More new friends than ever. Especially Facebook frieds. That’s what happened to most of us last year.
Every friend can be important, every comment can be essential. You know that they care when they are interactive.
The truth however is that 90 % of the friends keep quiet. They just are – but do not do anything with you or for you.
Just like you with and for 90 % of your friends.
The new year could maybe bring some new way to develop friendship.
I think about the European union and uniqie union-wide friend teams.
I’ve tried to explain my vision as good as possible on my Personal EU site http://www.personaleu.eu
I’m happy if You can find there something essential for your this year MMX.

Words, pictures or voices don’t mean anything. They just transport meanings.
That’s why seeing or hearing aren’t the same as understanding.
And even that isn’t enough for accepting.
And that’s not everything for trusting.
People should be able to trust eachothers, not just nationally but internationally, globally.
We all are in the same boat named “Friendship” – or at least should be.
Because this is our only place to live – and it doesn’t understand too many human meanings.

What’s the best online visualization describing Your Social Network Traffic? Or is there any?
TouchGraph by Google shows visually all connections to and from Your website. On Facebook You can find a FriendWheel and other applications illustrating all Your friends and all their connections to Your other friends, in one interactive picture.
But what I’ve not found and what I need more than those partial solutions is a map showing as stations all my network destinations – and describing as thinner or thicker piles all traffic (my and other) between those stations (LinkedIn, Facebook, ENoLL, Twitter, Brightkite, Qaiku, Wiziq, Picasa, MySpace, YouTube, WordPress, Blogger, homepage… whatever).
And this map should be clickable to take me straight to any station on the map.
Do I have too big wishes? I don’t think so. Because that service would be the new kind homepage for a big part of internet users – and many feed applications already almost have the package ready as text stream.
So, when You find what I’m missing, please let me know. I promise not to keep it as a secret.

Today it is today. And tomorrow it is tomorrow. And so on.
But why wait that long?
As an European you could right now do something to enlarge yourself to an union-wide person – to one who has an own personal EU Commission with commissioners for all your big challenges.
http://www.personaleu.eu explains the idea, vision, mission… just one essential thing is missing – and you could now spend a quality moment to help it come true:
A PERSONAL EU27 TEAM FINDER is needed to allow everyone in the union find his/her own Personal EU. The nature of that missing tool is described here: http://www.personaleu.eu/Your_role_and_challenge/Idea/TeamFinder/teamfinder.html
If you don’t be the one to create the Finder, you can still help yourself by sending this blog link to your friends who could answer such challenges.
We all are in the same boat – our unique personal lives, too. And our personal future is too short for waiting too long.

This year has teached us how bad our situation globally is – in ecology and in economy.
The good news are that we know more than ever about fixing the problem.
The solution just requires a new life style from all of us, personnally ( in private life and in working life).
Starting from the 1st of January let’s stop doing things wrongly.
Let’s use the right way.
There is no better way to make the world a better place to live for our children and their children.
Happy New Try!

When the world is in trouble, we are too. If we do not do anything to help it, who does?
Today’s problems are bigger than just national. It means that we have to make things internationally. As Europeans we have a good level: the European union.
Now everybody: Let’s start own personal European unions – teams consisting of “someone like me” from up to each EU country. Let’s start millions of such individual union-wide person teams.
To make able to do that, let’s create a “Personal EU27 Team Finder” first. Maybe you are the one who could develop it. Or maybe you just know the potential creator. Don’t be shy now. Speak up!
To understand what kind of “Personal EU” era I’m speaking about, please visit http://www.personaleu.eu and its blogs and groups.

I just added some new nuances to my “Personal EU” group (Facebook).
Until now every country of the European union has had it’s “key” person in the admin list – and so it absolutely will be, too.
What’s new is that I’ll make a similar key person list from the countries bordering the union – our nearest neighbours.
But that’s not enough: this planet is getting smaller every day and we need collaboration and “glocal” views from every country in the world. The Personal EU group meets this challenge by inviting globally friends from every country to “glocal keys” in Personal EU collaboration.
Ofcourse the Personal EU group is just a piloting thinking model for millions of unique Personal EU teams – each of them consisting of 17-27 individuals from different EU countries, 5-15 bordering countries and up to 150 other countries.
So, if any this is meant to be a very global open social team of teams. In my Personal EU Blogspot blog I just wrote a letter to Google – to make them see the Personal EU platform as an essential part of their coming “Open Social” world. I suggested that they should start an user-centric development unit in Finland for that, because…
“Sapienti sat” now.
If You are someone I mentioned above, please join the Personal EU group and be interactive there. Or tell Your personal wishes to Personal EU right here.

