Around the Blogosphere today

From Wired News
Ali Zanjani, Helio's sales and distribution chief, was inspired by the lounges set up by TTL - SK Telecom's phenomenally successful youth brand - as hangouts for its subscribers. Think of them as VIP Internet cafés for mall-weary young initiates, or as the physical manifestation of the TTL brand - a place where members of the tribe can go for live concerts, fashion shows, DVD viewing, gameplay, Internet access, free coffee, and a blower and wipes to clean their phones.

Application: I can see having these lounges at all kinds of education conferences. This is where people can meet, share tips, span the networked and social worlds. Bluejackers, mobbloggers, and early adopters have an area that's designed for them to share.

From Worldchanging
Although there's lots of talk about Linux distributions and the uses of PHP, read between the lines: this is an organization that has clearly learned the value of collaboration, transparent discourse, and open access to historical records.

Collaboration, transparency, and the long tail are the key design elements of a future-centric society?
