Welcome to Canary Islands!

Canaries are, have always been, a natural bridge between Europe, Africa & Americas.

Today, our seven beautiful islands receive about 12 million tourists each years, thanks to the best climate of the world & to the most advanced infrastructures (airports, harbors, hosting & services) in the west African area.

Our coast are also the sad scene of global injustice. Day after day, we feel sick seeing the African people risking their life to come here, at Europe's weak fronteer.

Geographically, we are not in Europe, we are in Africa, specially with an expensive Oil...

Here, we have green technologies, desalted water, agronomics, NGOs, GOs, Universities, investors, volunteers... We need to diversify our economy & we should be quite a useful platform for international cooperation & fair trade, as a perfect link between North & South, as much as South-South.

So please feel free to introduce yourself & inform us of your projects.
Kind regards
Stef

Ok, now I'm starting to see where you go master... I didn't investigate Orkut for the moment, maybe it's time, let's do it together & share experience, ok?

Since this conversation is getting quite technical & Open Social focused, I suggest we moove to a new discussion in the group IT & Social Media, ok boss?

Thanks for sharing my friend, I think your are pointing a crucial aspect of future networked organizations, let's investigate how.

Take care

truth is what he's not really a good speaker.. And I'm not sure to understans what is really OpenSocial.

In this slideshow, he first reminds us the growing of abstraction in the Web from mail to 2.0
Then he present the OpenSocial project what google supports, usable in the goole tooling like Orkut , which offers 4 APIs that compose Open Social:
Context (ex. personal details)
Data persistence (ex.friend links)
Activity lists (ex. remote blogs activities)
Messaging (ex. exchanging with friends)

Orkut is one another new tool of google, more or less with the same features facebook has, maybe offering more openness within its APIs...

The OpenSociale project seems very large... and we have to explore it.

Did any one has already had a look on this project ?

Greetings All!

Stef has invited me to join in the group, and I am very excited to be sharing thoughts and ideas with everyone. I must say that my Espanol is quite weak (2 yrs. in high school) but would be grateful for a few lessons...
