Jim Wolff, man
Delicious digital morsels served on a crisp bed of verbiage, sprinkled with freshly picked links and lashings of multimedia goodness. Occasionally.

Coke’s Brand Strategy for 2020
:: In spite of all the wanky marketing guff, this is actually a pretty nice way of summing up how Coca-Cola plans to talk to their customers, plug in to social spaces, and embrace new technologies.
Beats joining a weird cult and staring doe-eyed into the distance.
Location-Aware Music App Plays A Soundtrack For Central Park
:: Great bit of music creation and geo-location app tinkering by musical brother duo Bluebrain. Another reason / excuse to go to New York on the list.
How The Real World Feels About The Digital World
:: A neat infographical overview about the Digital Life research carried out by TNS Global. Apparently other people use the Internet too.
The UK’s Top Digital Trends vs Tomorrow’s
It was a surprise for me, but according to the excellent Digital Life research study by TNS, the UK digital audience spend more time Internet Banking than doing anything else online. Probably figuring out how to navigate antiquated banking websites, if my own choice of online banking is anything to go by.
And here’s where the future is …
Location-based services look like the ones to watch, though it’s unclear whether this means more growth for check-in based apps like Foursquare and SCVNGR, or services about locations like Yelp and Qype.
The research also includes a neat segmentation of digital lifestyles, whether brands are well received on social networks, how people comment in different sectors, and the online path to purchase. Well worth a play around on tnsdigitallife.com. Heaps more nuggets of infographical goodness.

Real nice. On the Christmas wish list.
Part instrument. Part light play. Part information design. Esquire invited Hush to design a media installation on behalf of one of its sponsors, Acura. They made people touch, hear and play in unconventional ways. - Hush (via Fast Company)

Spotify Do Apps
:: It was only a matter of time… Soon we’ll get apps within apps within apps, and disappear up our metaphysical appholes. But can’t say I’m not a little bit excited about the prospect.
