I have added a new feed to my blog, due to the Royal Academy of Engineering, UK. (RAE).
Newly connected to the Academy (RAE) via the professional network Linkedin, I revisited their site with even more enthusiasm upon learning of the EBE-Environmentally Benign Engineering work of Prof Stephan Salter who appears to have adopted my native Scotland and its "eastern capital" Edinburgh where he chose to live and work as long ago as 1973, leaving his native South Africa.
Here is a short introduction from the RAE site dated 24 July 2012:

The WebMii Score is the online visibility score for individuals [People by name], [People by key word] and/or [companies and brands] The higher your WebMii Score is, the more you are visible on the net. Rank is indicated on a scale 0 to 10. The higher the score the more visible are you, your company or brand.
For example this blog, my blog brand as I write scores 2.0 out of 10
(cf Einstein's score of 8.3)
but incredibly in the Internet age, Tim Berners-Lee considered to be the inventor of the Internet scores 7.7!
There is certainly room for progress here!
