Heineken just launched their new Dutch site. It’s mainly about music and sports events, with an agenda, tickets + music store and the e-program.

Augmented Reality is so hot right now. We’ve  seen a lot of brands diving into world of 3D experiences. And it’s popularity is fastly growing under all sorts of other brands now too. Pool has given it’s own twist on this new hype.

Ikea gives you a sneak peek into the bedrooms of regular Dutch people. And for the voyeuristic amongst you, they’ve got two live bedroom cams to check out. The campaign is created by Lemz.

And I’m not talking about that white stuff. There’s a new Coke Zero site live. Sit back and enjoy, it’s friday, grab a beer and cheer for our heroes North Kingdom.

Watch this seminar site, made all out of paper, figurely speaking…

The new search engine by Microsoft will go by the name of Bing (not Kumo) and will replace Live Search. It’s too easy to bash them or an engine that’s not operational yet. What I can say is that they deserve better logo designs and should try to ban fade-to-white images (see video) out of gui designs. Startup screens: here & here.

Hilarious! The homepage of Neboko\Flow…

For about 10 years Kevin Bauman has been taking these pictures of abandoned houses in Detroit. He finds it to be ‘amazing, depressing, and perplexing that a once great city could find itself in such great distress, all the while surrounded by such affluence.‘ Agreed.
