Following on from the post about URLs out, searches in.
According to Ad Week: W+K in NY have hired a search dude (By the way I’m not suggesting a causal relation between my blog post and the hiring before anyone thinks I’m being a total knob).
Search is something so deeply ingrained in most peoples’ online [...]
I feel bad posting bad stuff about Adobe being as they’ve just launched 2 really cool things:
Buzzword.com is an amazing online word processor (the export functions are dead tight and you could almost survive without MS Word), and Photoshop Express (the free online Photoshop version) is pretty cool as well.
So those are good things. [...]
Everyone seems to be Muxtaping today.
They’re calling it the easy way to create and share mixtapes. And it is. You just upload your tracks and it puts them together in a nice webpage where people can just click to listen.
They’ve got a blog here: http://muxtape.tumblr.com/.
37 Signals bigged it up so it’s being hammered at the [...]

Why did I get this? [...]
Sophie’s brother introduced me to the work of Larry Carlson yesterday. Half of me wishes he hadn’t.
It’s like a portal into a strange dimension that makes you feel kind of odd. But you can’t help sticking around to see what happens next.
The flash animations on his site are absolutely amazing.
Not sure how safe [...]
Brilliantly simple.
We’ve all had those moments when a site’s not working. And you wonder, is it down for everyone or just me? http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

You enter a URL and it tells you.

I did do a double take on the Google ad served up in the bottom right of the results page though! Yowza!
I’ve always wanted to see a safe fall out of a window (like in the cartoons).
This morning as I was walking down Commercial Street I saw a safe lying on the pavement!
I don’t think it can have fallen out of a window. And the pallet sitting next to it would suggest that the [...]
