Pilgrim’s Picks for April 22 - Earth Day Edition

Today is Earth Day. If you’ve not already thought about steps you can take to help protect the planet, maybe today is a good day to start.
While you’re giving that some thought, here are today’s Picks:
- When Google employees leave the company, they like to start new companies in groups of three, apparently. Including The Mechanical Zoo a stealth social search engine.
- NBC News and MSNBC.com will provide political news and other content to social networking site MySpace.
- David Churbuck normally defends the reputation of Lenovo. Today he’s flipped the coin and is going after Honda for the crappy service he’s had with a lawnmower purchase.

David Churbuck’s post should wake Honda up. This is not how Honda’s dealers normally behave. I am surprised. I hope that you will follow up on what actually happens.

Churbuck should quit whining and be thankful that Vonage didn’t make his lawnmower, then he’d really know the definition of bad customer service

I didn’t flip a coin, I flipped out! I hate doing this stuff because it is done to me all the time, but consider this a test of the process.
And yes, I am grateful I do not mow my lawn with a Vonage phone.

We have a major Honda plant here. They have just banned workers eating snacks at break times to “maintain quality control” (as if a chocolate bar will harm that?)
The workers are going on strike!

@PS3 - take away my chocolate snack and I’d strike too!
