Why is the lying down on Facebook game good?
Because it has no point. And in a world where everything has to seemingly have a point, it’s great to see something so pointless making people laugh. Why not join the Facebook group and lie down pointlessly.

Marcus Brown’s Twitter readings – David Armano
I’m not usually one to blow smoke up people’s backsides but here’s an exception. Marcus Brown has to be one of the funniest and most intelligent people using social tools to just do stuff, he gets how to get people interested, simple as that. His aliases so far include The Kaiser, The Dead Artist and my favourite Sacrum Now Mr Brown has created his Twitter readings. The first reading are the Tweets of David Armano and it starts as follows…
“Looking under the bonnet of one of the Twittersphere’s most influential Twitterers. The cowboy hat wearing social media expert that we have come to know and love…Mr David Armano. As you may well know he is an experienced blogger, graphic maker and a serious commentator on social media. So I thought it would be smashing to look at some of his most important Tweets.”
This is hilarious and worth following for the next instalment , good effort again.

Serious blogging on hold. Time for a Tears for Fears literal video
I’m not really in the mood for creating any top ten lists of 2008 or future gazing into 2009. That can all wait for the New Year. So in the meantime I’m topping up my Xmas spirit with the weird and wonderful world of Youtube. Enjoy and have a great crimbo.

Battle of the Bonds
I sometimes feel like I’m the only one who isn’t impressed with Daniel Craig as James Bond. Not only does he look too much like Jim Carver from The Bill, I feel like he has become this weird Bond, xXx hybrid.
So it’s good to see that Brosnan, who is by far the better Bond, kick his arse in this mashup. Hat tip to Stan for this.

Hubdub – predicting the news
Hubdub is a great new site that allows you to test your forecasting skills and gamble imaginary money by predicting the future of the news. This is the perfect site for people who think they know it all and a great test of the ‘Wisdom of Crowds’ theory. You can predict the news covering everything from the price of oil to Heath Ledger being the next Oscar winner.

Anyone looking for a funky retail space?
If so, I found one down Crown Street at the weekend. You might have previously known it as the ‘Puf N Stuff’ Clearence store. Contact details for Justin & Victor below.
Japan is the user experience capital of the world
Japan undoubtedly thinks of everyone. Even those people who are travelling with dwarfs and would like them to watch you do your business. Is this post too wrong?
