A Monument In Time
I've never been as enthralled by a website as I am by "A Moment in Time," a virtual venture by The New York Times Lens that is equal parts photo series, interactive art gallery, and crowdsource experiment. Everyone will find something to love in this treasure trove [...]
5 Online Resources You NEED To Be Using
The following websites are a curated selection based on hours of web time spent in ways not quite as useful.
In an evermore complicated internet landscape of blogs, vlogs, networks, and languages, these sites will actually simplify your life. Amen.
Check them out for yourself:

CreativeLIVE: Give FREE a Chance
Remember all those times you thought and/or said, "if art school wasn't so expensive, I would totally be the next (insert famous artist here)?" Well, you officially have no more excuses.
VOD: create your own Google Search Story
Google’s Search Stories campaign turned mundane search into a charming story telling device. You probably saw “Parisian Love” during the Super Bowl, and now you can create your own Search Story with a simple tool on Youtube. It’s a pretty cool interactive twist– see what you can do with it…

Parisian Love
Link Dump – Wednesday, March 31st
Here are some interesting internet things which have captured our imaginations today:
BrandKarma is an open forum to tell brands what you think of them. via PSFK

NY Times dropped a phenomenally interesting story about the changing [...]
the new music videos: interview with isaac ravishankara
Isaac Ravishankara and I go way back to “film school,”* so it’s been exciting to watch his visually dynamic, often hilarious music videos popping up all over—most recently at the MTV VMAs. I caught up with him to chat about indie vs. big budget production, the DSLR “revolution,” and music video distribution models. You know, [...]
VOTD: nailing every tech entrepreneur cliché
“You should follow me cuz I’m friends with Ashton” raps the New Dork, waving a copy of Fast Company with Ashton Kutcher on the cover (the same issue that floated around our old office for months). This viral Empire State of Mind parody nails pretty much every San Francisco tech entrepreneur cliché– it’s like bingo [...]
Pasta, a brew, and some Chat Roulette
Ok, I’ll admit it, I’m obsessed with CR. Before we started Urgent Content, the Bonrz crew (@faketv, @henrygoldman, @bjstein, and yours truly @the_bg) were contemplating a potential dating site idea… We went so far as to review the thesis of and meet with the author of a major paper on online dating and then subject [...]
Hyper Local YouTube Stars
As I stepped out of my home on Saturday to a beautiful day, I smiled at the USPS delivery lady who was approaching me with mail in hand. My smile was topped by her shit eating grin, which was confounding, mail delivery people hadn’t been this nice since the 60’s.
“You’re laughing at me, aren’t you?” [...]
Youtube Seeks to Emphasize Recommendations, Continuous Play
Potential re-design of Youtube, from this NYTIMES article.
Key quote:
“Our average user spends 15 minutes a day on the site,” he said. “They spend about five hours in front of the television. People say, ‘YouTube is so big,’ but I really see that we have a ways to go.”
To that end, Mr. Walk leads a team [...]
We Are ALL Digital Curators
A List Apart has a fantastic recent post on The Content Strategist as Digital Curator, which I highly recommend checking it out. The writer, Erin Scime has some excellent points on how companies with deep content libraries need to dig deep to find meaningful ways to repurpose the content in new forms. The post also [...]
Still Waiting For The Internet to Kill TV
Ever since I got into new media, in the wild-west days of 2005, when the hottest story was Myspace being acquired by News Corp. and sites like MetaCafe and Veoh still thought they had a shot to usurp Youtube as the king of online video, people have been saying that the internet was on the [...]
I'll tell you one thing I like about Soulja Boy Tell'Em…
….His whole entourage looks like they’re 12.

1st SPAM comment on the blog! wo0t
will somebody please get to the bottome of this comment here… it’s origins in some clandestine clan of russian mafia nerds.
I used to mash my parents volvo to this song
so it gets points for that. But overall, this is just a dope overview of the changes we’ve all experienced, but haven’t noted the significance of…
Interesting way to track bands popularity online
So I recently got wise to a new school way to track the popularity of artists. Next Big Sound, a startup that allows you to track musicians popularity based on the amount of views, plays and comments their profiles/songs get on like MySpace,Twitter and Last.fm. I always wonder if the music I’m feeling is [...]
