Make A Social Network From Your Phone Bill

http://skydeck.com/

Analyzes your phone bill and who you call the most to build a social network for you. It's supposed to uncover your "true" social network and help reduce your phone bill...not sure about that, but tracking client calls and how much time and money you spent on them can definitely help with expense reports.

What interested me about this product was the social network graph, being able to visualize your contacts, but I'm not sure this is part of the product -- anybody used it and know?

Picnik - online photo editor

This could be the future of many apps - access them from anywhere with a login. It would be great if you could also have access to your media everywhere...this is the advantage of storing your photos on online services like Flickr. Anyway, I like this app for editing-- it looks great, they took the time to design it well and make it fun!

- Kind of like a simple, browser-based Photoshop for your online photos
- Crop, resize, and rotate in real-time
- Tons of special effects, from artsy to fun
- No download required, nothing to install
- Free! (Upgrade to Premium for only $24.95 a year)

Mr. T1: "I pity the fool who don't use a T1!"

Check out this hilarious project from my buddy Jonah Brucker-Cohen. (with some help from Jeff Crouse)

Basically it's a widget written in Processing that detects your internet connection speed, and if a speed is detected that reflects that of a T1, the system then plays one of five random samples from Mr.T's world famous repertoire such as "I Pity The Fool!" or "Don't Give Me No Backtalk Sucka!", etc... Picture yourself using it at the internet cafe and sticking it to all those bandwidth suckas...

Jonah's a fellow at Eyebeam right now.

Free InDesign Library - Wireframe Elements

Here are some useful wireframe elements I put together to share. Feel free to grab this file and add your own stuff to it. If you have any great items you want to share, please send them to me so I can add them!

This library works on Adobe InDesign CS2 for Mac and Windows.

I hope Interaction Designers who haven't tried InDesign will do so now....I prefer it to Visio any day.

Feel free to leave comments/suggestions.
