Why Poland? They "get" Web 2.0. There are far more Polish articles per capita on Wikipedia than any other language. Poles are Skype's largest and most avid user base. Inventive sites abound for media sharing, social networking, and news aggregation. All this springs from a well-educated, technically savvy society with passion for innovative expression and group contribution. For years Intel, Motorola, Samsung, IBM, Lucent, Nokia and Siemens have designed their core global products in Poland. Now, with Web 2.0, home-grown companies are also raising eyebrows.
