FutureMonitor is a new platform for discussing the future. Chris Meyer and his colleagues at Monitor Networks and the Financial Times have designed a compelling new site that aims to capture insight about the near-term future. By near-term future, they mean trends that will matter most to business in the next two years. The team is very ambitious; they want the collaboration to be... "the primary source of insight into the future, generated through on line conversations with people who are shaping the future every day".
So far, a small number of users are contributing to the site and posting on a small number of example topics that have business implications. As the site opens up to more discussion and a wider variety of views, it will become much more interesting. Right now, I am participating in a conversation on who owns the content that one posts on collaborative web sites like Flickr or del.icio.us.
