Trendsmap puts trends on the map
Nice Twitter & Google Maps mash-up that adds another dimention to trending. We'd love to see a bit more action once you focus on smaller cities, towns and even countries but loving the UI and overall execution.

Augmented Reality Tube Finder
Very nice use of the iPhone 3GS' compass on this navigation app that finds (and points to) tube/metro stations in your vicinity. Seems like the BBC is really roling with the "augmented reality" moniker and you'll hear it way too many times in this three minute video but don't let it distract you fr …

Palm Pre Emulator Videos
Were pretty excited about the imminent launch of the Palm Pre. but until we officially get our hands on one weve been enjoying these screencasts taken via the WebOS emulator. While its hard to get a good feel of the phone without multitouch the videos go into quite a lot of detail on most features.

Nice little product page for the new 2010 Toyota Prius. Still not sure about the cars stylings but I love the animated infographics. I hear it also made The FWAs site of the day.

Hollywood goes open source, sort of
I recently saw J.J. Abrams talk on TED, and was literally woken up to a reality of the future which, ironically enough, is happening now. At some point he mentions that film making is now open for anyone who wants to do it. It no longer has to be done in studios and wrapped up in tremendous budget …

Google's New Product Logos
Looks like Google is cleaning up its act and getting their product logos standardized. While I love the fact that Google has fun with its brand the previous format of having a small product name applied wherever it fit below the logo always felt a bit random. No big change but an important one.

Wireframing ahoy!
Wireframes are the foundation of a design before it even starts to formulate with colors, shapes and forms. And even if some of us find them ugly, or a waste of time yeah, Ive heard that too there is always the greater part among us that find them extraordinarily useful, amazingly beautiful, and s …

PicFog, Real-time Image Search
Having fun trying out random queries on PicFog (such as this one) as always, services built around Twitters real-time content are a great fun but can also be used for useful research or insight into whats happening around you. But lets face, most will probably use it for stuff like this.

Twitter Beating Google in Real-Time
Interesting article and accompanying quotes from Googles co-founders on how Twitter is winning the real-time game. Partnership vs buy-out might be in Googles plans: Eric Schmidt says, We do not have to buy everybody to work with them, the whole principle of the Web is people can talk to each other …

Totally Excellent WolframAlpha Easter Eggs
To follow up our previous post about WolframAlphas release heres a collection of 10 pretty neat Easter eggs. Our favourite? 88MPH being the speed the Delorean needed to reach to time travel. Any search engine that references to Back to the Future is fine by us.

WolframAlpha Launches
Stephen Wolfram launches his mathematical search engine WolframAlpha. While the press is calling this the Google-Killer its actually something quite different. Ironically, it does look a lot like Joshua Davis Google redesign.

See the web like Kanye
Kanye West doesnt only like fish sticks he also wears what are arguably the most unpractical sunglasses ever devised (at night & in-doors nonetheless) if you ever wondered what it would feel like browsing the web through his glorious specs this great bookmarklet is what youve been waiting for. Bril …

Facebook App Directory Redesign
Looks like Facebook will be redesigning their application directory with so-called verified apps now getting added prominence. This new paid, premium status will surely shake things up with over fifty thousand (!) apps now on Facebook I can see how many developers might jump at the opportunity of p …

Microsoft's Future Home
The house that built Windows seems to be really adept at telling the world what itll be using in the future. A completely different attitude to Apples which prefers keeping everything a secret until you can actually buy it (compare a Gates keynote to a Jobs one to see what we mean) with that in min …
