Cat chases bear up tree & a new BBC tool
I found this funny article with a new tool from the BBC.
The live world map constantly updates showing you the most popular BBC articles. It also shows what geographical areas are using the site at the moment and what stories they look at.
The British are interested in the view of the brother involved in the terror raid. The American care more of Bush’s surprise Iraq visit.
Google Bomb to Free Alaa
Wikipedia:
Alaa Abd El-Fatah … is a prominent Egyptian blogger, software developer, and democracy activist. He is known for co-founding (along with wife Manal) the Egyptian blog aggregator “Manalaa”. (…)
On Sunday, May 7, 2006, Abd El-Fatah was arrested during a peaceful protest which spoke out on behalf of an independent Egyptian judiciary. His arrest, along with that of several other bloggers and democracy activists, spurred a protest by others around the world, some of whom created a new blog, “Free Alaa”, devoted to calling for his release from jail.
So a Google Bomb has been set up so a search for the word “Egypt” will bring up the website of a blog campaigning for his release.
