Spacetime 3D Search Engine

Probably the coolest search engine ever. Spacetime 3D Search depicts different webpages in scrollable fashion. You can look at the site to see if it is the one you want to visit. Check it out here.

Clark Little

A different way to view a wave. Wow Clark Little is taking photos in a whole new way.

Lost There, Felt Here - Conservation International

Conservation International launched a website to help educate individuals about cutting down the rain forest. While on the site you can scroll around the picture of a jungle, which has been broken into small squares, to reveal different acres that have been protected by different individuals. A beautiful site and for a good cause.

Numa Numa Guy with Gecko

The Martin Agency has jumped on the viral video bandwagon with one of the first viral celebrities. I guess this proves that someone in a viral video could eventually get paid for doing stupid shit.

GOOD: Crocodile Mile (Dirty Version)

A nice awareness piece about the majority of the world needing clean drinking water.

Siftables


The iPhone is the toy for adults, but try using building blocks in a similar way. Kids can learn, create, build, and play with these digital toy blocks. Pretty amazing to see a new way for kids to learn and develop.

O2 - RoboRetirement



Retirement looks extremely boring, even for robots. What we need is for the robots to continue working to make our lives easier. Maybe they could dial the phone for us when we need to complain, or we could program them to call and complain for us to humans. They could keep repeating the wrong words, and saying that they did understand.

P!nk Peta Ad:

They finally took it here.

Eldest Man Meets a New Born Baby - Encounter



Can you guess what this is an ad for? Look closely, or just wait till the end. McCann Erickson/Madrid used a 102 year old man and a new born child to help get across the messaging for ______. It is a little presumptuous to think that this brand is one of the good things in life during these economic hardships, but I guess to each their own.

Loewe - Sound Control



Ah, another choir commercial to describe sound. Not as "innovative" as the Honda Choir, but a playful way to show sound control. I guess it is up to you to find the perfect pitch for your home theater system, just don't put to much emphasis on the balance, or you might lose all of your sound.

Samsung's Projector Phone

It is here, a phone that can be used as a projector. I realize there is a product that plugs into phones and projects images, but this phone actually project onto your hand. I mean that is freaking awesome. Ok, so it might work at longer distances as well, but I think that the hand presentation will sweep across the boardrooms. See the phone in action at the CES here.

Don't break her voice

To show how smooth a ride in a the Mercedes Benz E Class is, Mercedes recorded Dianna Reeves signing in the car as it whips around a driving course. She doesn't miss a beat even with her seat belt fastened. I can't even hit a note standing still and this women should be thrown around a car, except she doesn't even look like she is moving. This is what you call a smooth operator. Check out the site and watch the video here.

Exploratorium


The San Francisco Exploratorium launched a new site, which is filled with quick facts about global warming. Rolling over one of the colorful bubbles reveals the ideas that a group has submitted. The Exploratorium is a great science museum to help teach/show kids a fun way to learn about science. This site also jumps in that direction, by getting the conversation going about global warming. See the site here.

Skitle and Social Media




I guess it is time to talk about Skittles, the idea that was stolen from Modernista's campaign. Skittles decided that it wanted eveyone else to talk about their brand and changed skittle.com to a twitter site with a Skittles navigation bar in the upper left corner. People were able to navigate from one form of social media to another, such as a Skittle Facebook page, YouTube channel, and Flickr group. The problem was, within one day, people started posting profanity on the twitter feed, causing Skittles to change their homepage to their Wikipedia page. You can see what they are doing here.

Pearl Jam Re-Releases Ten


If you are a Pearl Jam fan, they are re-releasing their album Ten. This site is devoted to the album. The site has some really nice functionality with a rotating screen the user can manipulate, as well as descriptions about the extra features that will be on the new release.

Aero - Chocolate Bubbles


Biting into chocolate...a pool filled with brown floating things....riding through them and watching the brown floating things fly all over the screen...definitely makes me want a candy bar.
