Update [ 0247 22 Feb 2010 ] : OHHDL/Kuger Yigtsang launches @dalailama [verified by @ev] : The IWMP is engaged in investigative research, in partnership with the Dalail Lama’s Private Office, so we subscribed to their Twitter Feed. Twitter, in our opinion, is a “Killer App” for the Dalai Lama’s Office. In Gaza 2.0 :: The information landscape of war we saw all sides adopting web 2.0 social media tools, like Twitter – the Israeli’s even held a press conference via Twitter. If you’re interested in the OHHDL (The Dalai Lama’s Private Office) small step into cyberspace, you could, perhaps envision Der Derian’s concept of Infopeace:
It draws on a long tradition of peace-thinking, exemplified in early Christian pacifism and Eastern philosophies, in which the need for peace begins internally and proceeds outwardly. It starts by embracing a wholeness of the individual, and expands to families, communities, countries, and beyond. The notion of Gaia, as a self-regulating biosphere, contributes to the rhetoric of peace thinking; but it is the networked reality of an expanding infosphere which makes peace an attainable and evermore vital necessity . . .
