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

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 C60 - A different kind of music player
The C60 concept was created to bring tangibility to the digital music experience. A card represents a song or a collection of songs. Placement of a card on the C60 table causes the music represented by the card to be played. Multiple cards placed on the table form a clockwise ordered playlist.
Another example (like the Tableau) of how modern gets more modern by going old school. Looking forward to when this comes out in Argos.
100 words about digital branding
:: Some words of wisdom (100 to be precise) about digital branding from Mike Arauz, but it could apply to any brand development, digital or analogue.
Particularly like Being measurable isn’t the same as being worthwhile - though how you measure worth (and whether you’d want to) is a whole new can of worms.
Eleven Digital Trends to Watch in 2011
Some good predictions here from Edelman Digital, especially the probable rise of Transmedia Storytelling (a subject close to my heart) and Viva La Social Website, where companies and brands integrate social features to their websites as standard (“A site without social is like house without a toilet” as someone put it).
Will be interesting to see how the Location, Location, Facebook thing plays out too. Foursquare killer? We’ll see.
The point about Thought Leadership is a good one too. Though as with Digital Curation, making changes to work patterns and sustaining them is the biggest challenge here. Keeping up my resolutions until the end of January would be a result.
Realtime recreation of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Great example of historical content brought to life on the web, with flash, multimedia and social network integration.

Seek n Spell - a social iPhone app using wide open spaces and GPS to spell stuff. Like Scrabble, but in the park.
Now all I need to do is find people rich enough for an iPhone, keen enough to download the game too, and bored enough to spend the afternoon running around a park collecting pretend letters via their phones.
