Awesome App Store Hyperwall
I wish I'd been there, because this visualization of the App Store is pretty friggin' cool. What you see below is just a subset of the actual spectacle: twenty 30" cinema displays with a chromatic array of App Store icons.

bit.ly launched today
I found out from a quick @marshallk tweet that bit.ly launched today. I have been using Tweetburner almost exclusively for the last few months. It’s been fabulous, but I have been experiencing some lost stats and some serious latency of late, leaving me looking for more. Things that I find very attractive about bit.ly: click [...]

ROSHAMBULL – the first promo type FB app that I have been impressed by
The instant I saw RedBull ROSHAMBULL, I was all over it. In part because I am a loyal RedBull brand lover. In part because it seemed like I might have a better chance of winning than in Scrabulous, where I keep getting my can handed to me. Ultimately, I think this is a great brand [...]
New goings on…
I just started working on research around a new microformat based on trade transactions. Why do we need a trade microformat, you ask? Umm, because interoperability between financial systems on the front end does not exist. Data gets parsed all over the map into varying proprietary formats. All of these are human readable, but none [...]
