Blog Asia Observer and microglobalization
March 26th, 2007The Norwegian media blog Undercurrent uses the development of Asia Observer as an example of socalled microglobalization.
Not only huge corporations, but also tiny one-person outfits, can benefit from globalization, writes journalist and blog expert Olav Anders Øvrebø. He quotes an article he has written for the Norwegian magazine Monday Morning. The story focuses on portals such as getafreelancer.com specializing in matching buyers and sellers of services.
His main example is the development of Asia Observer. While the editor resides in Norway, the programming was done by Rafael Pupovac at Wiatea in Belgrade. The two connected through the freelancer site Joomlancers.
Undercurrent goes on:
“Recently he (Mr. Sandvand, the editor of Asia Observer) expanded the spare-time project further by hiring a part-time employee through the Manila version of Craigslist. So now the site which has a growing community is run and developed by three people living very far apart from each other who have never met physically. That’s microglobalization.”

In this massive world of world wide webs, definitely this web is another grain of sand on the beach. A brick in the wall. A step of a giant leap. A window of knowledge and learning. Each in its own diverse way. We are after all living in a diverse world making into one planet. A good and great start to contribute something for mankind. Good work good intention and good will endures with perseverance for pursuit of happiness and knowledge. How ever small or unimportant or important it may be, each of us are taking part in building a better world. Mankind had the curiosity of researching for better understanding of things, matters and events. Each of us plays a part no matter how small our part is in this vast diverse world which is part of the bigger picture………the entire universe. Thinking is the crucial tool for making things to happen. Dreams do come true.
The entire massive vast universe is made up of small little particles, atoms or protons AND the vast time itself is divided into “neno” seconds and into “atto” seconds so my point is……………thanks and congrats for the contribution this site had done and my sincere good luck, best wishes in the/your endeavor for success.
THE N. way (of thinking) !

The conventional thinking of boundaries and citizenship can be broken down into ‘global village’ and ‘humanity’ or ‘human citizen’. This type of ‘microglobalisation’ in action should be able to give some ‘insight’ into ‘authoritanin regimes’ in Burma and everywhere that clinging on to power at all cost is not the best for them and definitely not for the people who live there.
In ancient times people who wanted to cross all barriers have tried ‘zen’ as a way but nowadays we just need a computer and some imagination. Thanks to Mr Sandvand that some of us have find a way through Asia Observer to keep in touch.

Invitation of Humanity
It is necessary that humanity make its point on the battleground of this bitter struggle of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism.
This problem is driving humanity into a long and dangerous struggle in all forms of life. We are no longer human beings in the 21st century religious bonds and religious relations are our identities. We are symbol of religion by names, Groups, Cultures, rituals and Ideals.
The Satan is playing an important role in exploiting religions in an ugly way by using religious leaders all over the world and all religions. Crimes are committed in the name of religion for the supposed satisfaction of God. It is a tragedy that terrible of faith continues to occur in the 21st century.
Therefore, that concern us and question arise that what position must we devote our lives to bring humanity back in this century. We do not want our children growing up in an environment in which people are alienated, beaten or killed simply because of their religion. Color of their skin or other such reason. As a strong opponent of discrimination in all forms and all over the world human faith has introduced nine affirmation of human faith for humanity and peace.
The Human Faith message of life and spreading the understanding of true Human nature can bring peace and goodness in our life and in the life of those who are seeking truth. It advocates spiritual and moral principles on very high scales for the longest term in human history. It is time to modernize our faith by adopting true faith and educate mankind in accordance with International principle of life and they are nine affirmation of human faith. Human Fealty is based on true human nature and choice.
At this time of age we all should be united by common relations and bonds of Human Faith not with religious rituals.
Therefore, please join us and take oath of humanity and become member of Human Faith.
