The way it works, is with their super smart email parser, every confirmation email you get from airlines, hotels, car rentals, etc gets automatically put into trip itineraries, which are then accessible on mobile devices too. You can also manually enter in the info.

And what’s cool is that it finds the gate info for your flight, alerts you to changes, and allows you to share trip info as well.

Useful stuff.

I found it to be a pretty powerful movie and the interviews with the farmers were very revealing. The stats on FDA investigations, and E. coli contamination were hard to argue with.

And is if on queue, this story popped into my stream today “1 million pounds of ground beef recalled: 7 people sickened by E. coli after eating meat from California company” while I was eating a quick bite, and I just had to blog this

My $.02: Cost and lack of choice make it hard for everyone to pick locally grown produce and organic meats. I think efforts to have food labels include the source of the food, treatment of the animals, etc — and make it available online — are a good approach to this. Then people can vote with their pocketbooks on what foods they want to consume, and hopefully drive the marketplace to better choices and better pricing as farmers gain predictability of demand. In fact, in Food Inc there is a segment on how Walmart is moving in the direction of offering more sustainable and organic foods — purely because that’s where the market is heading and that’s what their customers want.

The rise of independent publishers through blogging tools such as WordPress has been profound for the investor community. With the integration of RSSCloud, PuSH, Twitter, and Facebook — blogs are now part of the real-time stream and are playing an ever large role in the day-to-day of the investors. I’ve seen firsthand two major trends that were previously unthinkable and nearly impossible to pull off.

What caught my eye one night was seeing a shout out to the city of Be’er Sheva, which one of the characters was from:

Roughly translated, she is saying “this wouldn’t happen in Be’er Sheva …”.

If Tel-Aviv is the NYC / Miami / LA of Israel, then Be’er Sheva is the Cleveland / Detroit / Newark of Israel — a great town but doesn’t get a lot of respect.

The other day I ran across Glympse – and it does exactly what I was wishing for. You install the mobile app, and then you email or SMS who you would like to share your location with. The recipients don’t need the app, they just follow a private link, and they get to see in real-time where you are and the progress you are making. You also control the duration of the time where they can track you.

I find this perfect for meetings and letting your family know that you are heading home.

I’ve been testing it all week, and for me it’s replacing my SMS updates as I make my way to a destination with a single one of these glympse links – it’s very cool.

Inspired by Mel Gibson’s outlandish recorded phone calls to his ex, I decided to call the internet with some complaints that have been building up. And I did it, Mel style.
