Nessim Higsom (IAAH) and friends, Josh Stearns – Kenneth Robin have re-envisioned perhaps of what MTV once was?
“After a year and a half of blood, sweat, tears, and frankly a ‘lil procrastination, YYY / Channel Y is re-launched. With more people experiencing the web on TV and TV on the web, this new iteration of Yes Yes Y’all is right where it needs to be.
As one of the first passive experiences online, the site resembles what MTV once represented – a fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. At a party. Lounging on the couch. Seeking the new. Finding the inspirational. This is how YYY is to be embraced.
Music has long been the basis of the site, and as visual artists it’s a natural evolution to have innovative eye-candy creep into the mix. After all, in many, many cases, the beauties of each are not mutually exclusive.
Bumpers have been created by the YYY team and are meant to function as segues into the curated content so keep an eye out for those as you consume the content from the site.”

Get fame and fortune from the Twitter API by John Allsopp
We all enjoy having a few adoring fans and the great thing about social media is your latest work might just go viral. A project that looks great and also does something interesting .. that’s worth talking about.
Enter the social media APIs.
An API, is a back door into a service such as Facebook, Twitter, Google or YouTube that allows a programmer to add much of the functionalities those services offer to your own project.
The mashup is one result, for instance here in the UK. We had a very snowy winter, and Ben Marsh created UK Snow which takes users’ snow reports from Twitter and plots them on a Google map using the Twitter API to gather the data, and the Google Maps API to plot it.
Ok that’s pretty nerdy (and even useless to you) but, consider these:
What would you do if you could just grab data and functionality from your favourite Web 2.0 service? What social media functionality could you add to your project to improve your users’ experience?
Don’t let the pre-packaged widgets stifle your imagination.
With a friendly programmer, stable, free and open APIs, you could add social media functionality to your project and, with a little luck thrown in, maybe get yourself some mass adulation..

Although I really like the wall of thumbnails with a huge searching box for the Forsman & Bodenfors website and the background changes that reflect your searches, I wonder why – when following a project thumb it leads to an all black background? In my opinion, this breaks the flow.
You, what do you think, works or not?

Very very very pretty triangular gradient shape (wish I had designed that) as well as splash landing page design dressed in a deep purple textured background for the Kaleidoscope application.
Not really sure what it does though. Enlight me.
