Greening Your Small Business: Go Beyond the Hype with a Plan that Works for You

by Caron Bee at Business.gov

As "going green" continues to dominate the political and consumer agenda across the U.S., it’s actually easier than you might think for small business to make a difference and "do its bit" for a greener America.

Boxee Apps Developer Challenge Brings Many Opportunities

I found this fascinating article today, here is quote from A VC blog:



Boxee is designed like Firefox. It's open source and anyone can build extensions to the Boxee broswer. But in a nod to Apple's iPhone, Boxee has deployed this "add on" capability as an app store. Developers write apps for Boxee and users discover them in the app store. Today, all apps are free but that will not be the case forever.A VC, May 2009

Behind the scenes of the NYC - Google mapping partnership


From Googl Lat Long Blog



In January New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced a partnership between Googleand NYC & Company, NYC’s official marketing, tourism and partnership organization, to create a new website and high-tech information center.  Using these new tools, you can now plan a trip to NYC from your home computer, transfer your itinerary to your cell phone, and then learn more at an information center.

A number of people have asked us about our role in the NYC partnership.  We did not create nycgo.com and the Official NYC Information Center here at Google, as you'd probably expect.  Rather, we provided NYC with our standard APIs and a bit of technical guidance, and NYC did the rest.

To help other cities and organizations gain a bit more insight into how NYC managed to create nycgo.com and the Official NYC Information Center, we put together this short video of interviews with principal members of the NYC project team:
