Just a quick post before we creep into 2010. 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.

Our newest piece of work for Epson was uploaded onto youtube last night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9sXhYlIfRY Huge thanks to Charles, Hanja, Haydn, Jamie and Nick. Enjoy.

I read a fascinating article in The Times this morning about a competition run by DARPA (the US military innovation organisation that has invented everything from the early internet to the M16 Assault Rifle and Stealth bombers) to test the power of social networks. The test involved a competition to find ten red balloons tethered in locations across the United States. Rather than me whitter on about it here, read the coverage in CNN. Very interesting, shows that the sum of social media’s parts is greater than the whole of Stephen Fry.
