An alternative to Google

This is very exciting for all you fellow Greenies out there! I just came across this search engine: http://www.ecocho.com.au/
Their motto is "You search. We grow trees." Their carbon credits provider is Global Carbon Exchange who only purchase credits from the official, government controlled New South Wales Greenhouse Gas Abatement Scheme (NSW GGAS, found at: www.greenhousegas.nsw.gov.au) For further information on how they are verified, visit: http://www.ecocho.com.au/verified.php

So next time you find yourself on Google, think eco and use 'Ecocho' instead!

Chisholm Library - Dandenong Campus, originally uploaded by amys_pix.

Here's a pic of Dandenong Campus Library that Derek took earlier this year. I've tagged it in Flickr with 'chislib' - will add a few more soon. Looks like that's 'Thing 15' taken care of!

Technorati

Ok - just tried to 'claim' my blog on Technorati and I'm not receiving a verification email. Guess I shouldn't have used my Chisholm email address! Am currently awaiting a reply from their support team - in the meantime I think I'll move onto the next 'Thing'!

Flock

Via one of my RSS feeds I've recently discovered a great browser called 'Flock'.  Now that we're subscribing to lots of 'things', Flock - 'The Social Web Browser' - is great as it allows you to log into various supported services (like Facebook, Flickr, Blogger and more) and automatically activates the services within its features.  Therefore you can blog, drop photos or link directly to a friend right from your browser.  It was ranked 6th in PC World's 100 Best Products of 2008 (I sound like an advertisement!!)
