This is a new category. When I started this blog, I wanted to focus on the incredibly personal aspect of the web (personomies) and how in turn, it will help us create extremelly meaningful and tight communities that will affect the fabric of modern's society, hopefully for the better. I call it communITism: IT powered communism. I know it's a provocative title. But let me clarify something.

Communism has different meanings depending on which side of the atlantic you stand. In the US, it's McCarthy, the cold war, and represents a generally flawed regime that killed thousands. In Europe, and particularly in France, it still represents the idea of solidarity, conveys a sense of togetherness. It might be an utopia but there is, indeniably, a certain attractiveness to it.

Let's say that the promise of a better world for all is far more present in communism than in capitalism. In community than in individual. This is how I understand communism.

The focus on web 2.0 for now is very much on monetizing, commercializing etc...but I believe that web 3.0 (or 2.3 or whatever) will get to a deeper meaning than just that.

We are social beings, political beings, citizens and, i believe, all want (and need) the world to be a better place. IT will help. The previous post was the first one tagged to CommunITism. Hopefully, more will follow. Feel free to weigh in and tell me what CommunITism means to you.
