We socially interact like never before. This is a discontinuity for our species. This moment in history is a tsunami that democratizes the capacity for creating new worlds.

- A Web 2.0 startup with a social Network, www.bligoo.com (link ) of collaborative communities with 160 000 participants
And four companies:
