Free The Planet of Terrorism

Yahoo Answers asks What should we do to free our planet from terrorism? The question was submitted by… you never guess who… Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. Who is that? India’s (the country) President. Yes, the President of India has proposed this question to the web 2.0 community. So what is the answer?

Its a little contest too. Go figure. There are some interesting answers on there from officials from India and other places. Batman also answers. Welcome to the social web.

Sit down, grab a cup of cofee or tea and have a read. There are some really long answers. Mine was a little short. If everyone feels they can achive more than they have, be successful and prosper, then terrorism pretty much ends. Notice people who have freedom, homes, jobs tend not to want war while those who feel limited and stuck tend to want to fight. Oppertunity and the pursuit of happiness. Give them what we all really want in life and all of a sudden, terrorist loose their ability to recruit.

Welcome to the social orb.

Vid A Day

Vid A Day

Pretty cool site that just happenes to be on WordPress.com I had thought about making a site like this since I have a blog-slash-ezine I have been running (into the ground) for a few years tends to have allot of YouTube videos and such. I figured maybe I should just make a blog on the video world.

But anyway, enough about me. I think this blog has a very nice concept and some interesting video posts from YouTube, Google and some othr places. The site gets its share of comments on its posts AND tends to have multiple related videos in one post of which I think is a good idea since some of the video sharing sites tend to have videos that relate to each other and are just as good as the original video or better.

The site was also featured on the front page of WordPress and just seems pretty cool over all. I guess the design is ok, but the blog overall is nice.
