WarandPiece is the first of 8 sites I go to each morning to start my information day.  Today, Laura Rozen links to a new site: Progressive Realist .  It is a metablog that is about American foreign policy.  It explains itself as an edited aggregator that selectively presents posts from a number of blog sources on the subject.

While Laura does an individual aggregation of links on her own "War an Piece" site as well as add comment, Progressive realist is a collaboration of editors to do essentially the same.  Laura recently joined another collaboration of editors at ForeignPolicy.com with her own seat at that table called The Cable.

Self organizing systems and stigmergy are at work in this example of collaboration effort.  It is the manner in which things are increasingly coming together and doing so with increasing speed.

Aggregated collaborative thought as a product of a self organizing system is the manner in which our problems will be solved.  It is the means and process by which change will be accomplish in the new system.
