NMAP have visualised the 288,945 most popular websites (according to Alexa) in the world using their favicon — that’s the little picture that appears by bookmarks and in the address bar. Google dwarfs the competition. I’d like a bit poster of this so help me spot our site!

Continuing with giant theme for today is a new website by the BBC that allows you to superimpose events, places and things on different parts of the world to compare scale. Want to see how big the Glastonbury Festival would be in Guernsey, or scale of Pakistan’s floods? How Big Really allows you to do that and truly appreciate the scale. I think it works particularly well in Guernsey due to our small size and clear geographic boarders

Mr Doob has created a new browser based drawing experiment. This time you can collaborate with other visitors and create a masterpiece. Images spontaneously appear before your eyes, and partnerships are formed as you help other users with their creations. I helped user XXXL draw a face, they did the eyes and the nose and I aided by drawing the hair. There was no discussion, no planning, no permission, it just happened. It’s fun and feels nice, but be ready for someone scribbling over your pictures.

Ever wondered how a design agency does it’s work? This fantastic video by Meltmedia explains all.
“The premise of this short film is to represent the digital tools and interfaces we use daily in an analog way. In the analog office, your computer desktop becomes your actual desk, your inbox gets flooded with Spam cans, the server runs past you multiple times a day (and perhaps crashes every now and then), and Twitter users follow each other around the space. This concept is essentially just for fun but also reminds us just how digitally connected we all are.”

This year we took the opportunity to give the Victor Hugo Music Festival a refresh. The site has been totally rebuilt in HTML 5 and this gave us the chance to make it wider and easier to use more visually appealing.

The number of seconds it takes for a website to load is very important. This initial loading time is the first impression a website makes on a user. Once upon a time, when we used 28.8kb modems, we’d wait thirty seconds and think it was slow but acceptable. As the speed of our connections has increased our patience has reduced. We now want pages to load instantly.

With the launch of The Test Market website we have deployed our first website written in HTML5 — the new standard for creating dynamic, accessible websites and ‘webapps’. HTML is the structure of web pages and version five offers a lot of new features such as embedding video and audio without Flash, new form controls, the ability to create images and graphics with the web browser and build rich applications for computers and mobile devices. Combined with CSS3 (used for styling websites) it is going to revolutionise the web. The Test Market website takes advantage of of this emerging technology to offer a richer experience for both users and content creators.
