No problem - you win the prize for the first one up this morning, well, apart from me because I've been up and about for 6 hours now.
Here's one last post before I go and get some lunch.
Wor(l)d's full name is Wor(l)d Global Network. The global bit is fairly obvious, but perhaps the network part isn't so.
Some people might think that it means network as in phone network, because the first product was a smart phone and the first service was a type of "pay per click" arrangement with targeted advertising received on those phone.
However this is not the case. The network part comes from the fact that Wor(l)d is neither a phone company nor indeed a solar energy company - it is a network marketing company. As the network expands, any number of different products and services can be introduced to it. From the WDAS website, you can see that they are already moving into wearable technologies and I have even heard talk about electric cars being a distinct possibility.
I have mentioned before that the 37000 or so on the Power Clouds website is not a number of people, it is the number of solar panels. As many people buy more than one panel (myself included) one might think that there are fewer than 37000 people in "the network".
However the reality is that the network consists of over 200,000 people, but many of those people are only thus far involved in the phone part and have not bought panels. There are for example over 40,000 people in Russia but they only have 7,000 panels. There are very many extremely rich Russians but there are even more extremely poor ones who cannot afford the price of even one panel. But as time moves on any one of those 200,000 plus people will be introducing more members to the network and so on and so on. This duplication is what drives the phenomenal growth.
Anyway, I just thought I'd share that with you. Time for lunch.
