Get your stuff done

From the series "Tales of mere existence": cartoons about stuff you think about but don't talk about.

The evolution of the media industry...

... seems to lay in the I-pad.

Below the explanation of the new I-pad application, that may announces a new way to get information..through your relationships.

Named Flipboard, the application is presented as a "personnalized social magazine".It extends links your friends and contacts are sharing on Facebook and Twitter into beautifully packaged articles. The app also comes with existing content from third-party providers.

While early iPad apps based on magazines are cool to flip through and pleasing to the eye, they are largely cut-and-paste jobs that place existing content into digital form. Sure, there are elements of interactivity and forward-thinking sales promotions, but no standalone magazine app to date has stretched the imagination of what can be accomplished on an iPad or tablet computing device.

Flipboard, while far from perfect, is a good step in that direction. It’s hard to imagine, much less replicate, the app’s socially-driven construct in any other form. The context of where articles are coming from is more significant than the content within them.

Pay attention to not only how this app evolves in the weeks and months ahead, but also how traditional publishers respond to and cherry-pick its most innovative elements.

Check out Flipboard's promotional video below.

Most people tagged in one picture - world record attempt

GlastoTag, a project that went live today, is attempting to break the world record for most people tagged in one picture.

The project? A 1.3 giga-pixel image that captured 70,000 fans who watched the England vs Slovenia World Cup match.

Using two 50 mega-pixel Hasselblad H4D-50 cameras equipped with a 150mm lens on top and a 100mm lens with tilt-shift adaptors on bottom, 36 images were stitched together to have it horizontally pan 180 degrees to fit the entire 350 meter wide field. The cameras were linked vertically and were manually rotated to record every 10 degree increment. With its incredibly high resolution, the image was able to capture minute details that make even the furthest audience members recognizable. By using Facebook integration, the project asks the event’s participants to tag themselves and friends.

The brand behind ? Orange. Of course
