I came across a new Australian concept for a social networking site:
complementu.com.au
"A social networking interface connecting people who shared a moment. Despite age, sexuality, geographic location. ComplimentU is an outlet for positive comments guaranteed to put a smile on the face".
Interesting idea. Great website. But will it be popular in a world where every second startup is a new idea for a social network? Or on a web where every second site is some form of social network?
It strikes me that this site may work better as an app on Facebook. But who am I to judge.
Good job on the site - always happy to plug an Aussie web entrepreneur.

The World Wide Web, as we know it, is only 5,000 days old. Now, Kevin Kelly asks, how can we predict what's coming in the next 5,000 days?

My mate from WebManage told me about this fictional marketing campaign that 2 Sydney Advertising Agencies did to see if they could effectively sell ice to eskimos :)
Can you sell japanese whale meat to australians? Find out below
"Gruen Transfer, the ABC show on advertising hosted by Wil Anderson, includes a pitch from two Australian advertising agencies. The first episode, on May 28, had Jack Watts Currie and DDB Sydney working on a hypothetical brief: Convince the Japanese whaling industry that your ad will sell whale meat to Aussies as the perfect thing to throw on a barbecue."
Apparantly the #2nd vid by DDB won narrowly on the panel on Wednesday night and is leading comfortably in the online poll
Yay for whale meat!

To be Rickrolled is when browsing internet forums, one comes across a link in a thread expecting to find one thing, but ends up at a website which has nothing to do with the topic being discussed in the thread.
The name Rick refers to 80s pop singer Rick Astley. This refers to the ebaumsworld epidemic where people linked a "really awesome video" and it turned out to be Rick Astley singing "Never Gonna Give You Up."
How to avoid being Rickrolled
Rickrolled is an internet phenomenon which happens when a hapless internet surfer clicks on a link with a promising headline such as, "check out this vid of hot chicks in panties!". However, after clicking the link, you will be brought to the music video of the 80's pop star Rick Astley performing the song "Never Gonna Give You Up".
A video tutorial of how not to be rickrolled can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSsJ19sy3JI
Summary Answer
Rickrolling is a new trend in online posting, in which a link is apparently provided to a seemingly interesting source, when in fact, it is a link to a Rick Astley video, "Never Gonna Give You Up".
For more information, a video on the phenomenon is available on YouTube:

Why can't you make it through the checkout line without flipping through page after page of pregnant celebs in Us magazine? Alison Jackson knows why. And she photographs the people you think you recognize doing what you really want to see.
British artist Alison Jackson talks about her provocative explorations of celebrity culture. By making photographs that seem to show our favorite celebs (Diana, Elton John) doing what we really, secretly, want to see them doing, she's questioning our shared desire to get personal with celebrity culture. Funny and sometimes shocking, Jackson's work contains some graphic images.

Greens EFA, a coalition of two political parties that currently have 42 seats in the European parliament, have launched a pro-filesharing campaign named “I Wouldn’t Steal”. Their goal is to counter the anti-piracy propaganda put forward by the entertainment industry, and encourage people to download and share.
Whenever you rent a movie, the multinational media industry forces you to watch their propaganda. They claim that [downloading movies is the same as snatching bags, stealing cars or shoplifting]. That’s simply not true – making a copy is fundamentally different from stealing.
The media industry has failed to offer viable legal alternatives and they will fail to convince consumers that sharing equals stealing. Unfortunately, they have succeeded in another area – lobbying to adapt laws to criminalize sharing, turning consumers into criminals. They argue that their laws are necessary to [support artists], but in reality all they’re protecting is their own profits.
The Greens in Europe and worldwide has been opposing these laws. We believe that consumers are willing to pay if offered good quality at a fair price. We also believe that sharing is expanding culture – not killing it.
To protest against the faulty propaganda from the industry, we made our own film. The difference is – you can choose whether you want to watch this one.

The power of the internet has enabled a new conversation...
We are seeing a celebration of being normal, being an average person, being the people we all are.
I think we are seeing a decline of celebrity culture and a return to the celebration of our culture
A celebration of being just an everyday normal guy
With over a million views... this shows how much just being us is warming with the masses...
So the everyday normal guy is back

Did you know, placebo testing in science didnt exist untill the 1930s? Imagine testing the effectiveness of anything without a placebo comparison! This was a great step in the evolution of the scientific method.
Landmarks in the history of the scientific method are the invention of libraries, indexes, citations, controlled experiments, peer review, placebos, double blind experiments, randomization, and search among others.
Kevin Kelly (Founder of Wired Magazine) talks about the next 50 years of evolution of the scientific method and how important the scientific method is.... Fascinating
In the next 50 years, as the technologies of information and knowledge accelerate, the nature of the scientific process will change even more than it has in the last 400 years. We can't predict what specific inventions will arise in the next 50 years, but based on long-term trends in epistemic tools, I believe we can speculate on how the scientific method itself -- that is, how we know -- will change in the next five decades
