One month after it’s release, Avatar is still topping the box office charts. And now today we are proud to announce the launch of The Art of Avatar! Built in WordPress, the site showcases yummy bits from the book of the same name, and I got to use the super user-friendly Page Flip Gallery plugin to bat. And speaking of bats… READ MORE
Wow. This is fun. James Blagden illustration/animation takes you through a journey of a spectacular moment in baseball history.

There’s an old 1971 Robert Silverberg science-fiction story, “Good News from the Vatican,” where a robot is elected pope…
How far off is that?
The current Pope is now encouraging all his clergy to jump onto the new media bandwagon and embrace social media. In a message prepared for World Communications Day on May 16, Pope Benedict XVI is telling his priests, bishops and cardinals to proclaim the gospel using social media, online video, blogs and animated features in order to reach the younger generation.
The Vatican has already made its foray into cyberspace with its digital-savvy Papal leader — having launched a YouTube Channel, Facebook and iPhone apps last year.
Beatus exsisto animus in Facebook, MySpace quod Twitter.
Create your fan video is amazing. If you have a Myspace account or Facebook account your profile image can be featured in a music video from top artists such as Alicia Keys, 50 Cent and more. Ummmm all I can say is it looks real. The viral exposure for these artists and Myspace music will be through the roof ounce this one catches on. READ MORE
I am loving the new Aflac website. Not only does it mix comedy with hard facts on insurance, it has about 20 different interactive messages on all different insurance needs for your life. With a great use of minimal navigation at the top all the way down to the left corner with a quick quote tool followed up with two main calls to action on the right. This site is very focused and I give this one a jolly green giant of a thumbs up.
Happy to announce the launch of another site : The Cambridge School is alive. Using WordPress as a Content Management System, the admin side allows the school’s staff to easily update the site, without having to worry about all the nitty-gritty. Images on the homepage and elsewhere are pulled in via jQuery from XML docs, fading in and out. Typeface.js renders text in the sidebars which is also dynamically controlled from the backend… READ MORE
The Chatter
Have you been haring this lately around the office and coffee houses, “Mafia Wars is addicting”? Or: “I’ve been spending a lot of money on Mafia Wars.”
The online game is a good example of digital economy platforms, where money operates in the virtual world of the game and in the real world with revenue profit and charitable efforts.
You can buy points in Mafia Wars, and gain more weapons, power, and position. Depends on how much you want to spend.
What? Never heard of Mafia Wars?
Our hearts and prayers go out to all those in Haiti, and the Haitian citizens in America watching the events unfold from the TV and news.
What has come out of this natural disaster is a light on how relevant and important social media technology has become, both personally and globally. While the traditional communications infrastructures in Haiti are down, news has been coming out via mobile devices with photos and images, and Skype has been the most-used method of families and friends to contact each other.
Facebook has played a significant role as well. The Haiti Earthquake Page has been a space where people can put of photos of loved ones, asking if anyone has seen then, and posting up-to-the-minute updates on the situation.
We last saw social media having a similar impact during the riots in Iran when the government there cracked down on the flow of the Internet.
Ten, fifteen, twenty—even five!—years ago, such platforms of instant communication were not available, and the flow of information would take longer, and often would be inaccurate.
These are examples of how technology and social media bring the world together faster and easier, and gives us a good idea of how relevant social media will become in all our lives in the years to come.
jQuery is a wonder-filled javascript library that is seemingly everywhere these days: Google, Dell, BofA, MLB, Digg, NBC, CBS, Netflix, Technorati, Mozilla.org, WordPress, Drupal, and most every site we’ve worked on for a few years now. In celebration of the upcoming release of jQuery v1.4, the developers are showcasing 14 Days of jQuery over at jquery14.com. The site promises “code releases, project-related updates, and jQuery UI goodness”, plus “videos over the 14 days with talks and tutorials relating the jQuery 1.4 release and other general jQuery topics.” Sounds good to me!
Check out my picks for favorite uses of jQuery from us here at Ninthlink, after the jump : READ MORE
