G+ Diplomacy (Google Ambassadors)

Ambassadors Needed to Promote Good Causes and Crowfunds

Everyday Ambassadors Everywhere addressing Everyday Issues

When the Globcal International Cooperative began promoting humanity related causes and filled the social media networks with the Google Ambassadors, the Facebook Ambassadors, Goodwill Ambassadors of the World and other idealistic projects on Twitter, XING, and LinkedIn, it was their desire to promote social network fair-play and foster best practices in communication in these open social platforms to develop minimum policy standards and protocols for social interaction and public engagement online. The programs they developed gave rise to terms like Facebook diplomacy, various online initiatives building their social capital, and an online training group from within the Facebook Platform which is still active today called the Facebook Diplomatic Corps.

The project in simple terms for the working members of the Globcal Co-op was to make international friends and to promote online social campaigns and cause related projects involving mutual cooperation among themselves online. Since 2008 many of the members have done just that or branched out representing their own personal ideals either independently and/or with the organization with some co-op support on Facebook. They pursued their posts as a personal hobbies or pastimes with genuine results in their local communities, acknowledgement on Facebook from friends, and in their personal representation when travelling abroad for the Globcal organization.

A number of Globcal's members who created these self-styled citizen ambassadorships promoted successful careers as professional goodwill ambassadors and as United Nations Citizen Ambassadors including Karen Cantrell, Djordje Marinkovic, Somchai Quint, Sahro Koshin, May Bouquet-Brown, Mohammad Bakhrieba, Andrew Williams Jr., Luis Cruz Diaz, Babatunde Bello, Yana Korobko and several others; most of the 132 ambassadors however never followed through on the opportunity as it was presented beyond 2010 and were recently administratively removed. Some of the humble efforts of the few who did continue resulted in numerous television interviews, third party news blogs, new careers, and a number of newspaper articles around the world.

Social Ambassadors and Influencers Needed to Promote Good Morals Online

Now in 2013 the 60+ remaining members of Globcal are banding together with their founder, David J. Wright, to take themselves and reform their general effort to go a step further and turn it into a professional one. Beginning on April 1st the team began to fully engage their everyday citizen diplomacy and social influence concept with a practical business model where all the members of the cooperative get paid with fellowships, stipends, grants and also receive cooperative support.

The founder explained that, "by getting paid the ambassadors become accountable for their progressive actions of making friends, soliciting aid and promoting social causes on the behalf of the entire group. We are accomplishing this with the creation of a quota system, establishing a 24 hour office, directing personal follow-ups and providing an international hotline that give the good works practitioners technical, logistical and informational support; the cooperative payments merely address some of their personal and incidental expenses." It makes sense, even if they are paid with Facebook cards, Bitcoins or PayPal to cover small out of pocket expenses; the operation is much better off operated as a cooperative rather than paying a contracted administrative centers like many big charities do. -The token funding devived from their efforts creates integrity, social responsibility, and creates loyalty between the cooperative and its members. The new business model ensures the crowdfund donors, microfinance investors, public patrons, and organizational sponsors are dealt with on a more personal and human level.

Wright said, "its the personalized attention and dedication are what we are after with the new business method, each representative has their own solid project they helped to create or personally approved, then alternatively everyone together works on one large group project each quarter. Many of the social media ambassadors already have professional careers and are involved with the project because they want to be, some have claimed that they do not need or even want to get paid saying they will just pledge their earnings or pass along their grants to the very same projects they are promoting or other charitable concerns they have a personal interest in within their own communities, either way they become accountable to the organization which lends a great degree of integrity to their functions."

The planet and its people certainly need them to get busy soon and become successful in reviving their goodwill agenda with the world's growing list of problems to tackle and long list of organizations with causes to assist. The United Nations (UN) and many international non-government organizations (iNGO)s have begun promoting new urgent campaigns all over the world in the past few years relative to indigenous peoples, water, biodiversity, climate change, food shortages, social reform, fair-trade, and human rights programs.

Right now the UN is heavily engaged with several major international awareness campaigns developed to save the planet and everyone on it; in 2010 they began the Millennium Development Goals with 8 focus areas to fight poverty through 2015, last years climate change treaty in Rio, the International Year of Water Cooperation now in 2013, the UN Decade on Biodiversity until 2020, the Second UN Decade on the Eradication of Poverty through 2017, and the Third Decade on the Eradication of Colonialism until 2020.

