Street art innovation





Street art is traditionally such an after hours affair but this guy who was right across from my hotel was doing incredible stuff. I know that this style of art has been around for a while but the fusion of spraycans and fine art technique means that the finished pieces look incredible and unlike anything I'd seen before.

What's more it's a rare treat to be able to watch a street artist working in front of you. Bet it won't be long before a big brand taps into this 'live street art' idea and uses it for some instant street cred...

Netscape launches its own version of Digg





In an attempt to regain user preference for the Netscape site AOL have launched a beta version of the new Netscape which works in a similar way to Digg.com. Users post stories of interest and the more votes a story gets, the higher up the rankings it moves on the homepage. The essential difference between Digg & the net Netscape seems to be that Netscape also has a bunch of editor bloggers who pick out the top ranking stories and follow them up with commentary and supplementary editorial.
