ChainStoreReaction.com believes “Slavery is a global problem that requires a global solution. We believe that the solution requires consumers and producers to work together. As consumers, we are in essence the last link in the supply chain. By the pure law of physics, we have the leverage to PULL that chain and create a reaction that leads all the way down to the very first link. If we as consumers don’t pull that chain, no one will.

One of the most strategic battlefields of the 21st Century Abolitionist Movement is the marketplace. Everyone has a role to play, and your consumption is a deft weapon, that when used properly, can elicit tangible and viral freedom. We believe one of the most effective penalties you can offer a producer who is not operating with transparency, is to choose a more transparent competitor.

Because we purchase our products in public, we choose to discuss a way forward in this issue, in public. Therefore, we are initiating an open conversation on this site that allows us to voice our demand of SlaveFREE products, and in turn hear what companies are doing on the issue.”

I was talking with JJ tonight who recommended StackOverflow.com the anti Experts-Exchange.com site.

Ad.ly provides analytics for your Twitter account(s).  My followers are 38% engaged, 74% male, 24% female, and are located throughout the US.

Check out this world clock which continually updates itself as the world changes.

SixRevisions.com has a nice post showing the history of the Internet so far.

WordCount™ is an artistic experiment in the way we use language. It presents the 86,800 most frequently used English words, ranked in order of commonness. Each word is scaled to reflect its frequency relative to the words that precede and follow it, giving a visual barometer of relevance. The larger the word, the more we use it. The smaller the word, the more uncommon it is.  For instance if the word Jeremy was in a popularity contest I would be ranked #7,521.

Check out some of the following I’ve tried:

• The = #1
• Me = #72
• God = #376
• Safeway = #22,415
• California = #4024
• Illinois = #21,125 (for Jill)
• Dog = #1276
• Cat = #2,532
• Man = #142
• Woman = #393
• His = #27
• Her= #36
• Love = #383
• Hate = #3,107
• Basketball = #19,433
• Baseball = #12,548
• Live = 561
• Die = 1,840

I just discovered Brizzly.com the other night which essentially is a site that makes Twitter much more usable.  It takes your Twitter account information and aggregates your feed into a cleaner UI/interface.  The site is currently available by invite only.  I signed up and it took a week or two to get an invitation code.  It features keyboard shortcuts much like Google Reader which I love.  So far I’m loving it.

I just discovered WhatTheTrend.com which explains why a hashtag (#) is trending on Twitter which is useful for people like me who don’t get to follow things in the news as closely as I would like.
