Thinking about the homogenisation of culture - does anyone have examples of sites that bring together different cultures to mix in new and interesting ways?
On the globalisation thing - I suppose the two have come together in the past year with Amnesty International taking on Microsoft, Google and Yahoo as part of their Business & Human Rights campaign:

I suppose the global internet makes it easier for China to jail journalists, but also harder to stop the world from hearing about it, and reacting.
