If you don’t use del.icio.us, start. Now.
OK, now you’ve started, before you get too carried away, read this article: The Several Habits of Wildly Successful del.icio.us Users » Slacker Manager.
There’s so many powerful uses for this amazing application. One I’ve just started is to track research on given topics – then it’s really simple for [...]
BannerBlog.com.au : Where Banners Click – nice site from Australialand. A regularly updated feast of online advertising with contributers from lots of agencies around the world (including Poke’s very own Tobie Cameron).
Compare and contrast: French Connection’s new advert is not a million miles away from this pop video from last year (damn, that song is really really bad!).
Thanks to Emil for the tip – came up in an IM conversation about originality in ideas.
Update: Song is by GrooveCutters (sorry guys, the track’s just not my thing), [...]
Funnily enough a second post about an AKQA piece of work in one day, they must be doing something right. And in this case they really are: Run London – RouteFinder. An extension of the undoubtedly great brand property Run London, this time a trendy mash-up with Google maps.
But this isn’t just a fashionable me-too, [...]

As the Diablogue guys say there’s some sweet moments in there. But I can’t help but feel that this is just a load of nice little ads glued together [...]
BBC news reports on this rather odd story from the US. A judge in the States has ruled that Google have violated the copyright of Perfect 10 magazine (a high end ‘adult’ title). The violation results from the fact that Google shows thumbnails from the magazine on their image search site.
The only upside for Google [...]
I get why MySpace is popular, but I don’t get why it should be 30 million people popular. So I was happy to read this article by Danah Boyd at the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
It’s a rough transcript of a really well considered talk on the nature of spaces (public, private, [...]
OK, OK, it shouldn’t be a surprise that I managed to read a book. I can read, and I like reading. But so often I start with great intentions; I order a book from Amazon (or heaven forbid pick one up in a real bookshop). I tuck into it with great enthusiasm. But then about [...]
I ran into these the other day on the ThinkGeek site. Giant Robot Stickers. I thought they were pretty special. So I did a bit of digging around and found that they make loads of cool removable wall stickers. Blik is the name of the company. I’ll let you know how I get on…
Simple, cheap and pretty. These LED Throwies stick to any metal surface and make it look pretty. Can imagine some really nice interactive type applications with these at the core. Check the video at the Graffiti Research Lab (their re-use of Jose Gonzales made me smile).
Only downside, someone’s got to clean up the mess…
