50 Viral Images Part Two My original 50 viral images (and how they spread) post turned out to be extremely successful and was read quite a few times to say the least. I was surprised so many people were interested as the images in there had already been passed around social media to death. With that said, I failed to consider most people don’t spend nearly as much time on the web as I do. Seeing as the first viral images post was published June 15, 2008 we’re passed due for a fresh one. Again, as I said in the previous post: Unfortunately due to the nature of images on the web (images being copied, posted without attribution, shared via email and public hosting services, being submitted anonymously, rexmied, etc.) it is difficult for me to give proper attribution of these images. Images are perhaps the most powerful form of content to spread on the web due to their portability, instant gratification, and impact.

Language Comparison It's important when choosing a programming language to choose the right language for the job. While there are many factors involved, one of the most important is certainly the fit of the tool to the project at hand. Tcl and Tk aren't the perfect tool for everything, but they do work well for a surprisingly large number of projects. Dynamic Languages vs. Tcl is a dynamic programming language, along with other languages like Perl, Python, Ruby, etc. Dynamic languages are complementary to system programming languages, and designed to solve different problems. As a result, dynamic languages tend to be "higher level". Dynamic languages aren't right for everything though, and many projects in fact combine both dynamic and system programming languages, using each where appropriate. Choosing a Dynamic Language In recent years, there has been a real surge in the availability and popularity of high quality dynamic languages, particularly in the open source world. So then, why Tcl?
Simon Staffans: What's next for crossmedia? March 6, 2014 Brand storytelling, deep knowledge of audiences and real-life interaction will all be key moving forwards By Simon Staffans Photo: PAN Studio’s Hello Project brought everyday objects to life in Bristol last year. A couple of weeks ago in a post here on MIPBlog I talked with four people who were each looking forward to 2014 for different reasons; everything from how gaming will come to influence television, to a new rise in ad-funded crossmedia and transmedia content. Looking into my own personal crystal ball, I can’t but agree. 1. The art of the storyteller is gaining in popularity and respect, as an increasing number of companies realise that Jerome Bruner was correct when he, in the book “Actual Minds, Possible Worlds”, that people are 22 times more likely to remember a story than a series of facts or bullet points. The end result was a great story arc, fulfilling all expectations and even involving Europe- and trade ministers. 2. 3.
50 Viral Images (and how they spread) Viral videos are ubiquitous – they have spread into both mainstream pop culture and corporate America. Everyone talks about developing viral videos, and there are plenty of techniques you can use to give your video the best chance of success. But, something not talked about as frequently are viral images. Viral images predate viral videos, and have been around since the AOL and Prodigy days when there wasn’t enough bandwidth available for the everyday user to access video. Images can be spread on the web through several means, and they criss-cross back and forth between: Message-boards and forumsBlogsEmails (inter-office, personal and mass emails to all your friends)Social networksBasic HTML Web sitesCompany intranets Viral images have held on tightly and are as much a part of “Web 2.0” as they were for Web 1.0. With so many people contributing photos, graphics, cartoons and other kinds of images to the web, it is only natural that the most compelling of them are shared on a mass scale.

A Collection of Printable Sketch Templates and Sketch Books for Wireframing At the beginning of a web (or application) development project I always create the sketches first. While sketching can be done on a blank paper, it’s much better to use a sketch template. For me that is the best and most productive way to work on and improve my ideas before application development begins (and things get more complicated :-)). Below you will find more than 20 resources that you can use in sketching phase of application development. And, of course, don’t forget to share your wireframes on I ♥ wireframes :-) Printable sketch templates for websites These are some pretty good, printable sketch templates for website design.

Maths Games Pictogram rock posters This is my most ambitious, and maybe also the best, personal work I’ve done so far. I decided to pick a few bands and artists from the rock genre and make pictogram posters for them. Instead of just putting one single pictogram in each poster, like in my previous ‘Pictogram music posters’, I made as many as I could possibly come up with for each artist, and jammed them into one single poster. The bands and artists that I chose are: David Bowie, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop, The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley. A big thanks (as always) to The Noun Project. Thank you so much in advance, I hope you like my new project! Best, Viktor
