What did people say about us this week?
- Andrew Jones of the Tall Skinny Kiwi talks about how the Wikinomics ideas of transparency, generosity, and trust relates to the Bible and Christian ideals.

- Wikinomics and how mass collaboration will fundamentally change learning was one of the topics at the recent NECC 2008 conference.

- Paula Thornton of the Fast Forward Blog talks about Don Tapscott’s economic tsunami in reference to the User Revolution and the Age of Aquarius.
