A good idea or three
PSFK recently ran their Good Ideas in 2009 in Digital seminar in New York.
Full of inspiration and food for thought of what is and what will be, it is definitely worth a watch
But, if you don’t have a spare hour up your sleeve, we have prepared the 60 sec snapshot for you
Virtual Identity
You are no longer really in control of your digital destiny. Aggregating tools and the move from search to findability, your digital identity is not only made up of what you have created for people to see (active collaborations) but also what you have done (passive collaborations). Something you may want to remember when you next consider time you look for yourself on Hot or Not.
For the voyuerists amongst us, there is My First Tweet which looks at people’s first week of using Twitter and gives us a window into how people start using new digital channels - who tests the waters & who dives in head first.
And for the digital show ponies amongst us – lifestreaming. Check out Storytlr – a tool which aggregates all your social media activities

Mobile internet
The mobile web is finally taking off and it is succeeding by pulling the web apart, apps let us find exactly what we need, when we need it – whether that is a recommendation for the best pizza with 100m and how to get there or something cool to watch while we are waiting for the bus.
