The State Of The Internet
Focus have cobbled together a nice-looking infographic on the current state of the intertubes. Not sure if it’s just for the US, but it looks nice anyway.
And in case anyone was wondering, we’d describe our blogging style as “journalistic” (ahem).
The World’s Biggest Signpost
Nifty mapping work for Nokia by Sweden’s Farfar.
Farfar better than Google Maps’ campaign (or lack of it thereof).
Cocaine - Know The Score
Not wanting to blow trumpets, but we’re particularly proud of the artwork for a recent anti-cocaine campaign. The creative team behind it was Chris Scott and David Grenfell.

Blip Together
Creating a mass online movement is far easily said than done. But not for local Leith start-up and recent Scottish Bafta award winners Blipfoto, whose simple photo-a-day blog has captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world. And even more so with a recent mass photo campaign driven by its members.
A single post from a member (inspired by another member Twigs) proposed that for the next few days people post pictures of their arms outstretched, to join into a giant chain of fellow blippers. The response was overwhelming, with over 1000 submissions in a few days, an app to display them, a local event in Edinburgh at InSpace and global streaming across the web.
A simple idea, a bit of creativity, some easy-to-use tech and an inspired community - blipping awesome. And a great example of how customers / clients / members / users / real people are often the greatest sources of innovation inspiration.
