Die Grafik Had an amazing night at the Netd@ys Austria Dialogue Night 2008 in the Red Bull Hangar7 yesterday. 10 nominees in both categories (web and video) were tensely awaiting who’s going to be the winner in each category. Great showacts underlined the whole evening. (e.g. Thomas Öhler | Trialbiker, Red Bull)

I was even more suprised and glad when the speaker announced that my web project “Facebook Application – Intercultural” is the winner…

A post with more details and a photo-gallery will follow in the next days!

Twistori

A few days ago I found a nice twitter-experiment on Facebook’s feed (thanks Nate!), called Twistori.Its actually quite simply. It’s drawing data from Summize (The Twitter Search in realtime) searching for sentences starting with “I love, hate, think, wish, feel, …” and displaying them in a nicely designed and java-script-animated website. (at first sight I thought this must be flash, because of the font-rendering and the smooth animations, but well yeah it’s JS)

I really like the idea, and for some people this might be a kinda funny way of pastime :) But that’s only the first step of the experiment, lets see what’s coming next!

Furthermore this shows that there is a lot of potential using Twitter messages outside of Twitter. How about displaying them on a brand’s website displaying only messages containing the brand’s name … but well yeah you kinda should filter out bad words to avoid displaying messages that you don’t want to show up.