Later this year the United Nations will initiate a whole new campaign called the International Year of Family Farming which will heavily involve their Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and over 30 celebrity goodwill ambassadors they have serving in an event developed to bring awareness to solve food shortages and nutrition crises. This especially excites the Wright, because his first hobby interest is home gardening and as he explained the awareness campaign will probably result in the establishment of a new international day to raise awareness, preserve the ideal, and the promotion generates international notability and a new custom within society as with other international days have like Earth Day, Woman's Day and the many other international days that have been established.

Fortunately for the cooperative they have a lot of support, the Decade for Cooperatives or Co-op Decade just began with the International Cooperative Alliance, following the UN International Year of the Cooperative which was held last year.

Getting Paid to Promote Causes and Crowdfunding Projects

Someone really has to think, hmm? "Sharing goodwill and making friends with people that are dear to my own interests, funding worthy projects in my community, well it doesn't sound too bad to me." "Wait a second, so let me get this right; they are going to make me an honorary goodwill ambassador, pay me to make friends, advance my own career, follow my interests, and become a super hero that saves the world?" Yep that's the idea!

The networks and forums available to find groups of willing and capable protagonists and cause activists was limited at the time Globcal began because everyone was too busy learning about social networking to be focused on anything else, so they had to wait until the social networks could grow enough to accommodate a greater number of people with social networking abilities with a great number of interests other than just learning about social networking and tagging each other online with photos of roses and waterfalls.

Like many things ideas often come before their time, as was the case for Globcal, but fortunately thanks to the determined patience of a few of the original organizers that stayed on the ball to continue their efforts in Facebook and Google, a few of their original projects they created survived the wait as great but impossible ideas, that is until now. Fortunately they were poised well enough to prepare and advance their opportunity now at the right moment to become involved in the crowdfunding craze.

It took nearly five years of people using social networks to gain enough experience to do things other than just focus in how to social network from 2006-2012 before enough people could learn and the network extended to smartphones. According to Wright, "the program will create over 1000 new jobs worldwide for adept and sharp young social media professionals who enjoy promoting positive human interaction, generating goodwill, and influencing their peers in the social network platforms in every country where people use the Internet. If they sharp and really know how to use the applications and features available in the different platforms like Google+, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, FourSquare and a number of others, then they can develop a great number followers based on their expertise or popularity which translates to 'social capital' then the world can become theirs within their interest area."

Wright is counting on the gaining popularity of the new crowfunding platforms and the already popular microfinancing sites creating a special but definite niche and need for the types of programs he and his group at Globcal have been developing. The changes are giving Wright and the social network ambassadors broad new horizons.

Social Media Ambassadors to Promote Good Values Everyday

Wright and others like Kate Otto, who recently wrote the book "Everyday Ambassador," are changing the ideals and concepts of what it means to be and become a so-called ambassador and practice citizen based track II diplomacy, public diplomacy for your state, cultural diplomacy, or goodwill diplomacy in the 21st century. Becoming an ambassador for an organization or cause is becoming a popular, fashionable and sophisticated way to force positive change, create peace, feed the hungry and save the planet.

To follow and continue the trend, Globcal is prepared with changing ideas and is making adaptations modeled behind new functionality of platforms and learned (practiced) techniques (like the use of social tags and hashing) to penetrate social networks with new searchable interest based sub-networks, interest lists, and social circles that are being self-generated by unknowing users in the great cloud of cyberspace to find the right target audiences attracted to different projects and ideals based on their interests.

The organization is working hard with the United Nations Committee on the Promotion and Advancement of Cooperatives (COPAC) and redeveloping itself under the guidelines and auspices of the International Cooperative Alliance, founded in 1895 and the Inter-Parliamentary Union which was founded in 1889. Once conformed and further internationalized legally within three member states, they indicate that they will apply for ESCOSOC status with the United Nations.

For further information you can find them on Facebook and on Google+ with the new programs they have under development and are signing up new ambassadors now with priority for all of those who originally participated as Google Ambassadors.

We found two popular active programs currently being operated by Globcal on Facebook and several on Google. Currently their most popular projects are Goodwill Ambassadors of the World and the Facebook Ambassadors.

