A little graphic but very powerful.
“We wanted to confront people with the impact that short-haul flights have on the climate. We used Polar Bears because they’re a well understood symbol of the effect that climate change is having on the natural world.”
Jetzt müsste es auch nur noch mehr Geo-Tweets geben.
Echt nett gemacht. Werde morgen mal per Geo-Tweets-Feature ein paar lokale Twitter-User verfolgen ;)

I think this should be version 1.0 - very impressed by the extensive number of updates to TweetDeck. Delicious New Features: LinkedIn
Super useful. Who really spends much time on the LinkedIn site? Certainly not me - but now I have a column for it - Im sure I'll stay better connected with my business contacts.
Lists
List support - which is great. But one feature is especially useful to people with TweetDeck groups (ie me - I make/made heavy use of them due to following a lot of people). You can convert a TweetDeck group to a Twitter List now!
Retweets
You have the choice of the new API retweets - or old style. Very flexible - nice.
Interface
Bit quicker, bit nicer looking - slicker.
Bit.ly Account Integration
URL's shortened in TweetDeck can now link to your Bit.ly account (which I think is a new feature?). This means you can track your Bit.ly URL clicks - without having to go to the Bit.ly site. Nice time saver.
GeoTagging
Although the Air & iPhone apps dont yet GeoTag tweets themselves - any tweets using the Geo Tagging API will let you open a map to view details. Im looking forward to seeing the Twitter & Facebook Geo stuff mature - FourSquare - watch out.

I'm always accused that i give some of my best ideas away for free. i know i do but hey, i could fall over and die tomorrow and then my not sharing would be like a bedroom dj with the best mix in the world but nobody gets to hear it. While putting together audiogravity for the 29th of October (yes i know i'm mega behind - catching up today/tomorrow) i had a link for a twitter user lv who is a designer at twitter. Apart from his lightweight personal website i noticed this icon/branding on his account top right. I've seen it before, the translators are doing different language versions of twitter.
But it got me thinking. Surely, the way forward for twitter to make money (this staying alive) is to build a system so that people who use twitter can do micro versions of what sites like ebay, linkedin already do and mash them together with similar things like foursquare, dopplr do - i'm talking about a geo located bunch of products and services to allow me as a verified, social grid authentic user to be able to put together actions. below are some of the actions i suggest could work really well. barter/trade/swapI want to be able to aggregate all of my geo-locational stuff to one Google Map. If I geo tag photos in Flickr, bookmarks in Delicious, add a calendar entry in Google Calendar or tweets from my phone I should be able to see them all on one map. I might even have Google Docs tagged with geo-locational information that might be pertinent to somewhere. I guess I am going to have to try Yahoo Pipes to acheive this... Or will Google Wave be up to the task?
Rob sent me an invite for Wave and I have duly started looking at the features it has to offer. Unfortunately not all of those features mentioned in the videos that accompany it are available to try yet. For instance the robots that can draw your tweets into Wave or send your completed Waves to Blogger. Hopefully a Posterous equivalent of that will appear too? I'm hoping/assuming Wave will tuen out to be some sort of hybrid of Twitter, Office Communicator/Windows Messenger and GMail but with the addition of features that have been available in iGoogle, such as widgets for RSS Feeds, embedding Maps, Calendars and Google Docs. What we get depends whether they're aiming it to a more Corporate tool or have more Creative uses? It certainly looks to be a Collaborative tool alright but it all depends on what you can eventually feed into it. Given the amount of information it is now possible to keep up to date with via Twitter the poor old RSS feed needs a new sense of purpose and feeding into various mashed-up apps has to be it. I think I need to wait until more options are available within Wave before judging it but I'll keep tinkering with it. In the meantime I need to take the plunge and start looking at the API's to these things. But first I need to get a few other things sorted. Firstly, I'm not over convinced that the GPS feature within Twidroid on my G1 is actually adding any geo-information to my tweets yet any way! But the fact that it takes ages to get a location in Brightkite and Latitude as well suggest that that maybe living in a city for you! The G1 camera is too poor for any practical use as well so I don't use that for geo-tagged photos and therefore still need to add geo-locational info manually to any shots I take with my 400D or Cybershot. I haven't even looked at adding geo-location details to Delicious bookmarks although I know it's possible. It's obviously possible to feed Google Calendar entries into Google Maps too as this GoogleSystem Blog demonstrates. I like geo-locational stuff. I like it as a way of merging our analogue and digital lives, as a step towards an Augmented Reality. I like Layar. But I have issues with waving my phone around, to lock onto locational information, inviting any unscrupulous passer-by to swipe it off of me. I don't necessarily want to advertise my position in real-time as Google Latitude or Brightkite does but they could have their uses if fed the right information. For instance If I tag restaurants, places of interest or shops that I find online, in a particular area that I think I might be visiting in the future, in Delicious; and events that are going to take me to that area are in my Google Calendar then when the GPS on my phone detects that I am in that area my Google Map [or Latitude] should be able to remind me to check these places out. I can then Tweet comments on these places and see them appear beside the original entries. And tweets mentioning the shop/restaurant/etc concerned can be fed into a Twitter List that I can see fed in situ on the Map. This is the sort of thing that I believe Brightkite was created for but it has limited users and seems to me to be more of a photoblogging site now. It certainly appears to have become more people rather than place orientated and there are more than enough Social Networking sites for that sort of behaviour! Still maybe the fabled GPhone will appear one day and answer all these wishes? Or is the Google Chrome OS going to end up on a netbook instead? In the meantime I better make sure I have some API/Mash-Up books on my Amazon Wishlist. Before long I hope to be able to produce music/artwork with locational properties, but more about that in a later post. Zemanta refuses to work in GMail today so there may not be the amount of links here that I'd hoped as I had to add them all manually.海參崴

