We knew it was coming, but China has now been confirmed as having the biggest online population in the world, as the BBC reports:

“More than 253 million people in the country are now online, according to statistics from the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC).

The graphic is eye-catching and the cotton is buttery soft, but what makes this shirt by Tiny Revolutionary extra special has nothing to do with the way it looks or feels. With each purchase of a single tee, $20 is donated directly to Africa Aid, who uses it to cover the cost of a year [...]

I enjoyed a comment on a previous post about Enterprise 2.0 and the future of Knowledge Management so much that I had to write an entire post on it. The comment, which was from Ted Cocheu and which was unusually well-written for this medium, is both passionate and romantic. Online storage is cheap, so [...]
