Daily Clicks around the trintraweb looking for interesting reading November 7th through November 10th:

• The Dopplr Effect: Have Social Media, Will Travel – Christine at almostfearless has a great feature list for Dopplr. The site lets you keep track of where friends and workmates are. It enables you to meet up with people in unexpected places by keeping tabs on who is visiting a town in the next wee while. It’s green credentials calculate your carbon footprint….I know a few colleagues who **need** this site. Unfortunately I’m often at my base outside Manchester at the moment, but this will come in handy when on the road in 2009.
• Jamie Oliver gives evidence to the Health Select Committee – A great find following Jamie’s Ministry of Food – a show named after the WWII Ministry of food rationing in the UK. Oliver makes the case to a committee scrutinising government policy — the premise for Ministry is to ‘pass it on’ – a concept of community building and knowledge sharing which I don’t see often enough. This example engages apathetic communities, so how else can this be applied?
