- EI commits to regular micro-blogging and social networking upon Twitter and Facebook, to promote ecologically sufficient policies adequate to achieve global ecological sustainability March 31, 2009 By Earth's Newsdesk, a project of Ecological Internet http://www.ecoearth.info/newsdesk/ CONTACT: Dr. Glen Barry, [email protected] (Earth) -- Ecological Internet (EI) has committed to furthering its leadership in use of the Internet to facilitate environmental conservation by establishing major new Facebook and Twitter presences[1]. While Ecological Internet's President, Dr. Glen Barry, is widely credited with inventing blogging in 1993[2], a subject of his Ph.D. dissertation; until now they have not embraced the large, commercial social networking sites. Supporters are asked to follow and recommend these efforts. "Facebook's improvement upon public profiles made the time ripe to commit to these technologies to further biocentric thought and an ecologically sufficient policy agenda. The use of RSS/XML technologies has matured to the point where we can micro-blog in one place and have it replicate to all our sites and profiles. And Ecological Internet has long offered our own major RSS/XML newsfeeds of ecological media, alerts, and commentary which others are encouraged to share[3]," said Dr. Glen Barry. Ecological Internet, Inc. specializes in the use of the Internet to achieve ecological science-based environmental conservation outcomes[4]. Ecological Internet's mission is to empower the global movement for environmental sustainability by providing information retrieval tools, portal services, expert analysis and action opportunities that aid in the protection of climate, forest, ocean and water ecosystems; and to commence the age of ecological sustainability and restoration. "We very much hope that many of our 60,000 person global network will choose to become Fans of our Facebook site, and to follow our Twitter feed, while encouraging others to do likewise. As we spend hours each day gathering news and knowledge, we will be sharing insights, observations and protest opportunities based on the latest happenings in ecological science with our supporters.
