Captures the essence of it quite well with these points:

- pages are not the centre of the web now, data and services are.

Some very cool lightwriting techniques from Lichtfactor. They must be very patient people indeed.

Originally uploaded by Greenpeace Esperanza

I've been following this great Flickr contributor from Greenpeace for a while now. The photos are taken by Greenpeace staff working on the Greenpeace Esperanza in the Pacific Ocean. The photos they post are infrequent depending on who seems to be on rotation, but show the crew, the work and the environment they spend their time in. They bring a real insight into the ship, the crew and Greenpeace, despite the Esperanza being on the other side of the world.

Its a great way of spreading the word of Greenpeace, and it does make it look very exciting!

This is their first Flickr video, nothing especially exciting but again, a great way of demonstrating why the Esperanza and Greenpeace are deep in the Pacific Ocean. If only they'd add in some location metadata and then we could see exactly where they are. That would be cool.
