I am just playing around with Plurk.com, which is another microblogging service. Personally i’m not a big fan of microblogging, but anyhow, i like Plurk. The creators have integrated a lot of little and nifty features (a timeline etc.).

But see & try yourself…

Want to get a guilty conscience…

… when booking your next flight? ;) There is a great project, which doesn’t focus on the money you pay for the flight, but the most important costs:

Real Costs is a Firefox plug-in that inserts emissions data into travel related e-commerce websites. The first version adds CO2 emissions information to airfare websites such as Orbitz.com, United.com, Delta.com, etc. Following versions will work with car directions, car rental, and shipping websites. Think of it like the nutritional information labeling on the back of food… except for emissions.

After three years i’ll give Tinderbox another try and will play the next time a little bit with the 3.6.2 demo-version. My first impressions after this long period of time are ….. wait…. i will show it in a Tinderbox-Map to you ;)

Especially the “Geek charm” is a big pro. :)
