Spotted: new in new media

Nrc.Next pointed me to some great (new) online destinations this week:

Every person in New York

Jason Polan has a mission. He is going to make a drawing of every person in NYC. He moves unnoticable throughout the city and draws people in the subway, in musea, restaurants. etc. Whenever he has a new stack of drawings he uploads them. Since there are about 8 million people to be drawn – more fun to come!

Evite 2.0

A true web 2.0 invitation service. The user submits her details and receives invites based on the events that match her profile. Going and Facebook are following with their own invitation services.

Grandma’s socks

This is a great idea, it has everything: old meets new, truly unique and cult power waiting to be unleashed. On netgranny.ch you pick a Grandma, a design and Granny starts knitting. Soon you’ll have your granny-generated socks delivered to your home.

Note: the idea sounds better than the actual destination. Which brave entrepreneurial soul will help make this a professional enterprise with a site to match?

Re-usability

Green e-commerce – a place for old things to get a new life. Fun to look at the ingredients label on each product that tells you what rubbish went into making it. Anyone looking for shoes from old car tires?

The grey album

A video where DJ Dangermouse mixed The White Album of the Beatles with The Black Album of Jay-Z. The results: The Grey Album, downloaded a million times on one day.
