The people at dipity.com have created this timeline of Internet memes. It's great fun, visually chronicling every Internet meme from the dancing baby to lip dub and beyond.

Because by doing so the UN and others such as the Nike Foundadtion believe we can change the world. It's a very compelling argument and a very compelling campaign (which is why we're talking about it here).

Nike have a new UGC / community marketing orientated campaign - we all get to go on a YouTube channel and define what we see a 'courage' by uploading a video. It gets mixed up with a Killer track et voila - a stiring campaign full of emotional content. At the end of it all we're not sure what we know about Nike but we sure fancy some snazzy trainers with a big old tick on 'em. See what they're up to here.

Great news. We've won the digital brief for Cabwise. The job is to integrate Cabwise's current standalone website into TFL's existing site, and alongside this, create campaigns to promote the service. Campaign reported it here.

Mike Wesch is an anthroologist. He's the guy who wrote the presentation you may have seen The Machine is Us/ing Us. If you haven't seen that, then start here to watch it. It's an inspirational five minutes in which he explains the gist of web 2.0-y-ness and amply demonstrates just how entertaining presentations can be. But the point of this post is to alert you to a one hour presentation he's done on the anthropology of You Tube. In the presentaton he reviews not only why tubers "tube", but looks at how this phenomenon is at the intersection of some crucial trends in our society that are changing what "society" means. It's an hour long, so get a coffee - and be warned, you'll want to watch it again, and maybe again after that.

Don't you just love crazy apps like this one. You type a message and the app "sings" it based on pulling words from loads of different songs. Marvellous. A thing of beauty and joy. Here's a little message for you.

Adaptive Path have created Aurora, a concept browser (well, this is just a concept of what the concept would be ...) for Mozilla Labs. It's a glimpse into a possible future for our browsing experience and picks up on some themes (some more subtly than others) such as the merging of the desktop and browser, cloud computing and the blurring of the lines as to your machine vs the machine and where data and apps are stored and a whole bunch of other goodies. Very exciting stuff.
