What's Hot This Week #2

  • Webtrends Map – maps out the 333 leading Web domains and the 111 most influential Internet people onto the Tokyo Metro map.
  • We Are Hunted - a new music site which aggregates a daily chart of the 99 most popular songs online by looking at sites such as iLike, BitTorrent, Last.fm, MySpace Music etc. Great for finding emerging artists.
  • Adidas Marathon App – one of those “I wish I’d thought of that” ideas. For Sunday’s marathon Adidas developed an app that you could tap in someone’s race number and it would tell you where they were on the course, along with information on the best places to stand and the nearest tube and train stations to get there.
  • Vimeo and Honda – doing more than just uploading their ad to the internet, Honda partnered with Vimeo to make ‘Let it Shine’ even more spectacular. Great simple way to drive online views. A bit like THIS earlier piece from Nintendo.
  • Table Tennis – with Bud Light’s launch of the Hard Bat Classic, a ‘revolutionary one-of-a-kind table tennis tournament and lifestyle event’ I think table tennis could be making a comeback this year.
  • Cooliris – a great Firefox add-on that saves an awful lot of time when browsing images and videos online – thanks Jason for pointing this one out.
