SURFIN SINGERS
*Adventures online and Consumer Activisim*
My favorite internet "finds"- stay tuned, I surf a lot! The sites open in a new window.
www.sodaplay.com
Don't say you weren't warned. UK Web company Soda tells you upfront that it can damage your productivity. This site allows you to build virtual objects using a simple toolkit. But the real fun comes when you give your objects life by adding springs, allowing them to move, bounce and walk around the screen. It isn't easy, but it is addictive, and a fascinating study of interaction and the Web.
www.soulbath.com
Soulbath isn't as much a site as it is an experience. The site hijacks your browser and takes you on a hypnotic journey of innovative design and spooky correspondence.
www.grrl.com
Through her site, GRRL, Web designer Bonnie Burton hopes to transform herself into a full-fledged Internet-cult goddess. There's a lot of fun stuff here, like the cute geek guy of the week and various photos of the would-be goddess vamping for the camera. But the part we loved was her bizarre array of eBay finds.
www.rotodesign.com/index.html
Patrick Broderick is a San Francisco-based designer with a lot of time on his hands, as evidenced by his Rotodesign site. This is to your advantage, since he has amassed a a collection of hilarious, lighthearted online folly. Included are fictional failed magazines (Here's Alan Thicke! and Heroin Aficionado) and the cartoon adventures of Billy Precocious, the child surgeon.
www.fallinpa.com
Think of it as atonement for months of stifling summer heat or the wicked winter to come. Either way, there's nothing that beats the visual feast of changing leaves in the Northeast. The state of Pennsylvania has cooked up a rather slick Web site celebrating the most beautiful fall months. This site includes 29 different driving tours, Web cams and hiking and biking guides.
www.ultimatetaxi.com
If you don't think the Web's reach is pervasive, check out the site for The Ultimate Taxi. This high-wired cab has a TaxiCam (check out who's in the back seat), a chat room, message boards, and emails, all brought to you by the hyper-connected cabbie, Jon Barnes. If you find yourself in Aspen, CO, make plans for Jon to pick you up at the airport.
www.kkcltd.com/thepit.html
Test your copywriting ability compliments of the Kranzler Kingsley Communications. Try out their World's Worst Headline Game, a competition for the worst headline possible and Jingleberries, a jingle-writing contest. If you haven't already made the foray into advertising, maybe you'll be discovered here.
What is www.jodi.org? If you find out, be sure to let us know. HOW has included this spot in the Top 10 because its perplexing nature makes it an enigma to Web watchers. Images rise randomly to the fore-you have to roll your cursor over the whole screen to find the next puzzling link. If entirely useless, it is quite fascinating.
www.posttool.com/playpage/
The folks at Post Tool Design have cooked up a fun and whimsical "Play Page" using Shockwave to carry their folly. Included is a sound/sketch doodle pad (where you can mix shapes and sound together), Pong and much more.
www.testtube.com
Testtube.com is a curious Web site with a funky home page that invites you to offer your opinion on a variety of topics. Go to Taste Tester to voice your opinion about the featured subject and see how "average" you are compared to the general public. The philosophy of this site is that if you offer something of yourself, you might stumble upon a person, object or idea you've been seeking.
CONSUMER
www.e-thepeople.com
Got a bone to pick? Before your anger wanes as you search for the appropriate target of your ire, check out E-The People. This free Web service helps you find appropriate contacts through a keyword search or through categories. If the appropriate contact doesn't have an email address, E-The People will convert your concern to a fax. If you're really mad, you can start a petition and recruit others to sign it. Activism has never been so fast and easy.
