Connected Citizens: The Power, Potential and Peril of Networks
Connected Citizens: The Power, Potential and Peril of Networks – Knight Foundation. Ten years ago, a tiny web site asked people to volunteer to write their own encyclopedia. Today, Wikipedia is the most widely used reference work in the world. Rapid advances in digital media and technology are changing how we connect to information and each other.

The Cordoba Initiative
I would like to direct your attention to the Cordoba Initiative. Although their tagline “Improving Muslim-West Relations” would have you think that they are unaware of the last generation of civilizational debates and identity politics, they actually show a lot of potential.

If they would only supply donuts, I would be truly happy.
