I am trying to simple visit the site and follow the event. Using Firefox I am alerted that lots of features are reserved only to Internet Explorer users. If I switch to Linux. I cannot neither access the live concerts at all.
Nice job, whoever organized this. It's easy to preach about being efficient and then all you got is an extremely inefficient way to broadcast it. Was it so difficult to use a normal stream that anybody, with any computer could access?
1. This events Carbon Footprint will be more lasting than its message, and forget the Carbon Offsets. They are fiction. It defeated its own purpose.
2. Rock Concerts are passé and their affect is minimal because they are no longer a novelty.
3. If they are as technology savvy as they profess, they would have produced the event virtually and then broadcast it to the masses on universal avenues and not proprietary MSN. Gore got misled on this one. It could have been so much more than it was, is.
4. I haven't heard a thing about this until the 4 a.m. (MDT) BBC News. And I am all over the Net. I think it's great they were able to get all the celebrities, but they had to be notified. Not a whole lot of pre-event advertising. I have seen Gore on the news a lot lately and not a word about this.
This could have been so much better and made so much more effective. Gore says that he is over politics. Well it looks like that was the driving force behind this for all involved. Especially the producers that needed their 15 minutes at the expense of the cause.
Thank you for killing the message. Hope you enjoy your short lived notoriety.
Just more of Al Gore's "Do as I say - Not as I do" mentality. And the greenies will whine "But he trades carbon credits!". That's like saying "Well, I might kill kittens but I contribute money to the humane society every year - It's the message that counts"
I don't follow Al Gore and I am also on the net all the time - reading tech news and such.
Never heard a thing about this until this morning. Sounds like it was run out of someone's garage. No thought to anything other than IE/MSN - bad idea. Obviously money and politics is involved here.

Tor's "obfsproxy" technology would make encrypted data look innocuous and let it dodge government censors. That could help citizens in Iran reach blocked sites as antigovernment protests reportedly loom.
MIT creates a simulation to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Spacewar. A relic of the early days of minicomputers, it was one of the first computer video games and set the stage for many others, including Asteroids.

So obviously he knows exactly how to reach lots of people by going through MSN and IE only.
