Fresh concept

Brewing out from Brussels – found at social events, URBAN COFFEE is a new concept of take-away drinks. Definitely a creative way to interact with people through the website using passwords on the original beverage cups to open new sections on the website.

Ah somebody has figured out how to tap into our community / social media cravings (and hot beverages). Well done! Niiiiice website too.

Is this thing on?

When introducing something new might be met with resistance. But using Tweets as comments is this a good idea?

“Replacing comments with tweets is ingenious? Brilliant? Clever? We disagree.” by Nathan Peretic

“Some first impressions on Cognition the new Happy Cog blog and their effort to suggest a new way of commenting on blogs.”

So what do you think?

The Social Network

Oh so appropriately titled The Social Network, an upcoming movie about you know who with a tagline that makes him (it) quite recognizable: “You don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies.”

Watch the trailer! Blockbuster upcoming!

SoundCloud

Lets you move music fast and easy. The platform takes the daily hassle out of receiving, sending and distributing music for artists, record labels and other music professionals. Anyone know or is using SoundCloud? I’m trying to gather information about it. Worthy? Not?

Sample this: J. BIEBZ – U SMILE 800% SLOWER

Would luv to have your opinion in the comments.

Debunking APIs

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..
