Mobile - Ikea kiosk

The Ikea store in Seattle installed an interactive kiosk that allows customers to access coupons and information on their weekly specials through text messages or by scanning barcodes with their mobile phone.

Brilliant idea and great 1-2-1 initiative - Customers will receive regular updates on the latest news and sales when they leave the store.

Web 2.0 - Blog post Life cycle

I came across this great article on Wired sometime back, but never had the chance to share it - I was reminded of its existence while browsing on Suffian's *very* neat blog.

Everything you always wanted to know about the life cycle of a blog post is explained in a crisp interactive presentation :)
Have a closer look here.

I wish there were a printable version of it, I wouldn't mind having it as an A3 poster. Enjoy!

Random - Magic number #20

2000 visitors on my blog might not seem like a big number compared to others, but I find it very exciting.

And what is much more exciting than the number itself, is the fact that the visitor #2000 is someone from ... Twitter! - I'm happy.

Information Design - Web Trend map 2008

The Japanese agency IA is back with a vengeance, releasing the 2008 beta version of their -now *very famous* - web trend map.

In their own words: "This time we’ve taken almost 300 of the most influential and successful websites and pinned them down to the greater Tokyo-area train map".

It is definitely as interesting if not richer than the one published in 2007, but I wonder why the list is missing Wikia, Seesmic and Qik - will drop them a note about it.
