Founders Maarten Blokdijk and Eric van den Berg from The Hague , say they were influenced by Al Gore’s "wake-up call" when he released his film An Inconvenient Truth. Blokdijk has an IT company specializing in Web 2.0 and content management solutions while van den Berg is an environmental campaigner. A quick look at the site shows that it appears to have been seeded with links to about 200 articles on environmental issues. It is not exactly clear if the voting system is working properly yet because the few articles with a number of votes are sitting on latter pages rather than near the front. It remains to be seen whether a single issue site like Climezine.com can garner enough interest to flourish or whether established sites like Digg, which has an environment stream, already services the market sufficiently. |
