BBC's Bloom

I have just been playing with the BBC's Bloom application, and like their pest identifier its suprisingly good!

Its a similar concept in that you answer quesions on various topics and it gives you solutions to save money/the environment, whilst allowing you to compare how much carbon etc you could save.

Its a bit tricky to get the hang of to start with, but well worth persevering with:

BBC - Climate Change - Bloom - Carbon Cutting Action Planner

What do you think?

And for all you techies out there, there's an article in last month's .NET magazine about how it was designed :-)
