Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Diigo V3 is a Social Media Winner

It is refreshing to see another fan of this often overlooked Social Bookmarking Tool. I've been using Diigo since its earliest version and it is beginning to hit full stride with auto suggesting tags, public or private, Twitter feed check and a tremendous amount of flexibility.

O'Reilly -- What Is Web 2.0

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 09:15:20 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

The concept of "Web 2.0" began with a conference brainstorming session between O'Reilly and MediaLive International. Dale Dougherty, web pioneer and O'Reilly VP, noted that far from having "crashed", the web was more important than ever, with exciting new applications and sites popping up with surprising regularity. What's more, the companies that had survived the collapse seemed to have some things in common. Could it be that the dot-com collapse marked some kind of turning point for the web, such that a call to action such as "Web 2.0" might make sense? We agreed that it did, and so the Web 2.0 Conference was born.

Move Over, Oil, There’s Money in Texas Wind - New York Times

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 08:47:44 -0000

Comments:

Gov't should definitely be spending lots of efforts & investments into green energy! The right thing to do! posted by irisdd

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Texas has reached the point that more than 3 percent of its electricity, enough to supply power to one million homes, comes from wind turbines

This is a somewhat surprising number. But definitely in the right direction. State should devote more resources & set some yearly target to have it present a much bigger percentage of the overall energy supply! posted by irisdd
