Turtles Go Wireless

neutron_p writes "Ground-breaking work to investigate the migratory movements of marine turtles in the UK Overseas Territories began on the Caribbean "Emerald Isle" of Montserrat this week. Staff from Government of Montserrat attached a satellite transmitter to 'Montserrat', a 150kg green turtle, which will enable her migratory movements to be logged from space and followed live on the internet at http://seaturtle.org/tracking/ Since leaving Montserrat's shores she has already passed through the waters of St Kitts and Nevis but where will she stop? Picture is here."

    I noticed a trend today...
    Deepest Optical Image Of The Universe To Date links to a Physorg.com story
    When Galaxies Collide links to a Physorg.com story
    This story links to a Physorg.com story.
    That's three posts that links to Physorg.com in nine hours. The site apparently was created in March of this year. They're all interesting stories, but it just seems a little odd that there are three in less than half a day...
