			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday I received an email from <a title="Carie Bishop" href="http://carriebish.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Carrie Bishop</a> who is working with <a href="http://www.whitebandaction.org/g20voice" target="_blank">G20 Voice</a> to organise a post-G20 Summit get together at Bar Kick, former <a title="Shoreditch Twit #3" href="http://socialprobiotic.wordpress.com/2008/10/16/shoreditch-twit-3-kicks-up-a-fuss/" target="_blank">Shoreditch Twit</a> venue. It&#8217;s called <a href="http://g20meetswe20.eventbrite.com/" target="_blank">G20 meets We20</a>, at which point you might be feeling lost so here&#8217;s a quick explanation&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-244" title="g20" src="http://socialprobiotic.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/bank.jpg" alt="g20" width="500" height="162" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.g20.org/about_what_is_g20.aspx" target="_blank">G20</a> &#8211; Group of Twenty (G-20) Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors was established in 1999 to bring together systemically important industrialized and developing economies to discuss key issues in the global economy. Also a <a href="http://www.g20.net/" target="_blank">model number</a> from car manufacturer Infiniti.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.londonsummit.gov.uk/en/" target="_blank">G20 Summit</a> &#8211; On 2 April 2009, world leaders from the G20 countries &#8211; representing 85% of the world&#8217;s output &#8211; will meet in London against the backdrop of the worst international banking crisis in generations.<strong></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.whitebandaction.org/en/g20voice" target="_blank">G20Voice</a> &#8211; 50 of the world’s most interesting and influential bloggers will be your eyes and ears at the G20 Summit. They come from 22 different countries, and between them represent a global audience of over 14 million readers. Some are ‘professional bloggers’, others are ordinary citizens who have become well known through their blogs.</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G4_(band)" target="_blank">G4</a> &#8211; successful vocal troupe made famous by <a title="ITV" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITV">ITV</a>&#8217;s <em><a title="The X Factor (UK)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X_Factor_%28UK%29">The X Factor</a></em> television programme in 2004 in which they came second. Also a type of <a href="http://www.apple.com/support/powermac/g4/" target="_blank">Apple Computer.<br />
</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.we20.org/about/" target="_blank">We20</a> &#8211; was inspired as a public initiative to run alongside the G20, creating a bridge between the G20 leaders and you.  I&#8217;m not entirely sure, but I think We20 aims to provide the platform for people like you and me to come up with plans to help save the global economy. Help.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.we7.com/#/" target="_blank">We7</a> &#8211; is an ad-supported music download and streaming site launched in 2007 and supported by ex-Genesis frontman, Peter Gabriel. <em>[disclosure: We7 used to be a Shiny Red client]</em></p>
<p><a href="http://g20meetswe20.eventbrite.com/" target="_blank">G20meetsWe20</a> &#8211; Post G20 Summit meetup which should be a good chance to hear what some G20Voice bloggers, including <a href="http://twitter.com/vikkichowney" target="_blank">Vikki Chowney</a> and <a href="http://perfectpath.co.uk/" target="_blank">Lloyd Davis</a>, thought of the summit, and probably play some table football as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.revaindia.com/" target="_blank">G-Wiz</a> &#8211; electric car produced by Indian company Reva &#8211; famously beat a Mustang in a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE3GvbDgOCg" target="_blank">drag race</a> once the Top Gear  crew got their hands on a few extra batteries.</p>
<p>Right, that should be clear then?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" style="margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px;float:right;" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/1/352184_dfd85c971e.jpg" alt="Cow Pie" width="300" height="180" />US PR blogger <a href="http://fakeplasticnoodles.com/" target="_blank">Mel Seasons</a> made a note in her facebook profile on what could prove to be a cheeky viral site prior to the US elections. <a title="Things younger than john mccain" href="http://www.thingsyoungerthanmccain.com/" target="_blank">Things younger than John McCain</a> is what it says on the tin: a blog listing things that were invented, discovered, created or born after 29th August, 1936, the day on which <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain" target="_blank">Senator John Sidney McCain III</a> first arrived in the world.</p>
<p>The objects, events and people singled out range from the bizarre (Scientology, the Hindenburg disaster, and Monty Python favourite &#8211; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anwy2MPT5RE" target="_blank">Spam</a>) to some much more thought provoking suggestions including McDonalds, Israel, and <a href="http://www.thingsyoungerthanmccain.com/?p=32" target="_blank">both of Barack Obama&#8217;s parent</a><a href="http://www.thingsyoungerthanmccain.com/?p=32" target="_blank">s</a>.</p>
<p>After doing some research of my own, I found out that <a href="http://www.dandy.com/">The Dandy</a>, home of Desperate Dan and cow pie was first published in 1937, making it younger than John McCain.</p>
