If you got an iPadW you must, I repeat MUST, download Flipboard. This is a social (and I mean social) magazine which aggregates content your friends share via TwitterW and FacebookW, but also from sites like BoingBoingW and The OnionW in an extremely nice design. I think the concept and execution it is quite brilliant. A very high “Why didn’t I think of this?”

Google Chrome Fastball; an interactive social game
Nautic3l
Balls away!
GoogleW surprises again with a nice interactive viral for their webbrowser ChromeW. In Google Chrome Fastball, you have to solve puzzles with the help of online products, like TwitterW Last FMW and Google SearchW. This is all built within a custom YouTubeW site. In between the puzzles there is a cool clip of an iron ball going around a parcours of obstacles.. Just check it out. I like the mechanics, but couldn’t do a proper test if Chrome would better/faster then other browsers, because of an overwhelming response, the site is now down. So if you get the chance, check it out!
