Squidoo
-
This is the website I use to make web-pages about things which interest
me, like cookery, gardening and various things that happen - see my web
pages (which are called lenses) below: |
Squidoo:
Squidoo is the popular publishing platform and
community that makes it easy for you to create "lenses" online. Lenses
are pages, kind of like flyers or signposts or overview articles, that
gather everything you know about your topic of interest--and snap it
all into focus.
It's a supersimple, fun and powerful way to
share your interests, build your online identity and credibility, and
connect with new readers and friends. It's all free, and you could even
earn a royalty for charity or yourself.

Freecycle:
Members
advertise things they are offering to give away or things they want.
The idea is to save things which other people might be able
to use from going into a landfill site, effectively recycling
goods. They
may not ask for payment or anything in return. |
| Using Human Hair to Clean Oil Spills |
Human hair and animal fur can be used to help
clean up the oil and stop its spread. That's right - human hair. Hair collects
oil. That's why you have to wash it. Just as it collects oil from your skin, it also collects oil from an
environmentally threatening oil slick. |

- Avaaz”
means
“Voice” in many Asian,Middle Eastern and Eastern European
languages

Avaaz: "A
new global web movement
with a simple democratic mission: to close the gap between the world we
have, and the world most people everywhere want. Across the world, most
people want - stronger protections for the
environment, greater respect for human rights, and concerted efforts to
end poverty, corruption and war. Yet globalization faces a huge
democratic deficit as international decisions are shaped by political
elites and unaccountable corporations rather than the views and values
of
the world’s people.
"Technology and the internet have allowed citizens
to connect and mobilize like never before. The rise of a new
model of internet-driven, people-powered politics is changing countries
from Australia to the Philippines to the United States. Avaaz
takes this model global, connecting people across borders to bring
people powered politics to international decision-making".

WolframAlpha computational search
engine - Making the World's
Knowledge Computable -
Wolfram|Alpha is the first step in an
ambitious, long-term project to make all systematic knowledge
immediately computable by anyone. Enter your question or calculation
and Wolfram|Alpha uses its built-in algorithms and a growing collection
of data to compute the answer. Based on a new kind of knowledge-based
computing
Listen
to the talk - I was absolutely
flabbergasted by its fiendish cleverness, and I suspect it could lead
to hours of my time spent on pointless searches. |