This is a very big question. But You, I and we all in Europe have an even bigger tool for successfully answering the challenge: our personal brains.
We all live our life on personal level and that’s the only way we can do it. Those of us who are EU citizens can do it in that role. And all of us can do it as citizens of our home countries.
So – let’s use our heads and discuss. About what hole? With whom?
If You see a hole in the union then there must be one. And about discussion my suggestion is: together with someone from every EU country, together with someone from the missing countries, too. It’s easier than ever with our various free collaborative network tools: Virtual tourist, LinkedIn, Skype, Messenger, Habbo, Google Talk, Facebook… If You use some of those and want to know more what I’m speaking about, just find me there and ask.
If You use Facebook, please welcome to the group Personal EU to understand and participate. And in any case visit the site http://www.personaleu.eu to find a surprising and hopefully inspiring cross-European initiative.
As a matter of fact the union is (or isn’t) inside our heads. Maybe the hole is there, too.

Today the European union is almost 500 000 000 individuals from 27 member states. The next years will bring more.
What EU is is not just something between it’smember states. On personal level it should mean even more
– because we all can live our lifes only on personal level – no one can do it instead of us
– because countries and unions can not succeed without people doing the job and turning problems into victories
I mean that the secter of a successful union is how motivated and equipped the citizens are to innovate and collaborate on union level. There should not be unnecessary hierarchies between the compatible team members from different countries – and even the invisible historical attitude borders should be forgotten.
I strongly believe that I’ve found the solution, the missing dimension. I’ve worked many years developing it. The site www.personaleu.eu describes widely what it is all about.
Here I just want to draw your attention to one thing in the Personal EU concept: it’s role in the daily life! I do not mean just a few days but a 24/7/12/ continuity. Connecting private and work sectors on union level.
Today there are not such networks – just networks with too little features or networks with too much features. And non of them can find to you the personal union-wide dimension.
I’d like to know your comments and tips to this. Your turn, please.

You know who You are so I don’t try to explain it to You.
PPPP however needs a few words. No, it’s not four parking places – or actually that’s exactly what it is.
The seed of PPPP is PP: Public-Private or Private-Public. It’s a form of collaboration where the government sector and market sector together set challenges and reach goals. In more and more cases it works well but is still missing something from its both ends: the politics and the persons who finally pay and use the result.
PPPP (Politic. Public. Private. Person.) is an enlargement of Public-Private or Private-Public. It brings the entire value chain to collaboration from the first moment – just like runners to a start line towards a common final.
And how about You as a PPPP key!?
As a matter of fact You have all those PPPP roles inbuilt in Yourself, so You are at least the right person to participate in PPPP collaboration. Let’s look at Your PPPP roles closer and just take some examples:
– Your P1 role: chooser in political elections (and just not on national level)
– Your P2 role: sponsor in public life as a tax payer
– Your P3 role: unique combination of professional/cultural/local expertise and resources
– Your P4 role: unique unit of human life – no one else is able to live Your life and reach Your personal challenges
Why speak about EU PPPP? Simply because You (and almost 500 million other individuals) not just are citizens of their EU countries but citizens of the entire EU, too. And because already 50% of our laws come from that common level. Not to forget Schengen, Treaty, Lisbon strategy, Living Labs, environment, aging of everyone or € either.
You can start Your EU keynote speech in front of the mirror by letting Your PPPP roles, one by one, bring unique essential views to the subject (whatever it is).
And when You’ve practised with Yourself, You’re ready to do the same in any local, regional, “EUnal” or global negotiation or conference.
Just ensure together with others that everyone plays using those same rules/roles. If someone wants to leave some of his/her pleasant “P” duties unused, he/she should accept removing it from all his/her rights, too. Simple and stupid but logical.
Welcome to Your PPPP era – and innovative European interactivity!

