Cool Hunting
Me.dium is like being given a piggyback by someone surfing the web. The interface sits as a sidebar on your Firefox browser (a version for Microsoft Explorer will soon be released) and at the top of the window, you can see which sites other Me.dium users are currently looking at. If anything takes your interest, like Frogger you can leap from your surfing session to theirs, and follow them as they explore the web. Don't worry though, no-one can follow you to sensitive sites such as online banking or email.
We found it really gratifying as we navigated to Cool Hunting and about four users swiftly followed us. On the flipside, we linked up with someone who was looking at some good stuff on YouTube. With a widget you can add to your site that shows visitors what you're looking at, Me.dium takes the surfing experience to the next level, making it less hidden and more open—but only if you want it to be. Web 2.1 anybody?

The guys from LTD magazine have been on our radar since 2006 but as of 6 June, when they launched their new website, that blip on our radar screen got a lot bigger. Aimed at giving the consumers who don't receive a hard copy limited access to the LTD world (the print run is always under 10,000 and only distributed to the publisher's list),...
The Awesome Highlighter is like the bag at the candy store you use to hand-pick exactly what will satisfy your sweet tooth, except it's for the world wide web. Allowing you to highlight specific text from any web page, it then creates a unique link to a personalized page with all the selected information. At the very least the Awesome Highlighter is an amazing...
