How Much Is Your Blog Worth?
This blogwidget has been called the ‘most successful linkbaiter ever’ apparently. Its creator - Dan Carlson - says:
Inspired by Tristan Louis’s research into the value of each link to Weblogs Inc, I’ve created this little applet using Technorati’s API which computes and displays your blog’s worth using the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal.

My blog is worth $9,032.64.
How much is your blog worth?
Not nearly enough to get that new M3, that’s for sure. But at least its not *completely* worthless. Unlike others ; )
One Of The Coolest Recording Studios Ever
I was quite surprised when I got this result on Google the other day: Vince Clarke (Erasure, Depeche Mode, Yazoo etc.) is a UK producer with one of the coolest recording studios I’ve ever seen. Which he apparently sold in 2004:

Nice: BMW M3 Commercial
From the Youtube entry:
The “Revolution” spot created by Austin-based GSD&M Idea City incorporates unprecedented technology to film the combustion process of a BMW M3 V8 engine without using computer generated effects.
Filming the process was not easy. Manifolds were cut, cylinders shaved, and lighting holes were drilled in three complete M3 V8 engines for Director Raf Wathion to use special cameras and lenses to capture the action.
Sehr toll!
Webby Awards 2008: Nominee + Honoree

News just reached the Kong Suites here in Amsterdam that we’re Official Webby Honoree for our Oxfam Blogsfam project. Nice! The Webby’s are also known as ‘The Oscars of the Internet’ according to The New York Times. But ofcourse you already knew that. Also Poke London picked up a Webby nomination for Spot the Bull, a project I had the pleasure to work on whilst at Poke.
