What Company is Offering:
Find out how big a country is by comparing it to somewhere you know well.
Countrysize is a personal attempt to make it easier to understand events - natural disasters, wars, politics - which take place on a scale which is hard to understand.
How It Works:
The idea is that you can compare the area of interest to an area you are more familiar with. It can only be a rough approximation of the true scale.
CIA has given most of the data and maps used on this site. The global factbook is a comprehensive resource which I believe they are required to make available to the public because of US laws. I'm sure this obligation doesn't extend to non Americans like me, so I hope they don't mind ;-O
Maps of Scotland, England, and Wales were found on the Wikimedia Commons project.

Carbonrally is a web-based activism platform offering individuals and groups a fun, simple and social way to have a measurable impact on climate chang
What Company is Offering:
Carbonrally is a web-based activism platform offering individuals and groups a fun, simple and social way to have a measurable impact on climate change.
How It Works:
They would create a place where many people could discover and commit to small, positive actions over time. People on the site could propose great ideas for reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and the community would choose the best ideas to pursue as a team. They’d track the collective impacts, and show the power of many people getting the job done together. Bit by bit, the community would learn the connections between climate and lifestyle, and rack-up literally tons of carbon benefits along the way. The Internet would make the process surprisingly fun and social… they’d celebrate and we’d compete!
They’ll post a Featured Challenge every few weeks on the site, and they’ll notify you by email when thye do. Most challenges are easy, short-term actions, but theye’ll throw in a doozy from time to time to keep it interesting. If the Featured Challenge doesn’t apply to you, or is something you’re already in the habit of doing, then you can look at the Previous Challenges where you might find some other actions that make more sense for you.
You can see how you’re doing by visiting your My Carbon Page. Or, view the Total Impact Map for a real-time snapshot of Rally results in different parts of the country. There are also impact maps associated with each challenge. On any map, you can click on a green bar to learn more about the people and action in a certain city.

Gas Pumps Meets Google
What Company is Offering:
Gilbarco Veeder-Root's new Applause media system lets consumers display maps, find local listings, and print driving directions and money-saving coupons right at the pump. The technology is an extension of Gilbarco’s SMART Merchandising System for delivering promotions and coupons at the fuel dispenser, and brings the power of Google to gas customers through a live internet connection.Gilbarco Veeder-Root provides fueling and retail management systems for convenience stores, hypermarkets and service stations. Products include dispensers, tank gauges, submersible pumps, POS, back office and service monitoring.
How It Works:
Users can view maps on the pump’s screen, search Google’s local business listings by category (restaurant, hospital, gift shop, etc.), and print easy-to-read driving directions to go right on the pump's receipt printer.
The technology is expected to start appearing in gas stations throughout the U.S. next month, and could result in increased sales for those that use it.
"Getting directions at the pump is safer than using internet-enabled devices from the driver’s seat and far more reliable than just asking a stranger," explains Kirsten Paust, vice president of global retail systems at North Carolina-based Gilbarco Veeder-Root. "We believe consumers will prefer convenience stores that deliver useful information and ultimate convenience. Retailers who use these tools will make themselves more valuable to consumers and gain the competitive edge."