Ambassador Sean Penn Wins the 2012 Nobel Peace Summit Award

Sean Penn gets peace prize.

(AP) 26 April 2012 - Sean Penn gave an emotional speech Wednesday as he accepted an award from a gathering of Nobel Peace Prize laureates for his humanitarian work in Haiti, urging the world community to help the earthquake-ravaged country.

"It's an overused phrase I know, but I trust you know its genuine today, I am humbled. I'm trembling and I like it," Penn said after accepting the 2012 Peace Summit Award from former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, who was joined on stage by the Dalai Lama and former Polish President Lech Walesa.

He used his speech at the 12th World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates to urge the world community to remember Haiti and invest in the country's future and President Michel Martelly, who took office in May 2011.

"We have a very short window to support this team of the Haitian people's choosing," Penn said.

Papers in Penn's hands shook and he became emotional at times during his speech as he described conditions in Haitian refugee camps or told the story of a Haitian police officer who lost his family in the earthquake. Penn also warned that if Haiti fails it could become a harbor for narcotics trafficking and terrorism near the United States.

Penn has become a major player in efforts to rebuild Haiti after the January 2010 earthquake that devastated the island nation. Penn spends at least half his time in Haiti.

"He actually exchanged his home in Malibu for a tent," Udo Janz, United Nations high Commissioner for Refugees, said when he introduced Penn to accept the award. "Think of it as the Oscar for your humanitarian commitment Sean." - Associated Press

Sean Penn urges more aid for Haiti

CHICAGO — (AFP) Actor and activist Sean Penn urged more aid for Haiti as it struggles with the "enormous task" of recovering from the devastating 2010 quake.

"It would take a poet laureate to describe for you the courage and the dignity of (Haiti's) people," Penn said on Wednesday, after accepting an award at the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates for his humanitarian work in Haiti.

"There are no people on earth more willing to pull themselves up by their bootstraps," Penn said.

"But as Dr. Martin Luther King said, it's fine to tell a man to pull himself up by his own bootstraps, but evil to tell a man to do so without boots."

The situation for many Haitians remains horrific more than two years after the devastating January 12, 2010 earthquake that flattened large parts of Port-au-Prince and damaged much of the south of the country, Penn said.

"Take a look at Cite Soleil some time, where 240,000 Haitians -- men, women and children -- following every light rain, sleep in a black water solution of sewage and toxins, garbage and pigs," Penn said, his voice cracking with emotion.

"Where rape and gun violence are a daily occurrence."

The magnitude 7.0 quake killed 250,000 people and displaced hundreds of thousands. According to UN figures, the quake killed, injured or displaced one in six of the Caribbean nation's entire population of almost 10 million.

Penn, who has been named Ambassador at Large for Haiti, expressed confidence in Haitian President Michel Martelly, who is trying to ramp up stalled reconstruction efforts.

"We have four years to solidify the seeding of institutions that can create sustainable democratic solutions. Four years that without a reinvigorated surge of support will leave the people's will up for grabs," Penn said.

"It's quite a task, but a doable one with investments in agriculture education, health care, housing, clean water and recognizing it's a country of nine million people, but it's also only nine million people."

Designated prime minister Laurent Lamothe told AFP last month that his country was seeking another $12 billion in aid.

But the head of the UN mission to Haiti has said that the political situation there remains "fragile" and that delays in forming a new government are hindering the recovery and economic development.

"Every time that Haiti is without a government, a prime minister and cabinet... violence and the feeling of lack of security grow," Mariano Fernandez, head of the MINUSTAH peacekeeping force, said in March.

Even before the earthquake Haiti was the poorest country in the Americas.

Penn insisted that failure is not an option and that the United States has a vested interest in Haiti's success.

"There is the human cost of poverty," Penn said.

"But if that on its own is not compelling, note that increased instability that attrition may bring to a Caribbean island (nation) an hour and half off our shores would be an open invitation to a new explosion of narco-trafficking, terrorist influences and paramilitaries."

Google Ambassadors are also Goodwill Ambassadors

noreply@blogger.com (David Jeffrey Wright) — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 17:04:00 +0000

Who ever said that Google Ambassadors can't be Goodwill Ambassadors?

With the advent of Google+ and the ability that people have to establish themselves online with a verified name identity social networking is becoming much more fun and safer by eliminating fakes and phoneys that want to disrupt social networking communities with hate speech and radical causes.

