…is well and truly in full force up here in the studio.

After weeks with frustration navigating around the movember site (which contains our respective “mospaces”) we have ruffled up a link which lets you donate to the group at large:

May the mo be with you.

We’ve been yabbing on a lot recently about micro-blogging and the impact it’s having on various industries. It seems its popularity in the UK is growing and that’s not just down to personal users either.

But the biggest proof of all is the stamp that is left after a global event. Enter the Olympics. 8 is a lucky number in China, and they’re celebrating these games on twitter by applying the tag #080808. How many tags you ask?

According to Read Write Web:

Currently if you search for #080808, you can see a new #080808 tweet coming up every 0.5 seconds!

Whether you like the term or not, web 2.0 apps continue to set the scene on the immediate future of the web. So here’s a few handy links to spread the glossy logo love even further…

• www.go2web20.net (pictured) - A bit of a web 2.0 index, tagged for easy searching.
• web2list.com - If it’s web 2.0 company news you’re after, here you go.
• movers20.esnips.com - Follow the web 2.0 traffic trends. Pretty much a big countdown of what’s hot and what’s not in web 2.0 land, and very nerdy activity graphs /information on each app.
• www.allthingsweb2.com - A big site here, being pretty much all things web 2.0.

I’m a bit late on this, but Firefox are going for a new world record for their downloads of the new version 3. I recommend you give it a try!

Rhys emailed me this little gem which I think is worth sharing. No doubt the Tate Modern’s current street art exhibition is well worth a look.

At university in Australia, in-between spending unnecessary amounts of time contemplating where a “multimedia” course would take me (somehow it brought me closer to coding for Internet Explorer than I would have liked), I spent much time studying and working in film/video. Now that I am confined to a world of coding hell that is necessary for making web browsers behave, I will find it therapeutic, in the coming weeks, to try and share as many strange and surreal video I come across. The internet has created all sorts of new opportunities, but I’m more appreciative of it over anything else, for providing a platform for young, passionate film makers and artists of all types to share their work.

For instance, did you see time stand still at Grand Central Station?
