Find your self

Now this is cool, an aggregator that actually works. Type any term or phrase to see a comprehensive list of its mentions across the web. Fab for research, but even better for checking how often your own name crops up across the net!

Pure genius

October 18th, 2007

This is absolutely brilliant! O2 have set up a group on Facebook called ‘The Battle for the UK’s Favourite University’. This ties in perfectly with their ‘Favourite Place’ campaign and instead of going on about how great O2 is, it is encouraging people to get together and chat about how fantastic their university is, why it’s more fun than others, what’s cool etc. The more Facebook activity a uni has, the more points it earns. The uni with the most points at the end of it will win a £50k party. Currently there are 75,814 members, with 1,203 discussion topics and 2,651 wall posts. You need to have a facebook profile to look at it but if you have one, check it out here. So simple, yet so clever. Come on Exeter!!

neat menu

The ever fruitful Stumble turned up this rather smart polish site: Sadowski with some neat tree menu ideas. Good for a quick 5 minutes of WILFing. The Christmas cards from a bank being a particularly good example.

Music discovery2

We are in the middle of development of a fairly epic new music application. Apart from some fairly nail biting deadlines all is coming along sweetly -thanks in no small part to a bunch of very bright folks in South Africa doing the programming. One rather cool by product has been finding loads of other groups working on similar types of ideas. Just come across one llama fun to use with some nice quirks. Only grumble is its range of UK bands is a bit poor.
