in Ledger Live and the exploding newsroom on Mathew's comments
Kinda reminds me of a more-serious Rocketboom.
Interesting concept. And I agree, well executed. I think it does a great job of teasing up the day's news -- which would make me keep checking back for more updates and full write-throughs of those stories.
And, I like the casual style as well as the inside access to the newsroom perspective.
I wonder if it'll catch on elsewhere, and -- just as important -- if they'll be able to find a sponsor for it.

in Maybe Nortel is On to Something on All About Nortel
Further proof of the relevance: According to a 2007 Gartner report, the global information and communications technology industry accounts for approximately 2 percent of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, a figure equivalent to the aviation industry.

drummermanrick This figure sounds absurd, particularly when all of mankind only contributes about 3% of CO2 to the atmosphere.

CO2 is insignificant to global warming and does not cause GW.
puddintane If Nortel allowed its employees to telecommute (using Nortel EQ, natch) they would lower CO2 emissions of auotmobiles. But raise telco emissions. But use less electricity than, say, them IBM folk. Oh, wait, theres some partnership going on with them, so lets stick with wasteful Cisco. The USA of the global information and communications technology industry. Born and raised in USA. Figures.

Man, that site is great. I just watched a vid from Jerusalem, where I'll be visiting in a month. I hope the host's recommendation for the best falafel in all of Jerusalem is true...I'll be testing it out myself. Thanks for the pass along, Matt.