and almost 500 million individuals in the European union
Yesterday i wrote about the planned Personal EU conference panel in Slovenia. Today I received an email from there – and it makes me think the whole thing over:
“Dear Kurt,
In the Call (http://BledConference.org/Call_for_Panels_and_Workshops) it is described how a panel is put together and run. The panel chair, or co-chairs (sometimes we have co-chairs) is the driving force. No special invitation are practised.
Since the panellists are expected to register for the conference, they may plan to attend several components of the program and exploit lunches and dinners for interactions. It is expected that some arrangement are made during the conference (joint activities, projects).
Regarding the day of a panel, it is hard to make individual arrangement at this point in time. We will be receiving papers and panel proposals in next few weeks. We could take a note that Tuesday, June 17 would be preferable to you. However, would you expect that some individuals would be able to register for the conference and travel a certain distance just for one day?
You may like to suggest the panellists to engage in the conference (2-3 days) and enjoy the Bled environment.
Best regards, Joze ”
I’m not sure at all that my key persons have 3 days “for a panel”. I think that even my interest is to participate the panel session and then spend the rest of my 3 days vacation in Slovenia with my dear Leena.
OK, today I’ll explain the situation to those who already received my invitation.
Then I concentrate in the proposal to the committee and hope the best. Maybe my experts or even better experts will registrate to the conference – and we will get a great Personal EU panel in June.
Everything has been fine this year, especially for network people. Maybe too fine, because we now have so many excellent channels and so many network friends that we don’t know what to do with them.
What I’d like to do with all my friends?
I’d like to give everyone his/her own very essential lifelong network for daily challenges.
For my European friends I even know the name of the thing: Personal EU!
I think just now is a very good moment to visit http://www.personaleu.eu and see its message as a seed for a new era.
On practical level Personal EU should very quickly get a “Personal EU27 Team Finder” to be able to show its completing power to the entire union. Are You the one who can and will create this Finder. After it everyone him/herself can feel what it is to have an OWN private union.
Happy everything to You All!

You know the usual way to establish companies and run business – and if You are from Europe, You are an expert in comparing it to another way.
I call it the Personal EU way.
1) Take Yourself
2) Choose 26 persons with as identic challenge profiles as possible: one from each EU country
3) Start interacting about essential things on private and business level
4) Realize that You are an union-wide organi(c)zation
5) Sharpen Your business idea and organization
6) Run it
There could be millions of such Personal EU businesses and almost-businesses if…
If what? What’s missing?
The Personal EU27 Team Finder is still missing – and developing it can not be an insuperable barrier.
If I should be Mr. José Manuel Barroso I’d tell to my commission in the next meeting, that I want their internet gurus to develop such a small application and show it to us in the next meeting.
After that I’d start a commission-wide PPPP (Politic-Public-Private-Person) operation to make every Organization, project and citizen know this tool and that it is free to use and open for financers and supporters.
Very unusual, isn’t it?
When do we start, Mr. Barroso?

Yes, we celebrate it just now today in Finland. You celebrate Your independency day on some other day of the year. But what is Your independency really, when we all in the European union are citizens of the union, when 50% of our laws come from union level and when most of us even don’t have own money unit any more.
Let’s think about our independency in a new personal way: how could we personally be more independent and still excellent citizens?
Welcome to the site www.personaleu.eu to see a good answer, the best one if You ask from me.
If You like the Personal EU idea, welcome to the group Personal EU in Facebook – an be interactive there. That’s the way.
Happy independency day!

Collaboration at its best is fighting: fighting FOR something, not against something.
What does it mean:
If You like to do things together, You collaborate. If You wouldn’t, then You don’t.
In “no collaboration” case the way is to do alone and keep quiet. Maybe others just happen to find Your good work and make a success of it. Then You maybe like to think over Your attitude to collaboration.
In collaborating for something the fight should be interactive and flexible. Without interactivity there is no collaboration and without flexibility there is no progress. In my mind flexibility is ability to be so much interested in the collaborator’s ideas that the common contact surfaces appear – and that’s the base for common succces.
Collaboration is always problematic. And that’s nice, because a problem is a golden opportunity to solve a problem.
Let’s collaborate!

