Blogging Davos: the World Economic Forum

Link to Blogging Davos: the World Economic Forum

Every year, the World Economic Forum hosts a meeting in Davos, Switzerland: "committed to improving the state of the world". It's a remarkable collection of political and business leaders from around the world ... plus a few bloggers.

There are few other places where Mark Zuckerberg (founder of Facebook) could grab tech blogger Robert Scoble to have breakfast with President Musharraf of Pakistan.

Blogger Jeff Jarvis noted an interesting contrast between two ways of looking at the world:

Gore concentrated on the things we must stop doing ... while the Google team concentrates on what we can start doing, thanks to technology.

It's not just talk; the non-profit google.org is putting money behind making renewable energy cheaper than coal, plug-in electric vehicles and more.

Other reports from Buzzmachine are filed under davos08.

Video and audio of every Davos session is available online. (Hat tip: i-boy)
