They've done an incredible job with the openess and transparency of copy and content. Check out their detailed description of &lt;a href="http://www.barbariangroup.com/working_with_us/the_new_biz_process"&gt;their new business process&lt;/a&gt;, the description of their &lt;a href="http://www.barbariangroup.com/working_with_us/the_project_team_who_does_what"&gt;project teams&lt;/a&gt; and their very detailed &lt;a href="http://www.barbariangroup.com/working_with_us/an_interactive_advertising_glossary"&gt;interactive glossary.&lt;/a&gt;  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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="file:///Users/andy/Desktop/Picture%203.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://barbariangroup.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_lY2tojBDy8A/SAk_9rsgtkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/rOgV9c5m_LM/s320/Picture+3.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190750374455195202" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/273317543537769926-702207302437545501?l=checkeredpresent.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://checkeredpresent.blogspot.com/feeds/702207302437545501/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=273317543537769926&amp;postID=702207302437545501' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/273317543537769926/posts/default/702207302437545501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/273317543537769926/posts/default/702207302437545501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://checkeredpresent.blogspot.com/2008/04/new-barbarian-group-site.html' title='New Barbarian Group Site'/><author><name>Andy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13012929364636041673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_lY2tojBDy8A/SAk_9rsgtkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/rOgV9c5m_LM/s72-c/Picture+3.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273317543537769926.post-5976569776336711962</id><published>2008-04-10T21:22:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-10T21:30:20.826-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FTP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='File-sharing'/><title type='text'>A new friend of mine- Drop.io</title><content type='html'>If you need to quick way to get large files transfered to other people try &lt;a href="http://drop.io"&gt;Drop.io&lt;/a&gt;.

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...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anywho...there is a very intersting &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/27/world/asia/27china.html"&gt;ariticle&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/273317543537769926-7911919306738677084?l=checkeredpresent.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://checkeredpresent.blogspot.com/feeds/7911919306738677084/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=273317543537769926&amp;postID=7911919306738677084' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/273317543537769926/posts/default/7911919306738677084'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/273317543537769926/posts/default/7911919306738677084'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://checkeredpresent.blogspot.com/2007/03/blog-spawn_27.html' title='Blog Spawn'/><author><name>Andy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13012929364636041673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
