Google Chrome Extensions 24 New SEO Plugins

I found this fascinating quote today:

Chrome Seo for modern search engine optimizers, search engine marketers and webmasters. Now more than ever seo is tied directly to the live web and real-time actions. Blog farms and scrapers, gave way to mass social spam and vote rigging. Brokering links was safe, then unsafe for Google whitehat seo, and everything in between. Page rank was abandoned even though its still with us. No-follow links and page sculpting turned out to be a shame, even with proof of concept.

Google’s chrome browser has been with us now for many month but only recently opened the extension arsenal to the world. Social tools, blog extensions, seo plugins and more can all be found. That was half the problem. With so many changes happening every day in the world of search more than the same old tools were needed. With so many old idea once again seeing the light of viable search marketing use, the old tools were sorely needed.

Arctic Ocean acid 'will dissolve shells of sea creatures within 10 years' - Telegraph:
"Arctic Ocean acid 'will dissolve shells of sea creatures within 10 years'"

Arctic Ocean acid 'will dissolve shells of sea creatures within 10 years'

The Arctic Ocean is becoming acidic so quickly that it will reach corrosive levels within 10 years, a leading scientist has warned.

By Matthew Moore
Published: 4:33PM BST 04 Oct 2009

Waters around the North Pole are absorbing carbon dioxide at such a rate that they will soon start dissolving the shells of living sea creatures.

The potentially disastrous consequences for the food chain have been highlighted by Professor Jean-Pierre Gattuso of the National Centre for Scientific Research in France.

His team of oceanographers have produced startling predictions about the acidity of the Arctic Ocean after research carried out on the Svalbard archipelago, a group of islands half way between Norway and the North Pole, revealed that the problem is more advanced than scientists thought.

Their forecasts suggest that by 2018, 10 per cent of the ocean will be corrosively acidic, rising to 50 per cent in 2050. By 2100 the entire Arctic Ocean will be inhospitable to shellfish, they predict.

"This is extremely worrying," Prof Gattuso told the Oceans of Tomorrow conference in Barcelona.

"We knew that the seas were getting more acidic and this would disrupt the ability of shellfish – like mussels – to grow their shells. But now we realise the situation is much worse."

How to make money in a flash? Sell Your body!

How to make money in a flash? Sell Your body!: "How to make money in a flash? Sell Your body!"With unemployment on the rise, there's a growing interest in ways to make money -- preferably how to make money fast.

When you don't have time to go around filling out job applications and taking night classes, your best bet for how to make quick cash might be to pay tribute to the King of Pop and start with the man in the mirror -- and ask him if he has any body parts you can sell off piecemeal for bread money. Here are a few places to get started on how to make money:

Climate Geo Engineering - Pros and Cons of Geoengineering the Climate - thedailygreen.com: "Geo-Engineering: A Climate Fix or Cloud Cuckoo Land?
A quick-fix solution to global warming, through engineering a cooler climate, is appealing - but dangerous. Here's why."

Fault lines already are developing on a wasp's nest of technical, economic, and political questions.

A climate engineering analysis published this month by a University of Texas engineering professor and an American Enterprise Institute researcher concludes that all of the 21st century's projected global warming ... that's right, all of it ... could be offset by spending a mere $9 billion on ships that spray seawater mist into the atmosphere in order to thicken clouds that would redirect sunlight back to space.

Bjorn Lomborg, the skeptical environmentalist, says the idea sounds like the cat's pajamas and never mind the worry warts who in his view have "overstated" the risks of climate engineering.

Not buying it is Roger Pielke, Jr., a University of Colorado environmental studies professor and a bit of an iconoclast who regularly annoys liberal greens and fellow climate researchers.

Pielke argues that the sea mist spraying proposal "is not well grounded in a realistic set of assumptions about how the global earth system actually works." Not enough is known about climate engineering to come up with cost-benefit analyses at this time that would be worth the paper they're printed on.

There is a thicket of vexing issues that cannot be waved away. "The consequences of reflecting sunlight would almost certainly not be the same for all nations and peoples, thus raising legal, ethical, diplomatic, and national security concerns," the American Meteorological Society said in a cautious geo-engineering policy statement published July 12.