People who use Facebook seem to understand my Personal EU concept and idea easier than those using more traditional interactivity tools.
Having a big amount of friends online and doing different kind of things with them at once can be understood after seeing how that “organized chaos” works.
All of Your friends have not met You face-b discussing with themy-face personnally, but so it was earlier, too. I’ve met many of my friends after communicating with them in years by email and in discussion groups.
There is 2 clear differences between Facebook friendship and a Personal EU team:
– In Facebook You collect (or are supposed to collect) old friends. In Your Personal EU You complete Your friendship with new friends to an EU27 team
– In Facebook Your friends have very different hobbies, developments, works, businesses, challenges, and You find that difference better and better when interacting with them. Because the idea of Personal EU is to find “someone like You” from up to each EU country, the personal profiles of the team members are not so far from eachothers.
These differences mean that in Facebook it’s very hard to concentrate in something that really is meaningful and essential for You. In Your Personal EU the personal challenges are more same – and everybody wants to see the team as “my personal union”. This is good not only for the members but for the EU government and potential commercial collaboration in larger scale.
Now when we have Facebook and when it’s very popular it should be not too hard to develop its “missing applications” – from Personal EU’s points of view. The most essential of them is a “Personal EU Finder”, finding this “someone like You” from as many EU countries as possible. Before accepting them to friends You could and should run some discussion rounds to be sure that there really is synergy enough. And when the team is there, it’s so easy to go on from everyone’s own essentials.
If You have not visited the Personal EU homepage before, now it the right moment. I’m sure that You find it interesting and I hope that You have patient to spend enough time there.
The next step towards a Personal EU era could now be to create the “Personal EU Finder” and launch it in the Facebook application gallery. I am not able to do the scripting but I could be a really good team member for the right one. So, if it’s You, let’s do it together.

I’m just one of almost 500 000 000 EU citizens but still I think that most of us could have same kind of wishes as I.
I wish that our union would understand that the only level to live is personal.
I wish that that would lead to a honest citizen-centric (I didn’t say citizen-driven) European future plan.
I wish that we all valuate eachothers and the richness of our cultures.
I wish that we all could have a personal team consisting of “someone like me” from as many EU countries asa possible.
I wish that You would visit my site http://www.personaleu.eu and find there something new and exciting for yourself personnally. After that I wish that You’d tell Your feedback to me.

Yes, I think it works now. Great to bring them together. If just LinkedIn would be here in the same package!

Politic. Public. Private. Person. Four very essential levels, all of them living and thinking inside their boxes. Setting challenges to eachothers. But are they really collaborating?
Our network era gives nice opportunities to new kind of collaboration where all parts would start at the same time from the same starting point and build from scratch something new, better and essential for themselves – for all of them.
The constitution gap in the European union gives just now such a chance. Especially if the last P – personal level of almost 500 000 000 union citizens should have a REAL opportunity to be on the same start line. The life itself happens in any case on that personal level – and a enthusiastic citizenship is the best way to make things happen successfully – to make things happen at all.
Please make a nice trip to a better European union – now: www.personaleu.eu
There are 100 illustrated pages to see and one big idea to realize.
If You happen to belong to those two first P’s and have the right to open new essential discussions, please be brave now.
The next coming EU Presidencies are excellent places to launch the completing “missing organization level” and challenge us all to build a “Personal EU era”. And if You happen to be chair member in any network of the European Network of Living Labs, You could make the entire system to understand how Personal EU teams would answer all ENoLL challenges in a delightful way.
Happppy collaboration!

“Life. A fanny thing that happened to me on the way to the grave.”
(I don’t remember who)
Your life is an unbelievable collection of events.Some of them a planned by you in some of your roles, some of them are planned by someone else, some of them just are on your way. Some of your events are open and free, some need a key: ticket, papers, authorizing, permission, passport, money.Instead of just live the event you mostly first have to get the key. Not just once but over and over again. Why should it be so complicated? In the information society all services can get the keys to know what we need or want – to decide how to bring it to us.The question is just when we meet the service and how much we use it. “When” is something between now and never and “How much” is something between nothing and everything. Everything that can be digitized will be digitized, they say. That means services for your and my life events, too.
And when something happens to us, it usually means “now” for many other events – this chain reaction in offering services more and more happens automatically.
This is a very raugh list prototype but tells the idea.
Within X? days
1? Wake up: Choices? Price? Offer pack?
1? Breakfast: Choices? Price? Offer pack?
1? Go to work: Choices? Price? Offer pack?
1? Calls: Choices? Price? Offer pack?
1? Forget something: Choices? Price? Offer pack?
X? Moon race: Choices? Price? Offer pack?
30? Holiday: Choices? Price? Offer pack?
1? Go to sleep: Choices? Price? Offer pack?
8000? Pension: Choices? Price? Offer pack?
15000? The End: Choices? Price? Offer pack?
How could your complete list look like? Your private and work bookkeeping tells much about your past.But how about your future. The tax bureau database and your credit card system already could make a good guess. And so the even do when planning their own future strategies. To make everything easier let’s stop asking What and Why.Let’s start asking When and How much.

