• Parents BBFC – Detailed parental advice for films and games.
• MindCanvas – “What is a MindCanvas method? Its a game-like research. Results are displayed as interactive visualizations.” “Everybody hates surveys. Everybody loves games. With game-like elicitation methods users enjoy giving you design feedback.”
• James Governor’s Monkchips – IBM’s Consumer Business: Tell The Story, Boost The Share Price, Deepen Customer Relationships – Great post. One snippet that really made my day: “IBM’s marketing around Second Life and Wimbledon is one model for success in profile building.”
• The Personal Network Effect – Dunbar strikes again. Go over 150 connections at your own risk [via andy]
• SpinVox – Social Networks – Twitter – Update Twitter by talking. Text-to-speech, so none of that twittergram mp3 nonsense. Sadly, you have to enter your twitter username and password over http (not even https) which feels wrong. Could be an interesting service though.
• Radio 4 chief says station must improve marketing | Media | Guardian Unlimited – Compared with television, Mr Damazer said, ‘Serious radio simply gets too little coverage'” Couldn’t agree more

• FredCavazza.net » Virtual Universes Landscape – “Let me introduce you to these universes by using a map where I positioned most of them. All of these are not vast virtual world like Second Life, but they all share common characteristics.”
• Dedicated Followers of Fashion: The Peacock?s Tail: Laptops – Yay. DFOF picked up my laptop-stickers photo of Cory’s ThinkPad. I hereby resolve to take lots more of that sort of photo.
