Earth Hour in and of itself is a cool concept – and somehow the Boston Globe made it even cooler. How? The Globe brought Earth Hour to life.
Check out their Earth Hour photos — you can click each one (starting with #2) and watch the lights fade on and off.
Well done, Boston Globe. Well done.

In other news, a good friend from work showed me couchobjects.com today. – I love the “nom” necklace. If I had three, it’d be “nom nom nom.” Hilarious.

It was an overnight sensation. And now it looks like it may come to an end as quickly as it became popular.
Tweepme is a site that promises to get you followers fast. How is this done? Every person who joins the Tweepme community automatically friends everyone else in the community. Soon users have thousands of “friends” all following one another.
I said it yesterday, and I agree with this Mashable Tweet: @mashable TweepMe seems to totally misunderstand the point of Twitter. Not recommended.
In my opinion, Twitter’s usefulness comes from growing quality communities naturally. The point is not simply to make friends – but to friend users who will listen and participate. That’s not to say Tweepme followers wouldn’t also contribute, but there’s that underlying knowledge that other users were forced to follow you – and you them.
If that’s not enough of a strike against Tweepme, how about this: Twitter’s cracking down on script users. There are several scripts out there that allow you to friend your friends’ friends with one click – and then unfollow those who don’t friend you back. Not surprisingly, Twitter is now taking action against those scripts, and now this.
Anyway, that’s what I have to say. Here’s what an actual Tweepme user has to say.
