Google Earth Day Word Search

April 21, 2008

Search for the Earth Day word that isn’t really one from the following list of 21 iGoogle tab themes.

Google offers custom Google page themes for iGoogle account holders.

After you have established your iGoogle account, you will see your home page tab followed by “Add a tab” and then to the far right “Select theme” and “Add stuff” links.

iGoogle

Click on the “Select theme” link and you will be taken to directory of Google themes for use as images within your iGoogle tabs. You can search for word specific themes or drill down through their list a page at a time.

iGoogle Theme Search

I have searched through the majority of iGoogle page theme options to produce the following selection of 21 Earth Day related images and words for use in your iGoogle tabs.

To keep things interesting, I have slipped in one image and word that under most circumstances wouldn’t qualify as an Earth Day related term.

See if you can figure out which one word and image aren’t even remotely related to Earth Day and submit your answer in the “Leave a reply” section of the post.

US Population Statistics and Clock

April 21, 2008

The United States Census Bureau provides some great statistics of US population data.

Two of my favorite sources of Census statistics are the US Population Clock and the US Population Density Map.

Only with a firm grasp of US population figures and density can direct marketers begin to target their prospects let alone acquire new customers profitably.

The US Population Clock projects US population in GMT daily.

US Population Clock

According to the US Population Clock, the US has:

One birth every……………………………. 7 seconds

One death every……………………………. 12 seconds

One international migrant (net) every………… 29 seconds

Net gain of one person every………………… 12 seconds

The US Population Density map also includes population statistics of border towns. The US Population density map provides a quick way to visualize where US geographic markets are.
