Not sure it would be easy to convince the CEO...

A new way to find images for your Powerpoint Presentations

Google launched its new Google Labs feature, Google Swirl, as a more exploratory and interactive alternative to the usual image search. Click on a Washington monument image, and the image cluster expands outward in a swirling pattern to form a constellation of sub-cluster images. The results organize themselves by characteristics such as night or day views and different lighting angles, etc...






It's way more friendly than usinge the traditionnal Google Image Search and The Similar images options.
"We think it's particularly important for visual information, because that's more about exploring rather than finding," said Aparna Chennapragada, Google product manager for Image Swirl. "We think the interface should allow for that."
And it does !
Let's just hope that it would be chosen by Google among all the innovations available on Google Labs, to be released. And it should since it's top ranked by the internauts.
Google Swirl ranks in the top Google Labs Innovations

A interesting way to compensate Greenhouse gazes




Carbone boréal is both a greenhouse gas offset program, through tree planting, and a research project led by researchers at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (Qc, Canada). Any organization or individual can participate in this innovative project. Each and every contributor helps to finance tree planting to offset the greenhouse gases emitted by their organization, family, activities, etc.
The boreal forest in Québec includes natural open woodlands that do not self-regenerate. The project aims at establishing research forests within these open woodlands, in collaboration with Québec’s Ministry of Natural Resources, while respecting forest ecosystems and boreal biodiversity. Each contributor to Carbone boréal gains reliable and verified carbon credits, at a competitive cost and fully tax refundable (in Canada).
