On the 25th of December Christmas Tweets – our twitter visualiser http://www.christmastweets.co.uk/ – achieved the accolade of site of the day on the FWA http://www.thefwa.com. What I love about it is it’s not worthy, it’s a great use of twitter, it looks great and it’s fun. The competition is fierce on the FWA so well done to everyone involved.

While you’re there don’t forget to vote on the people’s choice award http://www.thefwa.com/pca2009/.

Without trying to sway you, I voted for the Soapbox Racer for Red Bull by Less Rain. It’s a lovely idea, beautifully crafted.

Happy New Year.

So I thought I should at least download the little guy and carry him around with me.

Here’s my step by step guide to creating your own credit crunch gift idea for Christmas.

Step One

Go to http://www.christmastweets.co.uk/ and download your own Santa (or one of the other characters – I forget who they are now).

Step 1 Santa on screen

Step Two

Print that bad boy out.

Step 2 Print out Santa

Step Three

Cut Santa out whilst wearing your most festive hat. Mind your fingers kids!

Step 3 Cut out wearing festive hat

Step Four

Fold up your little Santa. No tearing.

Step 4 Fold up Santa

Step Five

Place on Martin “The Hit Man” Hearns’ head. Or any other inanimate object.

Step 5 Place on Martins head

Enjoy!

The presentation shows the ways consumers; brands and Google are using technology to create new ways of engaging and interacting.

Many of the examples in ‘87 Cool Things’ highlight mashups, interactivity, unique data usage, and the fusion of virtual worlds and reality, all in combination with Google tools.

Some great stuff in here: http://bit.ly/87coolthings

It’s interesting to look at these a couple of ways. It’s interesting that only 3 of them could have existed in the 19th century; that 3 of them are digital only, with no physical product and the others many of the others are reliant on the consumer electronic industry, with the good stuff only ocming out in the last 10 years or so. Does cool automatically mean modern for many?
