From discussions of Iran’s “Twitter Revolution” to praise for Google’s decision to stop its censorship in China, the Internet is often heralded as a vital tool for democracy.

Every summer, on the first weekend in August, thousands of twins converge on Twinsburg, Ohio, a small town southeast of Cleveland named by identical twin brothers nearly two centuries ago.
They come, two by two, for the Twins Days Festival, a three-day marathon of picnics, talent shows, and look-alike contests that has grown into one of the world's largest gatherings of twins.

Geneva – July 21, 2011 It took years to decide, but last night in Geneva 164 CEO’s of the top fortune 500 companies, many country leaders from all continents, all CEO’s of the top 200 largest aid organisations, as well as US president Barack Obama, agreed on a plan to end poverty on a global scale by working together as one community, while agreeing on one roadmap with an accompanying set of behaviors.
The roadmap involves a clear guide for (profit and non-profit) organisations, institutions, and governments to end poverty by 2020. Although participation is voluntary, it is said that this initiative will become the next global standard for governments and businesses’ social responsibility. The idea is simple: all existing aid workers, students, and volunteers in the world unite through the Internet in one open software program, where communities can be established for every sub-initiative to end poverty by 2020.
