FujiFilm SeeHere
(24 October 2008) - Launched earlier this week, SeeHere is the latest entry in the pool of photo sites. Like Flickr, Photobucket and Picasa, SeeHere allows users to upload their photo libraries and share them free of charge. Unlike its competitors, there is no limit on the amount of images you can upload without incurring any fees. The site itself is pared-down and very straightforward (it was designed...

Radio Nova
(10 September 2008) - Any Francophile worth their salt should know about Radio Nova, the 27 year-old French station that broadcasts throughout much of the country. There are a lot of reasons to love it, not the least of which is if you find yourself driving a tiny car equipped with only a cassette deck to Le Lude, a renaissance castle in the Loire Valley — as Seth...

Deerhoof: Fresh Born Cover Project
(24 July 2008) - Deerhoof, the eclectic indie band from San Francisco, have a new take on the remix. They're asking the public to interpret one of their songs but, unlike the average cover song, there's no definitive version to work from. The band released the sheet music for the song "Fresh Born" through CASH Music, an organization that seeks to foster an exchange of ideas between music's...

Lost at E Minor
(04 April 2008) - Some might recognize Lost at E Minor from their frequent contributions to CH, but they also host their own site that covers trends and pop culture from all over the world. The page recently underwent a big overhaul. I was able to speak with founding editor Zolton Zavos, whose desk is conveniently next to mine at Cool Hunting HQ. What led you to create...

Netvibes
(18 September 2007) - If you are like me you can get lost for hours flowing between bookmarks, links and recommendations from friends on the web and you're probably looking for a simple organization solution. Recently I've been using Netvibes, a web-based application that "lets individuals assemble all in one place their favorite websites, blogs, email accounts, social networks, search engines, instant messengers, photos, videos, podcasts, widgets, and...

Gethuman 500 Database
(18 September 2007) - The grey-haired among us can remember when customer service lines employed human operators on the frontlines rather than the sycophantic automated phone system that leads the customer through byzantine corridors toward dead-ends or endless loops. Negotiating these labyrinths and reaching a live human being in a call center in some far-off land is often the hardest part of the journey toward customer satisfaction. Whether...

TateShots
(30 March 2007) - Bringing the best of the Tate to cyberspace, TateShots is the unpretentious two month-old podcast covering the goings-on at the museum as well as backstories in the form of mini art history lessons, like the first issue's look at Rodin's "The Kiss." With artist interviews, artists commenting on other artists and events—including Matt Mullican's recent performance under hypnosis—each monthly installment of short videos offers...

An instant gift at $25, Goodstorm sends the recipient an e-card with a link that takes them to a site where they can create their own t-shirt with photos, graphics and...

An online campaign, it allows members to review advertising and other forms of communication through both a creative and ethical lens.

Emil Goh: Mini Room
(13 October 2006) - Fascinated with how many young Koreans construct lives online, Emil Goh started photographing users of Cyworld, a virtual community that allows users to create rooms using various skins and other icons of furniture and appliances. In Goh's work, these imagined universes are perfect counterpoints to explore the many different living situations in Korea. He describes "regular 3-4 bedroom family apartments to cupboard sized "goshiwons"...

Foneros
(04 August 2006) - The spanish company Fon, billing itself as the largest WiFi community in the world, is poised to make a dramatic entrance to New York City this month. Their "free WiFi for all who contribute" manifesto found a comrade in technologist and former candidate for NYC Public Advocate Andrew Rasiej, who ran on a free-WiFi-for-all ticket. Having lost that bid, Rasiej is now privately teaming...

Radar
(03 August 2006) - As the mobile multimedia landscape evolves due to the increasing availability of hi-speed networks, Radar, the new web-based photo-sharing service for your phone and PC, is a natural step. Much like Shozu with Flickr built in, the site also has a social networking element. Once you join the Radar community and upload pictures by sending them to an email address, you'll be able to...

The Attention Trust
(22 May 2006) - Attention Trust. They've developed their own software (or you can use an approved online service called Root) that allows you to track your own internet usage. It's a bit like spying on yourself, except it's all above board. Later on, you can review on your habits, which may provide some insights, and you can share your information with whoever you wish (and only with those...

Outrageous and Contagious
(26 April 2006) - Running for just a week from next Monday 1 May 2006 at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts is, they claim, the World's first exhibition of viral emails. Outrageous and Contagious will showcase the cream of what appears in your inbox, split into various, sometimes topical, categories like New Orleans and Kate Moss. This image of the supermodel and sometime boyfriend Pete Doherty, doctored to...

Nokia 770
(25 May 2005) - Today Nokia announced a new gadget that isn't a phone at all. The new 770 device is being dubbed an Internet Tablet because its primary purpose is to be an in-home, instant-on web browser and email client. It will have Bluetooth and WiFi for accessing your wireless network and has a big, high resolution screen for viewing pages. At US$350, this is much more...

eHan Hoogerbrugge
(23 March 2005) - This image is from a large series of interactive animations in a set called Modern Living by Han Hoogerbrugge. Most of the animations work by moving your mouse over them to activate specific parts of the image-- making the character move and respond to his sorroundings, or sometimes even himself. They are all little stories about everyday life and it's said that the character...

Motorola SCREEN3
(21 March 2005) - At CTIA last week so much of the attention given to Motorola was regarding their deal with Apple to deliver an iPod phone. This seemed to eclipse the announcement of their new SCREEN3 service, which in my opinion is the next killer cell phone app. Basically, SCREEN3 is an always-on data service that pushes text and images to the idle screen of your handset....
