Blog Focus on Technology Helping the World
Blog Focus is Technorati's daily roundup of the top stories as told by the bloggers of the world. Each day a handful of posts, no matter how popular or nascent, will be selected by editors to portray a general unscientific reaction to discussion points around the 'Net.
The New York Times related the results of recent studies yesterday that imply humans aren't merely selfish war-mongering competitors. Instead, work with toddlers seems to tell us that we're born with the desire to assist others, which might have been what led us to cooperative behaviors like hunting parties, agriculture, and decrying corduroy skirts as a sin.
Bloggers are here to help you every day out of the same primal instinct to lift us all up together. Here's how people are needing people today:
• The Official Google Blog — Google is joining Twitter and other major companies and blogs by turning their pages red today for World AIDS Day.
• TechDirt — TechDirt (and Sun and Intel) want to help you become an IT Innovator to "create interesting and useful content for our readers in the realm of server hardware and datacenter management". These crazy kids, helpin' out any way they can.
• Gadgetell — Shawn Ingram helps you by finding the gift idea perfect for your gadget-crazy family and friends: a portable battery to power it all.
• The Next Web — Alex Wilhelm notes that Google is helping the Web standards community by announcing the eventual end of Google Gears in favor of the HTML5 standard. Come together, brothers and sisters, around a single Web standard!
• AppleInsider — Finally, Apple has chosen to help Psystar stop hitting itself in the face with its own hand by apparently having come to agreement over a settlement with the Mac clone maker over... well, making Mac clones. So that's kind of like helping, right?
