LOLWRUS - Twitter + Flickr →
You may be familiar with LOLCATs, or maybe know someone who is. The LOLWRUS lets you make your own, by matching your Twitter tweets with a picture from Flickr, resulting in a new picture that may or may not be hilarious. Then, you can do all sorts of ridiculous things, like look at other people’s pictures.

The Paragraph in Web Typography & Design — Jon Tan... →
Paragraphs are punctuation, the punctuation of ideas. After selecting a typeface, choosing the right paragraph style is one of the cornerstones of good typography. This is a brief inquiry into paragraph style for the Web.
The Great Label Debate →
Pick up a standard chicken in most supermarkets and the package is unlikely to tell you much about how that chicken was produced. Around 90% of chickens in the UK are farmed in intensive systems in conditions like those shown in the video here.
By law, egg boxes must be labelled with the farming method and this has decreased sales of battery eggs. So why can’t chicken be honestly labelled...

Boarding - Find stranded travelers! →
Spending to much time at the airport? Boarding helps you find other stranded travelers by simply tweeting #boarding along with your airport code (LAX, JFK, CDG, …). Therefore, Boarding will send you a reply with a link to the other Twitter users who you can message directly to meet up with.
Part of me says “Hey, fun” the other part goes “Hello psycho stalkers”
Phishing Fools? - Lachstock →
This morning, Flickr released a new feature. One that let’s you find your friends from your existing address books on Yahoo! Mail, Gmail and Hotmail. All without providing usernames or passwords. Aren’t APIs wonderful?
I twittered about the new black and got a reply from Amanda asking “isn’t that encouraging people to get phished?”.
In a nutshell, the answer is yes.
Super...

Tweetree - Birds in a tree. →
Tweetree puts your Twitter stream in a tree so you can see the posts people are replying to in context. It also pulls in lots of external content like twitpic photos, youtube videos and more, so that you can see them right in your stream without having to click through every link your friends post.
You had me at “tree”. :P
The Five Dollar Comparison →
To explore the relative value of five dollars we are collecting examples from around the world by asking people to submit photos of objects or services that cost the equivalent of $5.
Nice idea, but could get really skewed i.e. if you went mad in Poundland in the UK, that would hardly be typical.

I was completely oblivious of this Twitter support feature! Doh.

Tumblr Themes vs. Theme Garden
Tumblr v.5 introduces the Theme Garden. It does what Tumblr Themes tried to do, but better. If you’ve made a theme you’ve submitted here, you should submit it there too, and if you’ve made a theme you haven’t submitted here, you shouldn’t bother with Tumblr Themes, just submit it to the Garden. If you’re looking for a theme, this is probably still the most extensive repository, at least for a...
