IBM Smarter Planet

IBM Smarter Planet - an extension of the IBM Global Business Services initiative on Tumblr (http://smarterplanet.tumblr.com). Our goal is to help people understand how the world's systems -- everything from cities and buildings to the energy grid, transportation networks, the delivery of healthcare and the food supply chain -- are becoming more instrumented, interconnected and intelligent through the application of new business analytics and information technology innovations. Our approach is to curate news, trends, insights and examples of how this phenomenon is unfolding around the world. Let's build a smarter planet together.
