In what country is the official Twitter account maintained by ordinary citizens, replacing each other?

Sweden's official Twitter account is not maintained by government officials or secretaries. Instead, internet users who are Swedish nationals rotate each other every week, accessing publications on behalf of @sweden.

The owner of the account is free to write ideas and opinions not only about politics or national events, but also about the life of an ordinary person, make retweets, and conduct dialogues with subscribers.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

 Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why did the Van Halen band in their rider demand M&M's but take away all the browns?

American hard rock band Van Halen went on tour with a lot of stage equipment, as their shows were among the most technically demanding and full of special effects. As a group rider, one of the requirements was to put a plate of M&M's on the table in the dressing room, from which all browns must be removed. This point was explained not at all by the increased capriciousness of the rockers - if the concert organizers did not fulfill the requirement for M&M's, this indicated their inattentive attitude to the details of the rider. This means that his other points could have been ignored, which could create problems with the quality of the show and its safety.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The popularity of ultraportable laptops is growing 29.03.2008

The biggest players in the notebook market, Asus and HP, have already introduced their ultraportable models; Acer, MSI and Dell are preparing to announce similar devices. Due to the popularity of compact solutions, analysts expect strong demand for 8,9-inch displays, which are most often used in ultraportable notebooks.

The problem is that this demand may not be met. So far, only Chunghwa Picture Tubes (CPT) and AU Optronics (AUO) are producing matrices with the necessary characteristics using low-cost technology. However, market leaders (Samsung, LG, for example) will launch such production only in 2-3 quarters of this year.

Manufacturers have set high standards for sales of Eee laptops. So, Asus, Dell and HP intend to sell about 3 million units this year, and Acer about 5 million.
