When you begin to think “why not” you get some interesting ideas.

There guys have an idea that’s so simple, it may be the perfect answer.

Connections and our social networks are like a super organism that allows us to spread good and bad.

What you do affects those around you. We know that.. but recent work by Nicholas Christakis tells us that it’s in the structure of our networks

This short video explains so much

Since I first encountered Christakis’s ideas, I’ve looked at almost everything in a new light.

Instead of worrying about selling something to someone, I realize that helping him connect someone he knows to someone I know will build cluster of profitability. The ROI looks like serendipity, but is it?

My prescription for positive emotions.. a DANCE video every morning.

Froe Mashable: Google Energy: Google Can Now Buy and Sell Electricity

Google’s ever-expanding empire has added another branch: subsidiary Google Energy has been granted an order by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to buy and sell energy at market rates.

Does this mean Google is set to become your power company? Not yet — instead, Google wants more control over the high energy costs of its many data centers, and also aims to become carbon neutral. A Google spokesperson told CNET: “Right now, we can’t buy affordable, utility-scale, renewable energy in our markets. We want to buy the highest quality, most affordable renewable energy wherever we can and use the green credits.”

Google has been working toward energy autonomy for years. Green power, nuclear discussions, geo thermal and more.

Google has become a major user of power, and a powerful force in the world.

Will they now buy and sell electric power too?

I’ve been talking with David Greschler and his team at Microsoft about their mission to bring virtualization and cloud computing to us all. Some of my friends on Twitter have asked what all the fuss is about, so I”ll explain here.

Computing “in the cloud” is using computer power that is outside your own machine. Essentially, you are doing this everytime you access a web site, view your email online or join a social network.

Virtualization is a breakthrough that allows companies to use just the computing power they need. This will lower costs, save energy and bring a lot more service to you where and when you need them.

If you have questions about cloud computing, virtualization or how to create a vision for your enterprise, just TWEET to my friend David Greschler (@DGreschler on Twitter) or post a comment here.
A new study shows that adoption of this technology is the next big thing in computing and will affect us all. You may not need to know HOW it work.. but do take a moment and watch this video for an overview.

One thing I’ve learned from social media is that a message can spread quickly when it has benefit to those that pass it on. I do hope you can see that clean drinking water for every person on Earth is not just doable, but a message worth spreading.
Please take a minute after you watch this to post/tweet/share this with all you can.
Too much of the world lacks access to clean drinking water. Engineer Michael Pritchard did something about it — inventing the portable Lifesaver filter, which can make the most revolting water drinkable in seconds.
An amazing demo from TEDGlobal 2009.

Inspiring video reminds us the power of one person to do a lot of good in the world. And that’s GOOD ENERGY #GED999
