New Barbarian Group Site

I just caught wind that Barbarian Group launched their new site. Bottomline, I love it. They've done an incredible job with the openess and transparency of copy and content. Check out their detailed description of their new business process, the description of their project teams and their very detailed interactive glossary. I also think they've brought interesting solutions to corporate blog publishing, as well as their tagging of content to give various access into content. The Information Architecture is super solid as well. I'm going to have to marinate on it a bit, but this could be my favorite interactive agency site.

A new friend of mine- Drop.io

If you need to quick way to get large files transfered to other people try Drop.io. This is a very simple and useful file sharing service where you can drop files where others can download. You can password protect your drops or hide them via "security by obscurity". The interface is super simple with a number of nice-to-have bells and whistles.

Twitter Mashup

I'm not sure who has the time for Twitter, but this is a pretty cool mashup that gives it geographic context. www.twittervision.com

Blog Spawn

And we're off...

It's interesting the thoughts I have on what my grand entrance to the blogosphere should entail... I guess since I'm probably around the 84,534th blog created today this isn't much of a todo. Just another spore waiting to germinate. So, I decided to do a little aggregation...

Anywho...there is a very intersting ariticle in the NY Times today about a Chinese entrepreneur who is refusing to sell-out and relinquish her home to developers. There is a must-see picture of the home sitting on a elevated island surrounded by an enormous escavation pit. In the past this property would have been demolished long ago, but the owner has generated enough public awareness through the media and blogosphere that it still stands. It goes without saying but in the media age we live in, individuals can generate a tremendous amount of noise with a very small voice.
