CultureWav.es Mission statement
With CultureWaves, we have perfected a way to understand and translate the behavior that is changing the future. It happens in real time, which means you always get an up-to-date picture of our changing world. Not just facts, but the Human Truth behind what people are doing. That emotional content defines the essence of each Wave and is the heart and soul of the CultureWavesLife View. There are many "collection" software systems; you probably use one or more. Neemee, however, is not one of them. The others work on math (algorithms), and are nothing much more than glorified buckets. When you use Neemee, or when our Farmers use Neemee to harvest Thoughts and behavior forCultureWaves, the Thoughts get collected in a human context. Our unique ontology (the way we create shareable and organized classifications) is built on the life around us as it is being lived. The "Human Truths" we decipher tell us what people are doing and point to the future. So-and here's the big difference between our software and other collection systems-Neemee is CONSTANTLY CHANGING as people change. It is very human and organic in its makeup and application, so any Thought can easily be connected to build relationships with other Thoughts.
