The U.S. State department is sending a business contingent of internet and Web 2.0 luminaries into Iraq. We're talking Twitter, Google, YouTube, Blue State Digital, WordPress, Meetup, Howcast and AT&T.
The idea is to use the brains of this small collective to give ideas to Iraqi government officials, companies and users that will help it rebuild. Iraq is short on the mojo that widespread internet can bring and the fast-track economic jolt that entrepreneurs feed on. Who knows that stuff better than a contingent of internet goombahs heavy on the Google juice and includes the guy who thought up Twitter?
And toward the end of the trip, the delegation gets to meet with the country's top leadership, including President Talabani.
