It is a page that shows the hot, mild and cold links, in a week of activity around the network of 2MM web sites that use Snap Shots. Search engine’s zeitgeist page shows what people are searching for when they start their activity online, while HotShots shows where people link to in their recent posts and articles and how their readers interact with that content.

Erick Schonfeld of TechCrunch calls it “the linkgeist of the web”. I like that name.

Check it out (make sure you visit every Tuesday evening when an updated version goes live) and visit the Snap Blog to learn more about it.

I would like to use this day as an opportunity and remind everyone about CO2 Saver. It is a lightweight application that automatically adjusts computer?s power settings when the computer is idle in order to reduce electricity usage (and bills) and by that decrease CO2 omission.

CO2 Saver was released nearly 6 months ago (on April 25th 2007) and since then helped save over 429,000 lbs of emission which equals to nearly 5000 tree seedlings grown for 10 years. Very impressive!

Those of you who have not installed CO2 Saver on their desktop and/or laptop yet should do it by clicking here.
