The concept is simple, you are randomly connected to other webcam users with the purpose of chatting and if you don’t like what you see you just move on to the next user. This isn’t ground breaking nor very intelligent however it’s attracting and engaging lots of users.
I do want to give a fair warning since some of the users are interacting a bit too much.
Cool new site for the Nike Jumpman shoe. Funny and exciting games, really well-executed. I came in as a solid #1254 on the highscore list. The site is a bit in the same vein as this Swedish recruitment campaign which is also kinda cool.

At New Media Days, I watched a heated discussion about the challenges in the music business today (“Vi vil ha’ Spotify til Danmark“). In many ways the revolution startet with the iPod and therefore it was interesting for me to find a video of Steve Jobs presenting the iPod for the first time at a relatively low-key event. It’s also great to watch his skills and attitude on the stage and the simplicity and logic in the presentation itself.
