Global Food Shortage; A Serious Threat? | Healthmad - 0 views
-
With the global population bursting at the seams, the scarcity of rich land to grow food, and more demanding diets, food supplies are diminishing at an alarming rate.
-
The global population, which currently stands at 6.8 billion, is expected to reach 9 billion within the next 40 years. This is a lot of mouths to feed, especially in areas where population growth will be the highest; mainly Africa and India, which are already facing not only food shortages, but severe water shortages as well.

Open Science Project - 2 views

I loved how I went to this URL and the first entry was about molecular simulation. I'm just starting a research project with this. I hope that other people will get excited about the prospect of open science, or even as excited about the research and software as I am :) -
Great link Jackie! I followed your link and really enjoyed reading some of the posts. One that I found particularly interesting is called "What, exactly, is Open Science?" I hadn't really thought about the importance of having research be available and open to everyone, but this article made me think about it and I agree. Thanks again for the link. -
A great website that shows how science is becoming more open. A group of scientists "who want to encourage a collaborative environment in which science can be pursued by anyone who is inspired to discover something new about the natural world."
A VC: Freemium and Freeconomics - 1 views
-
the Internet allows an entrrepreneur to enter a market with a free offering because the costs of doing so are not astronomical. And most entrpreneurs who take this approach will maintain an attractive free offering of their basic service forever. But that doesn't mean that everything they offer will be free. That's the whole point of freemium. Free gets you to a place where you can ask to get paid. But if you don't start with free on the Internet, most companies will never get paid.

Not everything in the world will be free in a "free economy". "Free" is just a ploy to get you into a position where you will want to buy better things to work with.

This seems like an interesting step towards open government, if gentle. I read about the site on someone's blog and decided to check it out. It purports to present problems to the public for them to solve hand in hand with the government.
We Are Visible - SIGN UP SPEAK OUT BE SEEN - helping you connect to the social world - 0 views
-
This site is a diving board for people who are homeless to begin using social media. It advocates the use of social media to give these people a voice in a community that is more apt to ignore them. People don't often listen to people who "look" homeless, but because with social media they can blog/tweet/status update from their hearts and be judged only on the basis of what they say without being preempted by something else, people listen.

Crowdsourcing: A Definition I like to use two definitions for crowdsourcing: The White Paper Version: Crowdsourcing is the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call. The Soundbyte Version: The application of Open Source principles to fields outside of software.
