(TrendHunter.com) I love the simple design of these crumbs plates. Kind of stylish, kind of kitsch but it works. Sorry can’t think of a lot else to say so will let the series of pictures speak for themselves.
They come from Soop china and the biscuits featured included the malted milk, rich tea, nice, shortbread and…
You know, after all these years, I still enjoy a good “design your own (thing normally designed by professionals).” But the emphasis has to be on the word good, and that’s where StrawberryFrog earns points with its Scion Speak site, which lets you create a customized logo. According to The New York Times, “The agency spent six months last year escorting a graffiti artist, Tristan Eaton, around New York, Los Angeles and other cities to talk to Scion owners about their lifestyles.†The result is a site with slick urban graphics and a surprisingly intuitive navigation. What’s also interesting is the fact that the site represents Toyota’s focus on building loyalty among existing customers. I haven’t ridden in a Scion in years, but I still enjoyed creating this winged, rat-capped ode to awesomeness. Hat tip to Dan Shust on Twitter.

Carlton Draught – Big ad – (2005) 0:60 (Australia)
Oh yes, we all remember the Carlton Draughts Big Ad fondly. It went on to rake in the awards and even had a fierce fight with Guinness Noitulove / Evolution for the Grand Prix spot in Cannes 2006. The later Carlton Draught flashdancer advert was kind either super funny or “meh” depending on who you asked. Carlton has thus done a big time gamble and brought back the thousand Carlton men who sort themselves into shapes.
Only this time… they’re skydiving.

BusinessWeek took an interest in Clay Shirky’s new book about what happens when people are given the tools to do things together, without needing traditional organizational structures.
In his book, Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations, author and NYU faculty member Clay Shirky describes the profound impact of social technological tools on contemporary culture—from e-mail and blogs to Twitter and wikis.
In Shirky’s view, we’re living in the middle of a revolution as momentous as that which followed the invention of the printing press. Society and industry, in other words, are being radically reshaped.
Shirky calls for readers to acknowledge the new reality and look to the future. “The important questions aren’t about whether these tools will spread or reshape society but rather how they do so.”
How society will be reshaped is cause for debate and genuine concern. For instance, if our newspapers are killed off by the rise of consumer-generated news, we will be that much more uninformed. Not pretty.
