Having ranted yesterday about how discussions about our personal carbon footprints are a distraction, I now feel obliged to raise an exception. If we’re talking about how to use our software expertise to support personal footprint reduction on a grander scale, I’m all for it.

These ten were presented at a conference in SF yesterday called Green:Net09, and a panel of judges selected a winner – presumably the company most likely to succeed. The judges picked WattBot, while the audience favourite was FarmsReach.
