Thank you Juan! I checked out the flickr group, amazing pictures!
That is correctly the idea I had behind the website, I believe in the power of photography. Thanks for adding us to your blogroll

Manuel: I guess they mean those are potential users. Then again, you and I have seen how hot SMS is in our countries. This leads me to believe that the simple nature of this feature will speed adoption across less techno-savvy users.

Shaykhspeara: you will notice that there is a little flickr widget on my sidebar. It is there because I’m convinced that images can convey the idea of a Global Culture more easily than the word, but I didn’t have the skills, so I picked an existing group and featured their photos. After looking at your blog, I may have found a new ally in the quest for defining our Global Culture. Welcome!

I love the concept of your blog. I nearly started a photo blog under the same name but changed it to Global Themes. http://www.globalthemes.blogspot.com

“the number of worldwide mobile subscribers will surpass 2.5 billion this year and reach almost 4 billion by 2011″.
42% of the 6 billion people using SMS? I seriously doubt it, even without looking at the stats of cell phone use, I can’t see 4 out of 10 person, in the entire globe, using SMS, considering how many people lives in India, China, Africa, Middle East, and LA without a cellphone. The report talks about “enabled handsets in operation”, so I guess either they miscalculate or there are a lot of people with two or more mobiles, PDA or blackberries.
