Gotthard tunnel traffic updates – the smart blog post

Live traffic updates: Gotthard tunnel traffic update

Everyone talks about smart phones today. What about smart blog posts ?
I am just testing this new idea of intelligent blog posts on ppalme.blogspot.com.

It is not just a post on a blog with text and pictures.Iit also contains small little widgets.
One widget for example  is showing all the twitter tweets with the hashtag #Gotthardtunnel.

Additionally it displays  live webcams along the way and has a link to the google traffic map showing the area of the
Gotthard tunnel motorway A2.

Blog posts are easy to display on smart phones and won´t require any apps programming and downloading for the end user.  So drivers can easily get an update on how the traffic flow is towards the Gotthard tunnel and away.
Other drivers can use the hastag #Gotthardtunnel to update on the traffic along the way.

I can add at any time more and more  intelligence to the blog post as I go along.

I just did. Now it includes a google news rss feed on the latest news on the Gotthard tunnel.

Please see my example : Gotthard tunnel traffic update

My New Work-Life Balance With iGoogle – Series 1

igoogle Group

Work: I am looking after the development of a few thousand leaders and employees with a very diversified cultural background stretching over 14 hours time zone.  Life: I have two little kids and my wife is working as a system engineer.

Over the past years I have aquired many new skills and best practices to be more effective. I use speed-reading, speed writing, speed leading and also the process from David Allen – Getting things done – The Art of Stress-Free Productivity and Six Sigma.

And now I am starting to use the latest powers of Web 2.0 to get one more step ahead in designing the ultimate work-life balance.
It was last Sunday when I came about iGoogle. And there it was the ultimate environment to get my whole life and work organized in an instant.
So what has changed since then ?
I have setup two iGoogle accounts – one is for work and the other one for life.

Whenever I am at work I go to my iGoogle work account. There I have a number of gadgets that do some fancy stuff for me. I get the latest leadership quote of the day, the stock price of the company I work for, the latest news through Google Reader about my employer, all the news about Management, Leadership, Talent Management, Employee Development, Career Development and Human Resources and the weather forecast. I have also added Google Bookmarks and the be Twittered Gadget where I see the latest twitter for example from New York Times.
What is the result of this iGoogle for work ? Well, it takes me just 5 minutes and I have the latest update on my company and on my profession.
What other gadgets should I add ? Please leave your suggestions in the comment section below. Thank you.

Twice a day I will log into my iGoogle for Life.  There I can leave a note for my wife or vice versa, see where it is raining or snowing (radar) right now, the receipe of the day or I can search for one, the latest discount offers, another to do list, the snow report of our favourite ski resort, time table search for the public transport, what is on teli tonight, what are the latest movies released, send a free sms, MSN Messenger, News (Menshealth, automotor, etc.), Telephone Book search, Route Search, Translator and search on eBay.
