My work acts as a bridge between innovation and culture. Author of seven (and counting) books, including RAPID Evolution and An American GULAG, I am also the co-founder of Votelink.com, the Voice of the Net. Votelink, home of the first electronic voting system on the Internet, is now relaunching to bring the green revolution to the local level... nationwide. Another organization I run is TheEducationExchange.org. I have an intuitive understanding of what works on the Net, and the Omidyar.net is the best model I've seen for building community worldwide. I'm glad to become a member of this visionary group!
