Think entrepreneurship is just something you’re born with? Well, listen to how today’s guest became an entrepreneur by obsessing over her idea. She didn’t seek out entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship found her. Also, listen to the story of how today’s founder got kicked out of Starbucks because she was surveying people to get early user feedback. All that and so much more.

Major Metropolises Visualized Through Tweets
1. Europe 2. Noth America 3. Tokyo 4. New York 5. Istanbul 6. Moscow
Twitter recently created a visualization of all of the geo-tagged Tweets since 2009. The resulting satellite images of major cities depicted through billions of dots (each dot being a tweet, with the colour symbolizing the amount of tweets) is stunning to say the least. Cities in the Visualizations series include Tokyo, Moscow, Istanbul, Boston, and as seen above, New York. They also have maps of both North America and Europe. Take a closer look below and check out the full series on Twitter’s Flickr page.

climateadaptation:

Excellent progress out of NYC. This clicks through to the NYC Govt tumblr!

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg today released the 2013 PlaNYC progress report and announced that the City is on track to meet all of its ambitious sustainability targets.

The report – an annual benchmarking of the City’s work toward its PlaNYC goals – measures progress on more than 100 initiatives that the City has launched to meet its targets for cleaner air and water, more housing and park space, and enhanced quality of life for all New Yorkers.

In the last year, the City built on the achievements made since PlaNYC first launched in 2007 by:

planting 65,000 trees;

breaking ground on a new project at High Bridge Park;

launching Citi Bike, the city’s newest public transportation option and nation’s largest bike share program;

undertaking the largest expansion of the recycling system in 25 years;

and reaching a 16 percent greenhouse gas reduction – more than halfway to the goal of 30 percent by 2030.
