorgio Bertini said…: Hi David,

Thanks for the two ideas: Essence and Luca's work. These are my tasks of learning my way in and finding synergy between dialogical spaces. I will study and come back to you. Thanks again.

At 11:57pm on September 9, 2008, David Price said…: Hi, Giorgio.

Welcome to the group—and great to encounter you in another space.

Let us know if you think that any one within your network of universities and technical colleges would be interested in participating in Essence 2009—and are you aware of Luca's work at the University of Naples?
