I suggest TC should be the public advisor (not as in Govt, but as in open) to suggest which energy startup should be bought by which VC and sold to which incumbent energy megacorp. Fuel’s running out, we better be quick about effective energy transition. You dont flush out incumbents, that’s the republican way of thinking, you transform them, that’s the liberal way. TC looks really well placed for that. Going to a green economy in four years aint gonna be easy.

[...] During past elections, information was sought largely from television news. This time, I paid more attention to a large selection of Web sites than to the obnoxious commentary of political analysts. Apparently, so did a lot of other people: According to Akamai, which is the content delivery network for most major news sites including CNN (which had a record day on its own), NBC, Reuters, and the BBC, global visitors to news sites peaked last night at 11 PM with 8,572,042 visitors per minute. That is double the normal traffic level, and 18 percent above the previous peak of 7.3 million visitors per minute achieved during the World Cup back in June, 2006. (The third biggest peak to news sites was last March during the first day of the U.S. college basketball playoffs when it hit 7 million visitors per minute).(TechCrunch) [...]

Once they called OHio, I knew Obama would win and read a book. I only caught the first bit of his speech. It was good, but I got tired and fell asleep. I’ll watch the rest online!

I would actually disagree and say that the leader of OPEC who makes the final decisions on Oil Prices each week is actually the worlds most powerful man!

This is not surprising…

After all the election is not just for another country … it is for USA.

Whoever is the president of USA, is officially the “World’s most Powerful Man!!!”

Sadly, the only thing that brings more people to watch tv, or go online, is a funeral. So while his swearing in will be historic, I would say his death would be more so as people go online to send condolences, watch tributes, etc.
