Google Domain Names and Hybrid Cars?; Microsoft Domains: Road Trips & Products of Champions
More Domains For Google: The Recharge Project?
A couple of weeks ago, the team at the Googleplex registered the following domains listed below. In the past day or so, they have been moved to Google name servers. However, at the time we're posting this item, these domains, registered to Google Inc., are not active. Perhaps these domains are related to the $200,000 Google donated to the CalCars project to promote plug-in hybrid vehicle education.
+ rechargeproject.com
Note: Rechargeproject.org is registered to an organization, "developing communities to provide solar recharging systems for portable electronic devices like radios."
+ recharge-project.com
+ rechargenow.org
Rechargenow.com is registered to a Seattle company that devlops workshops for business.
In more Google domain name news...
The other day we pointed out that Skakee.com, registered by Domains by Proxy had been transferred to a Google name server. As of today, it's back to a non-Google name server. Who knows?
Now, to the Microsoft Beat...
New Domains from MSFT:
+ productsofchampions.com, .net, .org
A new slogan for MS or a cross-promote with Wheaties? The "Breakfast of Champions?" :-)
+ windowslivespacesroadtrip.net, .org
Note: WindowsLiveSpaceroadtrip.com takes you to a casting call to take part in a 5 week round trip MS is sponsoring this summer to, "make the earth a better place to live."

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.
A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?
Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.
What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
