Great list Barb. Please take the time to also check out www.greenscroll.org -- launched a few weeks ago in Toronto, we are a non-profit that helps people to Green their Websites (like C02stats, but I believe they are for-profit?). Would be great to see a certificate on Mashable's site.

Feel free to ask us questions, send feedback ... we encourage user input from the green/tech community.

Many thanks,

Re: Why You Need To Shut Up And Start Listening

Hey Nick,

I meant that all the social media advice out there is to listen etc. I say go in and start talking with people! If everyone sits on the sidelines listening and monitoring, who is actually doing the talking?

Have you ever been at a social gathering, circled the room, listening to people's great conversations and then not joined in? It's becoming a bit of a cliche, I think, to advise people just to listen. And by saying that I don't mean jump in immediately with the hard sell, I mean get your feet wet, get in there and chat.

Hope that clarifies my original response!

John.

At least you didn't get a tasty-sounding Vineyard Spam Salad like I did, Mike!

There's a film coming soon too: "Toyotas: Robots In De Skies"

(Yeah, I know. Friday and all that. Nice ad though.)

Awesome! Thanks for popping me a note here, and for the heads-up
that Little Geeks is still alive and kicking butt!

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the initial heads-up for Little Geeks. You may be interested to know we had a very successful media event in Toronto yesterday to spread the word.