The fact of the matter is that we all want social networking to perpetuate positive social relationships based on positive interactions with others. Recently the Facebook Ambassadors began an initiative to promote goodwill toward others using the social networking platform, by sharing posts about celebrities that have have become goodwill ambassadors for the United Nations and others that work as goodwill ambassadors for organizations all over the world.

Here on Google there are now thousands of celebrities posting as themselves because of the improved security and flexibility that the Google Platform provides, and as you may know most of them have pet causes that interest and inspire them based on their own personal interests.

Not all of us are celebrities nor do we want to be, but just as well we have similar interests that motivate us and concerns about the world that we want to see resolved; issues like hunger, war, political conflict, global disasters, humanity, disease, and the environment concern us all and are issues that can be reached and resolved through steps like education, acknowledgement and positive attention by individuals and the global community. Others may become inspired to go out and work on the front lines to deliver food to people in another country because of posts that you share, or more donations may reach another place and make the difference between life and death for someone.

Our original initiative as ambassadors for all of Google's products was to promote the good use of the Google platform which becomes more communicative and functional everyday. Our revised initiative will promote the good use of Google's products to post and distribute good news about good people tackling big issues using the Google Platform.

We have established a new Google+ Page for our goodwill, good news project that promotes the use of Google+ as the preferred platform for the Goodwill Ambassadors of the World. Please follow us there and add us to your circles.

Goodwill Ambassadors of the World on Google+

In the coming weeks we will be announcing exactly how you can be officially acknowledged as an Ambassador of Goodwill on Google+ through our progressive social networking initiative to promote good deeds on a global scale. We also encourage everyone to help us identify people who are celebrities working as goodwill ambassadors on G+ and regular people who professionally work as a citizen, cultural or as goodwill ambassador in local communities, states, organizations, or in foundations and get them to join us here on Google+ to participate in our program.

Peace and Goodwill to Everyone!

Expert Users of 57 Google Products and Services

noreply@blogger.com (David Jeffrey Wright) — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 09:33:00 +0000

Ask the Google Ambassadors what the Buzz is all about.

The Google Ambassadors were developed and established based on Google's introduction of new products and the need for a group of experts that could share their knowledge with others at a professional level.

In November 2009 several social network professionals made a call out to the world from a well-developed Facebook network of ethical users engaged in public diplomacy to engage and promote the concept of an expert users group of Googlers, from this the Google Ambassadors and Expert Users were created.

The group that was developed, created and promoted using the very same Google products and services like 'Google Groups,' 'Google Wave,' 'Blogger' and several others and we are just getting started, we are using other products like Google Docs in the background to manage the entire affair. There are still a number of products our group is using that have not been fully incorporated yet, because we do not want a mess or to overwhelm anyone.

Great care was taken in the development of this initiative; bringing together the expert users of Google's products involved individual evaluations of each member, their profiles, their work, and in some cases their temperament because of people's natural tendency to be egoistical and/or subjective with their personal agendas. Last month we had one ambassador trying to create a perfect storm in the Google Wave with contention for our general program so he could personally benefit through being an axis point for communication. The idea is to create an access point for those interested in Google products to get good sound advice and consultation as needed, not monopolize or capitalize off of the goodwill of Google or its integral development in all of our lives as a socially responsible company, it is coming along very well.

We are sure we made the right decisions in taking this a step at a time, the success of the Google Ambassadors work together as a group and the network we have developed in general will be based on the appropriate presentation of individuals with hard tested knowledge of these individual products and the professional presentation of the Google products as expert users. Some of the experts we selected are very knowledgeable, versatile individuals and have great understanding of the Google Enterprise as a whole, but we limited experts to selecting three products in which they can specialize officially, but this does not limit them privately from promoting other Google products in their professional careers.

There are over 100 Google Ambassadors at this very moment representing 57 different Google products that are web accessible and collaborative in some way. The ambassador program is currently establishing a point of contact for these ambassadors to find opportunities to train others at a professional level. Some ambassadors have already established training programs and are circulating these opportunities in their own local communities with small and medium businesses, some are developing on-line training programs, one even mentioned establishing a professional Google Help Desk (hotline), and yet others are simply helping other individual users in a technical capacity at no cost to the person seeking assistance because they want to do it.

