Wikinomics
前晚去参加了Singapore Web Standards Group的聚会。
聚会上Yuhui介绍了Web标准；Chu Yeow介绍了Firefox的一些小秘技；Lucian介绍了微格式（Microformats）。
聚会在中央图书馆的一个会议室进行。也许是那个会议室的设施太好了，刚开始的时候，整个气氛有点象一个IT的研讨会议，比较僵硬，以致于有个朋友迟到了，在门口张望，不敢进去。我也迟到了，不过脸皮厚一点，径直走到前边，坐到了Lucian的旁边。
Chu Yeow没有做什么准备就开始演示了，这种随意反而让会场去掉了拘谨，变成一次真正的交流聚会。
Ivan的博客上对这个聚会有一篇详细的记录。
这次聚会也遇到了一些新加坡其它的网上活跃分子，如老是在录像的Kevin Lim，老是提问题的Coleman，老是在帮人的Preetam，老是讲笑话的Zac，和象她做的网页一般可爱的Veron等等。
这次聚会正是Wikinomics在现实生活中一个小小的体现。
最近的一期HBR Ideacast对Wikinomics一书的作者Don Tapscott的做了一次采访。正好在参加这次聚会的来回途上把这期播客听了两遍。
Tapscott认为，当前的技术让人们很容易就能上网，而现在新的熟悉互联网的一代已经成长起来，成为社会主流。这两个因素共同催生出了一次叫Wikinomics的社会变革。
Tapscott的主要观点是，“互联网已经变成了一个大社区－－从各地来的，不同背景的人有可以利用集体智慧共同解决问题，并完成任务。”
德里之行 1 －Hibiscus Project
When I heard of the Hibiscus project in the first time, James Bond’s tagline, deep voice came across my mind,
“I am Peng, Jacky Peng, from Hibiscus.”
I have read many Chinese spy stories when I was small. In the stories, those Chinese secret projects were usually code-named with flower names.The Hibiscus project, 芙蓉计划 in Chinese, sounds like a James Bond’s secret task to me.
Akwe Amosu introduced me this project few months ago. I was excited about it not just because its sexy name. As Daudi Were pointed out in this Delhi meeting,
“…A lot of the info we get about China comes from the West, and a lot of the info they talk about us comes from the West as well,”
There is a huge gap between both sides. Hibiscus is designed to create an on-line community for Chinese and African, facilitating conversations between both sides. That is something I love to participate and something my little bridge is meant to do.
Ethan and Imnakoya have some great summaries about the meeting. Here are some of my notes and thoughts on Hibiscus.

AV girl for your health
Angel In White – source Joy Loft
The huge words on this big poster read, “Angels In White, the guards of your health.” It is well-known in China that Angels In White stands for nurse. The girl looks fine on the poster. This is a poster on Shuzhou’s street.
Shuzhou is a city near Shanghai. It is the host city of recent 2nd General Assembly and Conference of the Alliance for Healthy Cities (AFHC), an event supported by the World Health Organization (WHO).
This poster is just part of the propaganda of the event. Such poster is very common in China.
Not many people had noticed this poster until someone discovered who the girl on the poster was and where the photo was from.
If you feel the above picture is a bit boring, the one below should raise your eyebrow.
