Welcome to Global Options

"The only real luxury is the luxury of
human communication."

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

When I met with Thomas Power (Chairman of Ecademy) on the 16th of August 2005, we had a remarkable conversation about the rise of global networking movement.

Thomas supported my idea to create a directory of networks, simply to map the landscape of global networking organisations.

Your contributions are welcome! Please spread the word and help me to keep this list always up-to-date. Feel free to reprint, repost and remail at will. Please circulate and give credits.
