ShareIdeas is "an online community and a wiki for sharing ideas on how to use mobile communications for social and environmental benefits" (via Smart Mobs). Case studies - still quite sparse on the site - cover education, economics, health, civic engagement, etc. A great idea. I wonder how we can create greater synergy around these many notable efforts. I've come across so many wikis, communities, and blogs seeking to tackle similar concerns. Is there a way to bring some of these ideas together? Would it create a greater impact than small-scale individual endeavors? And why do we duplicate what already exists - do we still pursue personal recognition even in our altruism?
