Op-Ed Contributor - What's the Point of Daylight Time? - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    Looks likely that president elect Obama will support elimination of Daylight savings time in the US. This op-ed piece in the New York times talks about how DST does not link to energy conservation as once thought. The one thing it WOULD make easier is global collaboration - Google Cal doesn't convert to dST until AFTER it happens and we all missed a meeting.

Google Audio Indexing now on Google Labs - 0 views

  •  
    Nearly two months ago, we introduced the Google Elections Video Search gadget on iGoogle, a tool that transcribes and indexes the spoken content on YouTube's Politicians channels. It didn't take long for folks to find some creative ways to use it! Now it's possible to enjoy this technology in a bigger way: We just launched Google Audio Indexing (aka GAudi) in Google Labs. The dedicated site offers more features, such as "search within video" and "sharing," and a more robust user interface.

    American politics is transforming due to the Internet. The White House notices changes with the elections through the prompting and rewriting of rules on advertising, fund-raising, and mobilizing supporters. Unfortunately, it also helps the spreading of negative information on Democrats and Republicans.

FiveThirtyEight.com: Electoral Projections Done Right - 0 views

  •  
    GREAT site to take a look and understand how Web 2.0 figures into the elections.
  •  
    This website had a TON of hits this past month -- in the millions -- 3 people and some spreadsheets did this. (See Tom Hoffman's post for more on it.) I think this is something that the students of the Flat Classroom Project will need to integrate into their work.
