At 20 years of age, is the World Wide Web a blessing or a curse? Likely a bit of both. One thing you can't deny: it's one of history's greatest and most consistently beneficial experiments in collaboration.

Especially when it comes to community building and the sharing of ideas. Anyday, anytime, anywhere, you're never less than a few clicks away from lifetimes' worth of information and ideas on courageous leadership and cooperation.

Similarly, InCommons inspires, fosters and celebrates collaboration among Minnesotans as well as individuals worldwide - whether in-person or online. We're always perusing online resources to help kindle the collaborative spirit. Following are but a few; we encourage you to check out, bookmark, learn and explore:

• New York Times' "Fixes" is exclusive online commentary exploring solutions to major social problems, tackling an issue each week.

• If We Ran The World encourages individuals to share ideas to make the world a better place. Enter your idea to discover individuals worldwide with similar ideas or "micro-actions" you can take to create the change you desire.

• Walk Out Walk On encourages like-minded individuals globally to host or take part in collective "Walk Outs," or journeys in nature to share ideas, find solutions and "give birth to new systems that serve community."

• Disposing of preconceived generational categories, Generation Waking Up is an open source collaboration of individuals inspiring and creating opportunities for young people to create a just, sustainable world.

• Social Actions is in many ways a "Google" for collaborative change, with a clean, simple interface that enables visitors to find positive socially-minded actions or share them for others to discover.

• Similarly, Creative Commons Wiki is a "Wikipedia" for creative endeavors and solutions available free and without copyright restrictions.

• While there is no major media outlet devoting its entire content to the collaborative community, Good comes closest, with more than three-fourths of its content devoted to featuring collaborative, solutions-oriented actions.
