Resonance - what to do next
A short film by Continuum called “Resonance,” talks about the importance of consumer insights in generating design ideas.

Adidas presents Teamgeist - Every team needs a jersey with a story
A jersey with a story is much more than just a jersey. It's a symbol for belonging, passion, expectations, ambitions. Every player, every team, every fan, should know this. Understanding this will make them stronger. But what if there is no story, no history, no identity.
Adidas presents the Teamgeist game. Every team needs a jersey with a story. The Mannschaft has lost it's identity and needs your help to win it back. Go back in time and recapture the team's three World Cup stars.
Absolutely stunning production, again, by North Kingdom. Germany is clearly ready for the 2010 World Cup. And I can add only one more thing to this and that is: There is only one true King, and he is somewhere up North, in Sweden. Remember The Smart Grid and Mentos Kissfight? No? Well, now you will.

I Want You To Want Me - a project of datagathering and information design of behaviour on dating profiles
The interactive installation "I Want You To Want Me", by Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar, commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art, for their "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibition.
I Want You To Want Me explores the search for love and self in the world of online dating. It chronicles the world's long-term relationship with romance, across all ages, genders, and sexualities, using real data collected from Internet dating sites every few hours.
I Want You To Want Me chronicles the world’s long-term relationship with romance, across all ages, genders, and sexualities, gathering new data from a variety of online dating sites every few hours. The system searches these sites for certain phrases, which it then collects and stores in a database. These phrases, taken out of context, provide partial glimpses into people’s private lives. Simultaneously, the system forms an evolving zeitgeist of dating, tracking the most popular first dates, turn-ons, desires, self-descriptions and interests.

Did you watch porn or did your mother?
Sure, your friends may share your love for burgers, or Star Wars, or even the Clippers, but without seeming creepy, how can you find out if they also share your love for French midget-girl-on-girl? By covertly getting even creepier, with Did you watch porn?
Did you watch porn? is a helpful/peculiar service that, via covert online methodology, determines what smutty sites your friends have been visiting and then informs you of that list, revealing their private inner desires/giving you new options that might not involve the words "bang" or "bus" or Red Shoe Diaries, Season Three. To get the knowledge party started, just put in your info and your friend's name and email address, and the site will give you a tinyURL to send them (or a form email that looks like spam -- your choice), and once they click, you'll then receive an email with a list of the smut sites they visit frequently, while the URL they've clicked on will reveal both those same links and what you've been up to, which'll be especially creepy when he finds out you're at a public library. You can also set it to post results via a Facebook ap; for all this spy stuff, DYWP's fairly crafty: instead of using a browser history or cache, it scours a master list of hundreds upon thousands of smut sites to determine a difference in clicked vs unclicked link color, making it impossible to cover up, like murdering your ex-wife and Ronald Goldman while wearing tiny, tiny gloves.
Since they troll by list, it's not perfect, and DYWP encourages users to send in sites they may have missed, because, creepy or not, there's enough NakedMidgetClippersFans.org for everyone.