[隱藏][編輯] 名稱
海參崴名字的由來有多種說法[來源請求]，一說是由於當地曾經是盛產海參的地區，而「崴」是指窪地的意思，而其他兩種說法都指此名來自於原住民語言，一說是「海邊的曬網場」，另一說為「海邊漁村」。由於歷史記錄的短缺與優勢族群的更替，其確切來源已經不可考，但是海參崴這個名稱至今仍被中文使用者熟知。
在臺灣，海參崴[1]是正式名稱，但新版（近幾年）教課書已開始使用「符拉迪沃斯托克」；而在中國大陸，書籍種多將這個城市的名稱音譯為符拉迪沃斯托克[2]，但是在日常交流中，「海參崴」仍然十分常用。
[編輯] 歷史
1910年代的海參崴歷史上海參崴曾自唐、遼、金起，這裡已漸見人民活動。元時稱為永明城。清時該地被劃為吉林將軍的領地內。
自17世紀中期，沙俄帝國伺機東侵，尋求在遠東地區開拓不凍港口。沙俄和清朝曾有著多次領土上的糾紛。雖然在清康熙年間清朝和沙俄簽訂的《尼布楚條約》中明確訂明海參崴屬清朝，但是，清朝中葉國勢日衰，鴉片戰爭後，在1858年清政府和沙俄簽訂不平等的《璦琿條約》，規定包括海參崴的烏蘇里江以東地區為中俄共管。2年後，在第二次鴉片戰爭中，俄國又與清政府簽訂了不平等的《中俄北京條約》，清政府割讓了烏蘇里江以東包括庫頁島在內的約40萬平方千米的領土，其中包括海參崴。
隨後其成為沙俄在遠東地區的一個重要的軍事基地，不過由於距離俄國本部太遠，所以該地的發展緩慢。在1891年西伯利亞鐵路開通至此，亦開始有海運路線由其往返日本神戶、長崎及中國上海等地。
1904年至1905年間日俄戰爭中，其曾被日本海軍派遣的分遣艦隊突襲。幸有俄軍巡洋艦隊堅守，使日本海軍轉移目標攻擊遼東半島和大連。
1917年俄國十月革命後，由於蘇聯國內戰爭的混亂情況，反對共產黨的勢力在此和俄國遠東地區滲入。當中包括一些外來勢力如英國、美國和日本，日英聯軍在1918年4月藉口當地有日資設施被襲，進駐金角灣和此城，1920年遠東濱海地區建立「遠東共和國」，持續至1922年由蘇聯收復。
1930年代開始，此城成為蘇聯流放政治犯的主要地點，而在第二次世界大戰前後，先後囚禁在這裡的包括蘇聯和日本的戰俘。
1954年蘇共第一書記赫魯雪夫曾到臨該城，並表示其可以跟美國的舊金山相比，亦奠定了其作為蘇聯遠東地區最重點的發展城市之地位。
