The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development last week urged Kan’s government to at least double a sales tax to 10 percent and to implement increases as soon as possible . Japan’s total public debt will reach 204 percent of gross domestic product this year, according to the OECD, the highest level among nations tracked by the group. Japan maintains its credit grade for now because of a strong financial system, a surplus of funds within the nation and a “diversified” economy, according to S&P.

Glitch developer Tiny Speck raises $11m . I've been interested in The Game Neverending since I first heard about it. Some time later, I learned that it was transitioned into what became Flickr. Tiny Speck are some of the people from the Flickr team; that GNE project was a multiplayer online game where items were shared. One of the things people could share was photos, and that portioned apparently blossomed into something so competent that it could actually be monetized -- the most elusive of Web 2.0 goals to attain! So here they are getting funding, making worlds again. I can't wait to see what this is about!
