Jonathan From Spotify Ruined Your Playlist

http://jonathanfromspotifyruinedyourplaylist.com/ is my favourite website of today. If you don’t know Jonathan from Spotify, he’s the guy who interrupts your listening pleasure with his little adlets.

I’m sure he was forced to do it, so I’m not confident that we should all be picking on him. However, what I love about this site is that I think the level of insults pretty much fit the crime.

But that’s not the reason that I really love the site. The real reason is that it’s driven by Google Docs. That’s how we should all be rolling. Use a Google Spreadsheet as a CMS – that’s how we should be rolling in 2009!

I suggested this to one of our developers a few months ago and he said that I was some kind of fucked-up freakish alien techno-idiot (I think those were his exact words) – having seen this I feel vindicated, marginally.

Samsung Go All Out in Cute Attack

How are you going to show off the big bright screen of your new mobile phone? Use it as the centerpiece in loads of scenes with super-cute animals.

How can it not fail?

They’d be better not having a mega-sucky website that has absolutely no reference to or regard for the thing you’ve just been sucked into using aaaah-trickery: http://ultratouch.samsungmobile.com/

And I don’t like the inbetweeny bits much either. But I do respect their total lack of shame in playing the cute card so blatanly though.

Are We Bored Of URL Questions Yet?

My new site:

Sorry but I had to. I enjoyed them while it lasted. But time’s up.

Thanks Keith for the mail about a couple of them earlier in the week.

If anyone’s got any more crackers I’ve missed can you leave them in the comments below…

Recession Blocker

Simple, but not really all that useful. Stick in your favourite news website and it’ll block out words like loss, crash, etc. Here’s what it does to the Guardian…

Try it out for yourself…

Is It Broken?

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/
answers the question for you.

You enter a URL and it tells you.

Smashing.

I did do a double take on the Google ad served up in the bottom right of the results page though! Yowza!
