In a project by Google Creative Lab, an interviewer asked people on the streets of Time Square in NY – “What is a browser?”. Some of the answers gave me a good laugh. Turns out that less than 8% of those asked the question knew what a browser was.

The news on the web today is that Twitter may be heading to Hollywood.
Variety reported that a Twitter TV project was announced by Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment yesterday, May 25th. According to the Twitter Blog, they have merely a “lightweight” agreement with the producers, although there are a lot of related ideas in the works.
One of Brillstein’s exec producers involved in the potential project, Jon Liebman stated:
“We’ve found a compelling way to bring the immediacy of Twitter to life on TV.”
Of course they did.
It’s too soon to tell when we can expect an official Twitter television series, but we’ve been warned.

The nominees for the 13th Annual Webby Awards were announced last week! I have always been a fan of The Webby Awards since I feel they truly judge and award the work as a whole and not just based on one accept.
There are four main sections of The Webby Awards: Websites, Interactive Advertising, Online Film & Video, and Mobile. Within each of the main sections, nominees are selected in a wide range of categories. The categories for websites include everything from activism to youth.
A personal favorite of mine is the humor category. The nominees this year, in the humor category, include the always hilarious FAIL Blog.
You can get in on the judging action as well by voting for your favorites in the People’s Voice Voting. But hurry, voting ends April 30.
Congratulations and best of luck to all of this year’s nominees and honorees.
