social network

A 'heads up' on a new social network focused on climate change.

A friend invited me to join a site called GenGreen, which is basically a MySpace-esque site for the environmentally conscious. I was surprised to see some of the members who are using the site because I could never have guessed some of these people cared about the environment. What appears to make GenGreen different is that its focus is local and it has a somewhat separate section for each state in the U.S. You'll have to visit the site to see what I mean. It's a new-ish site, but their intentions are beyond anything I've seen. This is worth your attention!

Now green bloggers can make money and increase traffic with FeedBurner Networks. Recently the company began introduced the long-anticipated service, which gives users the ability to create and manage feed networks based on a topic or theme. These feeds can then be combined and displayed across the web using their numerous feed tools and widgets. Obviously we’re most excited about the new Alternative Energy Network and Sustainability Network.
