I just got the email from my man Joost (GSB ’06) to announce the launch of his company’s new site GlobalMotion.com. It sounds like a really good concept and, best of all, it will be driven by inputs of the general public, including all of you. Please take a look at his message and see if there is any content that you can add to the site. Thanks.

I hope everyone is doing well.
I wanted to let you know that my company has just launched a new
site, www.globalmotion.com. Please take a look. I also wanted to ask
for some help (see below).
First a quick intro: GlobalMotion is a wiki platform that is designed
to make it very easy to create descriptions of places, using a

the world’s interesting locations. Possible places at GlobalMotion
include (but are not limited too): landmarks, buildings, stadiums,
cool travel spots, restaurants, and many more. Once we reach critical

I wanted to specifically reach out to the GSB crowd, because many of
you live, work and travel all over the world. Please help
GlobalMotion gain critical mass quickly.

2 Add a new place. Think of any interesting place you know anywhere
in the world, for example a famous landmark in your hometown, the
stadium of your favorite team, a cool travel spot, your favorite
beach, a great golf course, the office building where you work, a
park in your neighborhood, or any other interesting location. Adding
a new place will take only a couple of minutes, and I promise that
you’ll find it surprisingly fun and easy.
3 Forward this message to your friends, and ask them to do the same.
Our beta tests have shown that GlobalMotion has a broad appeal, so
feel free to forward it to anyone.
Thanks very much, and I look forward catching up with everyone soon.
Best,
Joost”
