Noosphere

Concept

The noosphere can be seen as the "sphere of human thought" being derived from the Greek νους ("nous") meaning "mind" in the style of "atmosphere" and "biosphere".

It is often used in connection with cyberspace and the internet, seen as materializations of it.

Noosphere Collective Intelligence Project: Noosphere.org

"What if software got out of our way so ideas could flow freely? What if using the web was like reading each others minds? So we could think a mile in somebody's shoes. What if my work merged with your work to become ours? I think in pictures, you think in words, they think in numbers, but we all think together. Our knowledge flowing, filtering and improving to serve and enlighten us all. Vision

Noosphere.org is a space on the web for people to curate knowledge collaboratively. It's a workbench for gathering our thoughts, alone or together. It is for ontologizing, collecting data, expressing opinions, surveying, collaborative filtering and decision-making. It's an eco-system in which information of all kinds is subjected to the evolutionary pressure of tightly targeted peer-review -- because we're all scientists of something."
