Hello World,
Like you already have noticed, we're using the BEE (world) as a playful icon for this site.
The Bee-Hive is a very useful metaphor,
standing for a social commonplace of corporative beings.
You can find an article about this idea
in the book
"Computerization and Controversy"
(value conflicts and social choices)
Second edition 1996, edited by Rob Kling by Academic Press,Inc.
Here are a few paragraphs out of Kevin Kelly's article:
The Electronic Hive: Embrace it !.
To encourage this idea, a place has been provided for a lot of Bee-talk,
to post appropriate information (articles, texts, surveys,..)
which can be discussed later on.
