- eBay Launches New Green Brand Message
“The greenest product is the one that already exists.

According to Greenpeace (via the New York Times), [...] - "New" Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For: Part 1
The February 28th edition of CBS’s popular Sunday Morning show led with a profile of SAS, the top shop in this year’s Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For.

A while back, as a result of this post about Amazon plug-ins, Ted Demopoulos sent me a copy of his book, What No One Ever Tells You about Blogging and Podcasting - thanks Ted!