Yesterday TietoEnator arranged for 150 decision makers a “Let’s build together a digital future” business seminar in Helsinki.
Top speakers and their presentations showed a covering range of big visions, missions and strategies – and promising current phases.
The most essential person in the seminar was Mr. Same Guy (could be Mrs or Ms Same Guy or just YOU, too). In every presentation that person was in the center: Instead of building services for private persons, home owners, consumers, hobbyists, travellers, employees, bosses, companies… we should concentrate in getting 24/7/365 lifelong services for individuals, because they (we all) have many roles more and more connected to eachothers. Seeing how this total unit behaves helps all kinds of services see next service situations to make everything very easy for all parts.
In my Personal EU platform every citizen of thew European union has her/his own European union consisting of “Someone like me” from each EU country. These union-wide “Personal planets” are the same thing as Same Guy – they just are up to 27 times bigger and self-organized to be ready for union-wide “Same Guy services”.
You as a European member of your personal private, hobby, development, project and work/business circles should take a good look at “Same Guy” and “Personal EU”.
And if I may suggest, you should help all your organizations make the Personal EU era come true.
How about that?
Successful cooperation!
The 50th Anniversary of the Treaties of Rome and the present EU Constitution problems seem to wake up the lion in the German Chancellor and EU President Angela Merkel. I guess that in her mind this particular presidency is the right moment for challenging the union to take the next historical step – and she herself is just the person to make it happen.
This moment is much better than some other moment during 51st, 52nd… year.
So – what’s wrong with the constitution and what should be done to it? I think nothing is wrong, except the point of view. The constitution is written for “a person named European union”, not for 500 million people named “You and Me”. Fanny how different wights paragraphs get depending on the center point. Still the number one fact is that an individual, a person, a citizen is the base unit of human life, and the European union just an organization of organizations allowed by her/him.
This is what I suggest right now for Angela Merkel and her cabinet and collegues:
1) Open the homepage personaleu.eu and be familiar with “the citizen on union level”
2) Chrystallize the present suggested constitution using that point of view. Did it become more acceptable?
Happy next 50 years and a successful cooperation!

One of the challenges of the network era is the interactivity of networks. Welcome to my LinkedIn network and find there more than 600 individuals who have wanted and/or accepted to belong to my professional network. The nature of the network is openness – when you are a member of the free LinkedIn network then you can see there all my friends. Many of then belong to your network, too – and knowing that gives new tips for operations.When you like to make a suggestion to someone in my network, please do it.

Dear London, Paris, Berlin, Brussels, Madrid, Rome, Luxembourg, Warsaw, Lisbon, Athens, Ljubljana, Vilnius, Dublin, Valletta, Riga, Prague, Nicosia, Budapest, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Tallinn, Vienna, Bratislava, Stockholm and Helsinki,
As a capital of the European union you could easily help the entire union and its 400 million citizens to find a totally new competition dimension by developing one of your city squares to be a Personal EU Meetpoint.
Personal EU? Yes. A citizen of your country is a citizen of the European union, too. This means not just rights and duties but also new kind of personal union-wide challenges. The future Europe is more and more an information society where everybody him/herself can and will do things internationally – and still be proud of his/her own nationality. Personal EU is a concept, where every citizen collects a team from similar individuals representing up to all EU countries: union-wide, life-long and challenge-high personal interaction for everyone in the EU!
Ofcourse we need quickly a good European internet portal for finding and managing our Personal unions. And You – dear EU Capital – can easily give essential mental and financial support to launch it, too.
But today You can make something as important for speeding the process “manually” – and You need only 25 street stones to do it! People from different EU countries will quickly understand the character of Your Personal EU Meetpoint square and on daily level interactivate themselves to find new friends from all EU.
One of these 25 pictures describes technically the idea of Your Personal EU Meetpoint. I’m sure You will find a much better square for this challenging future – my capital tour is made just to warm up quick choosing processes and brilliant decisions.
As a Finn I hope that Finlands EU Presidency will stimulate our capital, Helsinki, to be an innovative example for all other EU capitals. A decision is not published – so Your City has still the golden opportunity to be Number One.
Successful Cooperation!
