The Times They Are A-Changin'

I heart viral campaigns

Especially when they are promoting anything that J.J. Abrams made/makes. Like Super 8, which I'm super (sorry) excited about.

I know this great little website

'cause London's a big, scary city, and sometimes you need to know where to go:

(Also, Timeout reviews mostly suck.)

Good idea, maybe a site redesign once enough info is gathered will make it more user friendly.

On the potential uses of Facebook

The world is filled with data, and with the massive explosion of the internet and social networking sites it has been easier than ever to gather this data from and in the same place. The hard part is analysing them in a way that will yield original, interesting and truthful results.

Facebook has people's data. They put it there themselves. David McCandless, data journalist, realised this and performed a study on Facebook to locate a possible seasonality in break-ups. His theory is interesting, but also flawed (as pointed out in Digital Society). What is an important take-away from this (apart from the fact that people liked talking about Rihanna and Chris Brown - a lot) is the unbelievable potential that lies within Facebook for data mining and exploitation, and the ways in which it can help us understand the world more than anything else.

One of the rare occasions where I am actually looking forward to an opening act.