Everyone is very excited about the recent and new progress of Google in the social network realm and the upcoming integration of many new products which will come into play as Google is ready to implement them. There were many concerns last week over privacy issues with Google Buzz, but Google being as responsible as they are these issues were quickly resolved and are continuing to be resolved.

Join our group as a follower of our blog, member of the ambassadors group, or follow our news on Facebook as we move to the next level and introduce our experts, developers, and even a few members of the Google staff who have been so essential in the development of this great initiative. A revolution is on the horizon for how we use our computers, how we communicate, socialize and collaborate our work together as a team.

When thinking Google Ambassadors don't forget the Google Student Ambassadors

noreply@blogger.com (David Jeffrey Wright) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:26:00 +0000

Students spread the Google Gospel

Web giant recruits college students to show their peers how to use Google applications for homework and exams. By Dennis Carter, Assistant Editor, eSchool News Online

Boise State University senior and self-described Google fanatic Taylor Bell landed his dream job this semester when the internet mega-site hired him as an ambassador, charged with evangelizing Google's array of applications to tech-hungry college students.

Google has 121 ambassadors on 69 campuses nationwide after sifting through thousands of applications and awarding the company's first ambassadorships to students last year. The Google student representatives are not paid, but they are rewarded with free water bottles and T-shirts, said Miriam Schneider, a product marketing manager for Google.

Google delivers online tutorials to its ambassadors, showing what features they should pitch to students in on-campus meetings.

Bell said a recent lesson he gave to a group of Boise State football players showed how they can collaborate in groups of up to 10 people using Google Docs, an application that lets students create a study sheet in real time in remote locations, for example.

"It kind of blows their minds a little bit," said Bell, 25, a communications major. "A lot of people didn't have any idea you could do some of these things. … I don't think they realize how powerful some of these tools really are."

Schneider said spreading the word during major product rollouts like Google Wave--an application that allows for real-time communication using videos, maps, photos, and text--helps the company create tools that better cater to students, a demographic that often uses Google products before the general public.

"We want [ambassadors] to really be foot soldiers on campus … who are the early adopters," Schneider said. "It's important for us to know exactly how students are using our products … and to build a bridge between Google and the people who are actually using the products. For us, it really shapes the way the products are developed."

Google's student outreach isn't limited to the college campuses staffed with ambassadors. The company has launched a Twitter page, a blog, a Facebook page, and a YouTube channel all dedicated to communicating with students.

The company uses the blog to push applications that can be useful in the lecture hall and during late-night library study sessions.

On Nov. 17, a Google blog post trumpeted the launch of Google Sites templates, described as "pre-packaged sites that anyone can use to make creating your own web site even easier."

"This is especially valuable for students so that when you're making your site you can now skip a few steps, and instead of making a site from scratch, start with a template," the blog says. "You can use site templates to organize, publish, and share information about your school, class, projects, fraternity or sorority, school club, intramural teams, or any other organization or event."

Google invited a handful of students, including Bell and Daniel Miller, a Google ambassador at the University of Washington, to the annual EDUCAUSE conference in Denver Nov. 3-6. Students manned the mammoth Google both on the conference's exhibit floor and helped answer questions from passersby. Miller said he has helped Washington students create an exam study guide in Google Docs, a program they were only somewhat familiar with.

"I sort of walked them through it at first," Miller said, "and they took to it and really figured it out."

To qualify for a Google ambassadorship--which lasts one academic year--applicants must be enrolled in a North American college or university, demonstrate passion for technology, and commit to about five hours a month for planning Google events on campus. Each ambassador is expected to host three to four events during the school year.

Bell said his ambassadorship proves that Google doesn't judge applications solely by grade point average. With a GPA under 3.0, Bell thought his chances were slim, but he wrote about his decade-long study of Google's rise to prominence in his online application--a strategy he believes clinched his ambassadorship. "I wasn't trying to just write anything they wanted to hear," Bell said.

Bell's loyalty to the search giant was evident in 2004, when Google unveiled its eMail program, called Gmail. Gmail subscriptions were only available through online invites on a limited basis, so Bell paid someone $5 through PayPal to eMail him an invitation.

"I knew that Gmail was going to be huge, and I'm the type of person who has to get in on the ground floor," he said. "It's fast and it's simple, and I haven't looked back since."

