Around the Web: Forrst’s App Contest, inForums, Cow Clicker

In: web resources

24 Jul 2010

Hey there!

It’s very late on Friday night!(woo-hoo!), so this roundup is devoted to all things “awesome.”

Some links are newsworthy, some retweeted across Twitter, and others just meet our “awesomeness” requirement, and regardless we hope you’ll enjoy them. Without further delay:

  • Design Informer’s Jad Limcaco releases inForums
  • Cow Clicker is a Facebook game about Facebook games. It’s partly a satire, and partly a playable theory of today’s social games, and partly an earnest example of that genre. (via Ian Bogost)
  • Guide to layouts in web design (via Six Revisions)
  • Forrst users self-organize an app contest (it’s awesome, well-designed, & expect some insider info)
  • Where’s it Up is a site that tells you where in the world any site is up (via Paul Reinheimer)

Wildcard: Handwritten Tweets Express More (via Michael Beckwith & discovered via Grace Smith’s fabulous Twitter stream)

Please shoot me links to projects your working on or awesome things you’ve released! news@thinkvitamin.com

Handpicked by,

Chrissie (@tenaciouscb)

Something is ready for satire when it is easily recognizable and it is a rather humorless view of its own self-importance. The great dictator picks an easily identifiable target, recognizable to everyone then proceeds to expose Der Fuehrer's grandiose view of himself.

Compare this to the Family Guy musical number "Prom Night Dumpster Baby" which is either targeting the unwed teen mother or her unfortunate child. It's based on a single incident, although you would have thought there were several such incidents to deserve a musical number. Spoofing a teen mother's bad choice or the situation her child was left in is just creepy.

Haven't heard of it, can't find anything on it, must just be a concept in someone's fertile imagination at this moment.
