LoCo teams in Northern Europe in cooperation

Hi News Team

The European Nordic LoCo Teams has created a new extended cooperation,
where we hopefully can learn a lot from each other and inspire people
across the teams. The Nordic countries does not only share geography but
has the same cultural inheritance, making it obvious to cooperate across
the teams.

Perhaps this will inspire other LoCo teams around the world to something
similar, so we will see even more cooperation between Locos..

I have already written a blog article about it where you can find more
information about it: http://martinpihl.dk/words/the-birth-of-a-new-planet

See also the common planet that has come out of it already:
http://planet.ubuntu-nordic.org

Kind regards
Martin Pihl
Leader, Danish Team

Obama's inauguration shakes the Web

Short of election night last year, this week's inauguration of U.S. President Barack Obama pushed the limits, and expectations of various Web services. This includes  the White House's own Web site, which  changed hands before  former U.S. President George W. Bush had even left office. People watching the show from work also set the record for the  most simultaneous streaming-video viewers  in the Web's history.       Our very own Caroline McCarthy was  keeping an eye on social networks and services  like Twitter, Flickr, and Facebook to see what people were saying as the event was happening--and managed to track down many small and interesting tidbits that were overlooked by major news outlets.

Inauguration pushes streaming, the social Web
Short of election night last year, this week's inauguration of U.S. President Barack Obama pushed the limits, and expectations of various Web services. This includes the White House's own Web site, which changed hands before former U.S. President George W. Bush had even left office. People watching the show from work also set the record for the most simultaneous streaming-video viewers in the Web's history.

Our very own Caroline McCarthy was keeping an eye on social networks and services like Twitter, Flickr, and Facebook to see what people were saying as the event was happening--and managed to track down many small and interesting tidbits that were overlooked by major news outlets.

Is Google's Web drive coming soon?
Posted by Stephen Shankland
Google already offers online storage with Gmail, Google Docs, Picasa Web Albums, YouTube, and any number of other services. The question is whether the company sees merit to a general-purpose file repository. Hidden menu options in the company's software, along with hosted internal documents show that this mythical storage beast could be right around the corner.  Read more

AOL Mail gets plug-ins for Google and Yahoo mail
Posted by Rafe Needleman
AOL has a new feature on its AOL Mail product: a plug-in architecture that lets users select from a library of mini-apps they can display in the right-hand sidebar of their AOL Mail session. Included are widgets that let you see your GMail and Yahoo Mail in-boxes. This means you can use AOL Mail to keep tabs on messages coming at you from other sources, which could be sort of cool.  Read more

New wiki-style database for politicians
Posted by Rafe Needleman
Who Runs Gov is a new wiki, powered by MindTouch. Registered users can edit the pages, but changes don't go live until the site's staffers approve the edits. Also, subjects of Who Runs Gov profile pages (or their staff) will be able to submit their own profile information for inclusion on pages about them, a fundamental difference from Wikipedia, where you're not supposed to write about yourself.  Read more

What this Firefox user misses about Chrome
Posted by Stephen Shankland
Call me fickle, but I switched my default browser back to Firefox for the time being. In doing so, I discovered the features I really miss about Chrome. Why did I switch back so soon after lavishing praise on Google's open-source Web browser? Guess what--it's not as stable.  Read more 
Sweep up after Google Chrome
Posted by Jessica Dolcourt
CCleaner reached deep into Chrome, dumping the download history and saved form information in addition to cookies, Internet history, and Internet cache. Of course, Internet history has become more virtue than vice as a searching time-saver. This tool lets you selectively edit what parts you want to get rid of.  Read more
