Facebooking Davos

In the long history of web 2.0, A-Small-World (ASW) has been the most “bcbg” social network. But no longer. Klaus Schwab’s executive assistant Fiona Paua has been emailing power brokers and academics to set up global agenda councils on their new social network WELCOM, co-sponsored by Microsoft, Infosys, Adobe, etc. The idea is that the global agenda councils deal with the big global problems in quarterly video-conferences (and not just in January). Think of Techdirt’s Insight Community writ LARGE. The question is, when will the invitations show up on ebay? And is there a Big-World equivalent for non-behaving members?
