New start

Dear all,

I just rewrote the Global Brain article that was recently deleted. This is just a new start, and here is a provisional to do list:

Check the wiki syntax. I'm still not very familiar with it.
Correct the english; I'm not an english native speaker.
I suggested that the main article for the "Organiscism aspect" was superorganism. However I did not edit or tried to make a conceptually coherent synthesis of the two articles.
Maybe it would be nice to add a "Global brain in science fiction" section, with books like Neuromancer, etc...

I have added the stuff on global brain application in management back to this article. It was edited out - I am not sure what is the rationale for editing it out. The concept has had much wider application and innovation management is one important domain where it has had relevance and I think it justifies the placement there. It would be appreciated if whoever is trying to edit this out debates this issue ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.76.149.133 (talk) 11:18, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Another "The Global Brain" book exists.

Sorry, I do no see how to create a disambiguation. Howard Bloom has a popular book of the same title.

Bloom's wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/Howard_Bloom#Books_2
Verification: http://www.worldcat.org/title/global-brain-the-evolution-of-mass-mind-from-the-big-bang-to-the-21st-century/oclc/43207426
Bloom's official website page for the book: http://www.howardbloom.net/Expert%20opinions%20on%20Global%20Brain.htm

Requesting someone create a disambiguation search intercept with pointer to Bloom's entry.
Thanks, Tickerhead (I think).

Notability?

I removed the "notability" tag (for the second time) because a little bit of reading in the article makes it clear that this is not a neologism but a term that has been used by quite a number of authors over quite a number of years. To emphasize this even more I have updated the reference to the "Conceptions of Global Brain: an historical review" (which exists in different versions), and which is clearly an example of "secondary literature" exposing the importance of the term over the years. I have also added a "Recent Development" section to further illustrate the notability of the idea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.184.131.111 (talk) 14:18, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
