This is one of the most sexual ads I’ve ever seen on TV!

One more post about the Beijing Olympic games! Since the games are happening at late (and early) hours I’ve been following the news from different websites but mainly from BBC and Estadao (for Brazilian Olympic news). This morning I was also checking other websites for curiosity. Most of them follow a similar layout pattern with featured articles on top, headlines, number of medals and in some cases multimedia content. I’d like to see more different approaches for this subject… I’ll try to find some more and update this post later. Suggestions are welcome!

I’m glad that delicious finally launched their long awaited new website. I haven’t got time to explore it properly yet but the tag filtering, search and navigation seem to be immensely improved.

You can check the new website at www.delicious.com

I can’t say it’s always true, but many times we come across situations like this one:

Just read on Techcrunch about cuil, a new search engine which claims to have more 120 billion pages indexed. I’m not sure yet about its accuracy and relevancy, but I did a search with my name and the results are slightly different from Google – and it’s a column based layout rather than a list which in fact I quite liked.

This is what everyone is talking about in the office today… So it might worth having a look:

Truth about smart website

I have to say it’s a really good and simple idea! The website addresses the most common concerns about smart cars!
