Looks very cool, but it’s windoze only … still should be light enough to run in Parallels

Seems like they shifted their business model from what they were a few years ago…

Neat stuff. I like the gesture controls … it’s only a matter of time before we get a Wii-mote / iPhone hybrid.

Loz is trying these guys to have a dedicated server… but it needs to be worth £600/yr

Neat idea … too much work tho — why don’t they just release an official version that does this.

50 Social Sites That Every Business Needs a Presence on

Yes.

Someone’s been reading “Super Crunchers” … here’s the concept that the wisdom of crowds can predict markets or events with pretty good accuracy if the sampling size is large and diverse enough.

Ah asserta … you were years ahead of your time.

Nice. Although not sure I agree that you should have to zoom in for something like weather — which most people only have a casual interest in. The analysis of the stocks page is good however, as most people tracking stocks probably want more detail.

Obama definitely seems to be owning the new media crowd. Unfortunate naming though — sounds like an insult: You Bama! … I would have gone for Yo’ Bama … but I can see why that might cause other problems.

A camera with face recognition and smile detection. Maybe the next release will filter out the Fugly.

Web 2.0 directory, but seems to have an agenda of not promoting the leading sites … for instance why is Flickr buried somewhere in the directory? Would give them more credibility if they started with the winners.

More research in opposition to Tipping Point, Infuencer/Influenced theories.

Now this is cool. Cinema meets amusement park.

Leading German social network

Flow’s got a blog.

the UNEP/GRID-Arendal Maps and Graphics library

The much-hyped service, with 25 million songs available to download for free

Create Ajax facebook apps … however … i’m not sure which tubes you plug into which spigot to make it go

It’s like Wikipedia for Dummies crossed with Digg. Neat concept, but I can’t see it going very far.

TV listing aggregator and listing provider

New mmorpg in closed beta

A friendlier Bug Tracker … with a similar design philosopy as Basecamp

version control for the masses

Seems to be a lot of jabber about jabber these days.

Starts off with some nice examples of information visualisation, and designing for data. Essay loses some steam at the end as he points out the importance of information design, especially when designing for websites. Um… yeah.

Using game mechanics to make more compelling interactive experiences

Forget the device … give me the ebooks.

Good, thorough study. Did a similar study, but we couldn’t publish ours.

Gino’s new gig

Jones had this in 2000 with ‘Pieces of me’ … ah well.

An iGoogle theme by John Maeda

Social network centred around debates / polls.

Could be used for a sitemap, i suppose

This should have been a DesignOnDVD release

Neat concept. Would rather they dropped it in a Queue and emailed me with the download link though.
