GOOGLE & HELVETICA: Nice April Fools

If you havent already seen this, Google 'Helvetica' and see a smart but painful prank on Google part. Nice one.

HTML 5 // Subways and Sounds

Created by @alexanderchen and posted on @ChromeExp this experiment is based on the intersections of all the subway lines on the MTA. Very Cool.

At www.mta.me, Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA’s actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli’s 1972 diagram.

Nice stuff. Check it. Found this via @BBHLabs (cheers).

GOOGLE // Layered Body Tool

This was posted on Labs back in December, but I forgot how cool this was. Have a look again.

GOOGLE // 'Like' 2.0 = '+1'?

Google announced an new tech called +1 that is a 'like'-type button for search and ads that will eventually get in to site content and more I'm sure. Now all I need to do is get all my Facebook friends to get a profile on Google and start +1ing their searches so I can see what they liked...HMMM? Or just incorporate the Like button? Naw. Buzz and Wave did so well trying to get social right that I'm sure this will work like a charm. Fingers crossed! Just buy Facebook already!

GOOGLE // They've gone editorial!

They launched an online mag called @thinkquarterly and it's actually quite nice. The first issue is on 'Data', so that makes me all warm inside. It scales to mobile brilliantly! Check it out. I'm pretty impressed.
