If you are interested in global collective intelligence here are some recommendations:
My first recommendation is develop a relationship with technology. Sound obvious eh? There are multiple levels to this. One is the actual machine, your machine. The other is the relation to the new. Tools that break the time/space bridge and expand the possibilities for collaboration. New Practices and processes that will enable you/us to develop further our own natural technology for sensing the other (the body/the magic in the middle) into a new edge. Relationship to what is unique about this way of communication in cyberspace. Enter it fearless with fresh eyes, curiosity, expectation. Here are some examples of tools and practices.
TOOLS
I highly recommend people to experience the power of tools like twitter. For those who don´t know this micromedia tool. Some people describe twitter as real-time expanding communal consciousness, microblogging, instant access and presence, propioperception, holoptical tool. In its form it is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? in 140 words. Some examples of its potential are Instant collaborations, dissemination of publication and materials, fostering professional development, collaboration during natural disasters, improve your social networks.
If you wish to try Follow me and I will follow you back. Possibilities are endless!" Read the collaboration stories. or see a short film about it.
dream about being connected in twitter with GAIA people!!!

The wikipedia is one of the most amazing tools to create art objects through collective intelligence. There are many ways of using wikis to expand the knowledge of a given group. Opening wikis for collaborative writting is a wonderful practice. From all the wikis I tried, Wetpaint is a very easy to use tool for this experiments since it has all that editors may need to keep their wiki cool and updated. Really worth trying. Almost no learning curve.

PRACTICE
Tools for synchronous conversations like skype and gyzmo may be used for group meditation sessions, feeling the breath of the other across time/space has its own beauty. If you send me an email I will give you access to a virtual bell you can use for your practice or you can also use a normal bell. Be aware of distance.
I have done meditations as long as 30mins but the less I do is 5mins. Its a wonderful practice for sharing with friends and working colleagues. I find it is great for exiting from one context and entering another. After meditation you can then share your context from a space of silence. Then talk, work, laugh or listen to music together. They are programs like Pretty May that allows to share music while being in skype. You can also do recordings from your sessions.
With practice you will learn to feel the others presence, emotions, attention. Agreements normally used in face to face conversations can be applied online, like breathe, speak to the center and others that support our collective wisdom to emerge not limited to been in the same geographical space.

Guess -as Tom Friedman reminded in Generation Q Courage, Determination and the intention, purpose are complimentary to these actions of synchronous and a-asynchronous communication.
Breaking through diverse sound barriers and bridging gaps -ofen stuntmen like:) -in all quadrants. Maybe not even reasonable at all times but firmly connected and aligned with evolutionary purpose.
And adding enough agency. Oscillating skillfuly between “I” and “WE”. Though often “I” is de-emphasized in Change movements. Fully engaging in every side of each paradoxon.
May the force be with us:):)
Very beautiful. Oscilating skillfully in between the I and the WE. Tasty!