Hanging with South Sudan’s All-Female Mine Squads | Danger Room | Wired.com

Hanging with South Sudan’s All-Female Mine Squads | Danger Room | Wired.com: "Hanging with South Sudan’s All-Female Mine Squads" Twenty years of civil war in Sudan, ending in 2005, left the breakaway southern region littered with landmines and unexploded ordnance. Since 2002, aid groups have removed more than 16,000 mines from the region, but thousands more remain. “Many people are not aware that they have a mine on their doorstep,” said U.N. mine official Doep du Plessis.

Armor-wearing de-mining teams employed by humanitarian group Norwegian People’s Aid are on the front lines of an intensive clearing effort. The teams sweep with metal detectors to locate mines, then trim back any grass and soften the hard-baked earth with water before carefully digging up

In a clever bit of viral marketing, a few weeks ago Lockheed Martin released artwork on-line depicting the company’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighter painted in the colors of the Air Force’s Thunderbirds aerobatics team, which in the real world flies F-16s. The delayed, over-budget F-35 is “not likely to appear in Thunderbird colors for at least another decade,” Steve Trimble noted.

It’s 2020, and cities are so overcrowded that it’s impossible to deliver packages. UPS trucks have nowhere to double-park, and obnoxious bike messengers can’t even ride on pedestrian-jammed sidewalks. How, then, can important parcels reach their destinations in a squalid megalopolis of the future? Through the sewers, of course.

The Mole frees up above-ground roadways formore important matters, like mobilizing armies against the cyborgs that will inevitably plague our future cities.

Many have been surprised by the "greening branches" of the U.S. military.

In May a report on climate change (PDF) was issued by the powerful MAB (Military Advisory Board), an organization of high-ranking U.S. military officials which not only acknowledged climate change (a dramatic about-face from the Bush years) but also detailed the many ways in which climate change could impact national security.

Verizon offers wireless concessions to a skeptical Congress - Ars Technica: "Verizon offers wireless concessions to a skeptical Congress

Comes Verizon with bright new ideas about exclusive handset deals and roaming that will appear to some as olive branches, and to others as ways to head off stronger laws from Congress."

No doubt about it—we've got a Congress and Federal Communications Commission that are far more skeptical of the wireless industry than they've been in the past. And if the average cell phone user hasn't sensed this, Verizon has. The mobile giant has been very pro-active of late on hot button issues like roaming and exclusive handset deals. Its CEO has been running around Washington, D.C. making announcements and floating policy recommendations that will appear to some as olive branches, but to others as bids to ward off stricter government scrutiny.

And it sure looks like said scrutiny is coming. Even before FCC Chair Julius Genachowski actually got his job, he promised a probe on the exclusive handset question

To create this exotic state of matter, researchers at the FLASH facility in Hamburg, Germany, took a thin piece of aluminium foil and blasted it with an X-ray laser that can generate about 10 million gigawatts of power per square centimetre.

At standard temperature and pressure, solid aluminium is a lattice of ions, with a sea of free electrons in between. The FLASH beam had enough energy to knock an electron out of each ion and set it free, while the photon"

On July 10, the Army issued a request for information from companies interested in bidding on an Afghanistan-wide security contract. While a formal solicitation has not been launched, the idea would be to provide security services for approximately 50 or more forward operating bases or command outposts throughout Afghanistan.

Could social media have stopped the Rwandan genocide?

Could social media have stopped the Rwandan genocide?: "Could social media have stopped the Rwandan genocide?"

This was a question British Prime Minister Gordon Brown reflected on recently:

“You cannot have Rwanda again because information would come out far more quickly about what is actually going on and the public opinion would grow to the point where action would need to be taken.”

Chris Williams had his own ideas, regarding Gordon’s thoughts on Rwanda. Thing is, Chris makes one point by missing another all together:

“We’d like to see him try Twittering that to people in Sudan, or Northern Sri Lanka, or Somalia.”

The point he missed is that of communications technology and infrastructure, something Sudan and Sri Lanka and Somalia probably don’t have much of.
