I created a list that shares essential information on an assortment of superfoods, such as: maca, blue-green algae, raw cacao, Tibetan goji berries, golden Inca berries, alkalizing greens, cordyceps, colloidal gold, phytoplankton, noni juice, and one of the very best raw sacred chocolate bars in the world!  This is a listing of some of the best superfoods available, describing key elements, and links to more information and resources.  

The full listing is available here, and as a compact Super Food Widget that can easily be embedded into any social network, blog, or web page. 

Enjoy!

Palantir

Some crafty engineers over at FaceBook recently created the Palantir open-source computer application (named after one of the powerful “seeing stone” orbs in Lord of the Rings) that visualizes live activity on the FaceBook social network. See a video of the application here.

 

 

Lexicon

The FaceBook Lexicon is an application that presents key word usage on member’s post pages, with all types of options for comparative demographics. Below is a sample image from Lexicon that shows the number of keyword posts for “Obama” from June 6 – Nov 31, 2008.  Accordingly, the “Obama” posts peak around election day.  Although males show a slight majority of keyword “Obama” posts in this graph, I had also done a different comparative graph that shows females posting “Obama” nearly twice as much as males around election day.


 

 

People Power

Here is a report on FaceBook’s greatest energy source: people power.  Literally speaking, the amount of energy people use burning calories while interacting with the social network (more than 2 billion minutes per day) exceeds the amount of electricity used to power the computer server network.

 

All together and more, these advents of information technology are literally beginning to bring increasing definition and expression to the multitudinous aspects involving the living, breathing, thinking, seeing body, mind, and spirit of the global collective.
