Egyptian online activists, who claim not to be politically alligned, have set up a website named "Morsi Meter" to ensure that their newly elected president stays in line with his election promises.

The website claims to be launched in order to track Mohammed Morsi's first 100 days in office and includes two meters, one counting the days of his presidency and the other counting which of his 64 election promises he has fulfilled. Since Mursi has not yet taken office, both counters currently read "0".

A Facebook page has also been created with the same name in order to publicise the website and allow users to interact with updates to the site. The idea has already gained recognition with tens of thousands of "likes" on Facebook. This can perhaps be attributed to the activist Wael Ghonim, who tweeted the website to his 500,000 followers.

The benefits the service provides have also been praised by the blogger Wessam el-Beih, who tweeted that the "Morsi Meter is an excellent initiative to promote accountability".

Quote of the Day - Regarding Gareth Williams, “The world was ours for the taking.”. There's a rumour going around that Gareth may of had some sort of a last covert mission with 'Dolly the Sheep', prior to his demise, but it hasn't been fully substantiated! Apparently Alex Chapman didn't know about this covert relationship, but he may have Saw(ers) alot! Ronan Summers definitely didn't have anything to do with it, even though he loves to drink Tenets! We all love Wiltshire (Porton Down) more than Gloucestershire (GCHQ), even more so then Worcestershire (RSRE). Military Radiations Signals Intelligence always use to do 'his head in', especially when using ELF or VLF frequencies, impacting directly on the 'Neural Oscillations' of the Central Nervous System. But taking a 'Nano-Medicine' Paracetamol takes the head to a new level of game play, I'll assure you of that! Nothing to do with BCI, RNM, Synthetic Telepathy ... that would REALLY BE MAD!!! An odd thought shared ... the illegal "watching over" in our individual 'castles' of this beloved Britannia, while entertaining Babar Pappa.
