Ölpest von BP, die Republikaner und die Webcam

Die Ölpest die durch die Bohrinsel von BP verursacht wurde ist wohl eine der schlimmsten Naturkatastrophen die der Mensch je verursacht hat. Das Ausmaß ist unbeschreiblich, ich bin davon überzeugt, dass die negativen Folgen der Verschmutzung auch noch über zwei Generationen hinweg spürbar sein werden.

Die Kosten für die Eingrenzung der Verpestung werden Milliarden Euro betragen. BP wird diese tragen müssen, das hat die derzeitige Regierung klar gemacht. Dagegen sind die Republikaner (die Amis können praktisch nur zwischen Demokraten und Republikaner entscheiden) der Meinung, dass BP nicht mehr als 75 Millionen $ bezahlen sollte.

Mittlerweile versucht BP natürlich den massiven Imageschaden so gut es geht einzudämmen. Die neuste Maßnahme ist gerade eine Webcam am Boden des Meeres die auf das sprudelnde Leck gerichtet ist. Zu sehen ist die Cam direkt auf der Webseite von BP.

Innovation & Limitation - A Lecture by Malcolm Gladwell on Social Media

This is the lecture Gladwell gave in Vancouver the other day at the F5 Expo. Runs about 50mins but I think it is definitely worth your time. 

Really thought provoking. I can kind of see why some people at this conference didn’t enjoy it because these type of conferences are made to hype up what you’re already interested in and encourage you. But taken the right way I think it can improve how people use tools like facebook and twitter.

Anyway, I’d be really interested in what other tumblrs thought of Gladwell’s lecture. Maybe you don’t take twitter/tumblr/facebook as seriously as he is talking here, maybe you just use it to goof off or maybe do some personal branding for your work (where weak-ties would be useful). But surely we’ve all read articles on Obama using twitter to help build a following and saw the whole green avatar for Iran effort, and I think Gladwell really pulls the rug out from the idea that something like twitter is truly useful for that. 

*update* So I obviously don’t use twitter for any kind of self-marketing but I do however use it as a place to attain info on a range of topics. That being said I went through my following list and managed to delete half the people I was following. I unfollowed people whose lives I didn’t feel very invested in* or people that didn’t consistently provide information (videos/articles/music/other such things that perk my interest) I was personally intrigued by. 

*Honestly, there are people on twitter I don’t know whatsoever who talk about their lives constantly and for whatever reason I want to see what happens with their jobs/girlfriends/softball teams/etc… Kind of like The Hills.

It was a really long while ago that I last saw Nick Cave. It was one of the last shows I went to before I moved to America. It was raining really hard; I got drenched on the way home.
