Gore on King Terry Gips of Alliance for Sustainability in Minneapolis offers this heads up: Al Gore will be discussing Inconvenient Truth and Global Warming on Larry King Live tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 8 pm. (And Ann Coulter tonight, if you can possibly stand it!) If you haven't seen it (Inconvenient Truth, not Coulter), see it now. It's important. College Republican shenanigans notwithstanding. 9:06:38 PM    comment []  trackback []

MashUp Showcase at Where2.0 Coming to you today from Google's GeoDeveloper Day -- the pre-event to the Where 2.0 conference tomorrow and Wednesday. Stay tuned for details -- unless I get so engroessed I forget to blog -- and most likely for a longer piece soon on WorldChanging. The Google and event focus: looking at the intersection of "search, maps and geolocation." My focus: the intersection of that with sustainability -- and sustainable business -- opportunities. And in particular, the intersection of place information and flow information and both businesses and communities. Larry: "Since you can't be in more than one place at a time, these tecchnologies enable you to act as if you are." Stats: GoogleEarth developers: 30,000 GoogleEarth downloads: 100,000,000 unique individuals News: GoogleEarth 4 released today (Beta), simultaneously Windows/Mac/Linux On to the "mashup and KML showcase"! 1:25:25 PM    comment []  trackback []