Being Boise State's Google go-to, Bell said, hopefully will evolve into a full-time, post-college job with the company.

"My passion for technology mixed with my love of continued education really connects with [Google's] message," he said. "I can't help but have a huge grin on my face whenever I talk about it."

Introducing the Google Ambassadors

noreply@blogger.com (David Jeffrey Wright) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:07:00 +0000

The Google Ambassadors are the same great people that use Google everyday all over the world. They are the users of Google products, the same are also developers, beta testers, and the guinea pigs of the Google laboratory. The ambassadors are involved in the introduction of new ideas, exchange of information, generating feedback, and they are an integral spontaneous development of Google themselves.

The 'Google Ambassadors' are a group of self-styled volunteer social networkers and developers that are well-experienced in the creation and management of Google sites, groups, blogs, documents, and much more; besides promoting Google in general through using Google products, they also represent others that are less knowledgeable or too occupied to do their own project or personal profile development on-line. The ambassadors use good old-fashioned ethical values and traditional diplomatic protocol in their personal presentations and in creating presentations representative of others. Besides representing individuals who need special representative services they also collaborate with Google engineers and in-house developers by sharing ideas, training others, and providing solutions as members of forums and groups on Google.

The Google ambassadors represent the appropriate use of social network tools and the Internet in general in both theory and practice, their identities are individually verified and qualified based on demonstrated experience and knowledge by the program organizers. To be considered an ambassador in our special group potential members should be affiliated with any number of relative professional groups and/or organizations and must have their professional profile publicly displayed and available for viewing and reference on a number of business and casual social network sites referenced from their own Google Account Profile.

The Google ambassador's group and ideal for the program is being organized by Col. David J. Wright, and professionals from Globcal International who created a similar program and format on Facebook which uses a slightly different concept to interact with others securely and appropriately to promote social causes and goodwill. There he and his organization took the idea of Facebook diplomacy (citizen-based public diplomacy) and formalized it to develop and create democratic world-view based on basic and common values of all people and cultures connected there. The idea involves the concept of a 'no borders world' as we all currently share on-line and the generation of conversations that can be shared globally among all who are involved in the social network platform; in the practice of this activity they emulate best practices of the representative network and discuss development of standards for social network interaction and use.

The activities are overseen by Globcal International a non-profit cooperative founded by Wright which manages the groups and programs for the public benefit and the development of individual ambassadors' social capital and professional realization as experts in the field of social media relations. Ambassadors do not have to be members of or associated with the cooperative, however it does not hurt since there is no cost,all members are act as independent agents.

Ambassador group participants are unpaid for their stint as ambassadors because they are not actual Google employees; but as Google lab participants, developers, coders, beta-testers, writers, and expert users they are considered the best use practitioners and keep up-to-date with changes and new technology allowing them to freelance their Google expertise by taking on individual projects working with others.

Being an ambassador for Google can be as simple as using Google Labs products or using 'adsense' and 'adwords' or it can be as complex as training others as an independent agent; such as small businesses, governments, and corporations in your part of the world as to how to use and implement Google for maximum efficiency and benefit.

The Google Ambassador group officially begins on December 01, 2009 and anyone can become a Google Ambassador upon completion of a questionnaire and demonstrating adequate knowledge about Google's more popular products like GoogleMail, GoogleWave, Google Chrome, Blogger, GoogleSites, and others, the best part is that if you are not approved as an ambassador immediately you can learn more about Google and become an ambassador afterwards. All ambassadors are also asked to comply with a special code of ethics and conduct developed by the group users.

The advantages of becoming an ambassador include invitations to use third party software, other Google developers applications early, and opportunities to make independent presentations about Google in the off-line world through your own company or self as a contractor or guest speaker.

Anyone can join the Google Ambassadors Group and share in the knowledge to become a great Internet user or a social and business network expert. No technical talk, it is all about using Google for the best network connectivity ever, if you need help ambassadors will always be glad to make professional references for you.

Google is a complete communications and collaboration solution; no more faxes, no email, no telephone, nothing... just connect and associate with competent people in social networks and others that have the Internet. There is no one you cannot contact in the world; that is, if they have a computer and they use Google, you just need to know how.

This blogspot is a production of the Google Wave self-styled volunteer ambassadors and fans from all over the world and a handful of Google Wave developers.
