Twaggies – This funny and creative site is unusual in the most positive sense, offering original and totally hilarious illustrations and graphics, usually accompanied by sarcastic/downright funny commentary. Having scored the crown of the Weekly Blogs, Twaggies nailed the Weekly Fave spot last week and it’s also one of my personal favorites.
Twaggies does it right: a sort of a creative visual tweet generator, each post is short, composed of one illustration or visual creation, and you are invited to follow that visual’s creator on Twitter. Moreover, navigating through the site is easy and appealing; you can dig the archive, choose a category or click the Random Twag Generator for maximized entertainment. That is how I found this lovely visual, created by @xenijardin. Enjoy.
Lost in Val Sinestra – Another Facebook Connect movie creator, Lost in Val Sinestra is a scary movie with your Facebook friends as the cast. It’s beautifully done and it’s always cool to see your or your friends’ faces on the screen as part of a professionally made film. Enjoy.

Pintley is a first of its kind beverage recommendation tool, and at All My Faves we really loved not only the basic concept of the site, but also the presentation. Start rating the beers you already know and love, and gradually Pintley and the user community will suggest other beer brands you’re not familiar with, but will sure enjoy to have next time you go to a bar with friends. To learn more on how Pintley works, click here. See the video below for more information.

It’s as simple as that.
I gave it a try with a lesser known yet just as amazing Jonny Cash song Tennessee Stud. It worked wonderfully.

It was very difficult for me to choose just one movie to share with you guys, but I finally narrowed it down to the Italian movie, Notte Sento (with English subtitles), by Urban Team. You can also see the movie below. Enjoy.
Shit My Kids Ruined – Kids will be kids, and this is particularly true for the chaotic, draw-on-everything, spill-whatever-is-in-your-hands, phase young children are known for. Julie Haas Brophy woke up one morning to find out her little boy spilled a can of black paint all over her living room carpet. She posted photos of the mess on Facebook and she got reactions from all over. The next morning Julie decided to make an actual documentary-like blog of such mishaps in the house caused by her kids, husband and dog.
The result is Shit My Kids Ruined (or SMKR for short). Be sure to check out the shitmykidsruined.com domain in the future since the tumblr site might become obsolete sometime in the future. See some photos below of what it’s like in Julie’s house. I admire great projects that started out as an ordeal, and Julie has turned what other mothers would consider a continual disaster into a hilarious and fun thing. Go Julie! By the way, SMKR was also a Weekly Blog on our Blogs page, and users all over flocked to her site – she scored very high on popularity. Therefore SMKR made it to the Weekly Faves lineup.
Historypin – A cool collaboration between the social movement We Are What We Do and Google has produced this amazing project focused on an innovative documentation of our collective history. Combining Google Maps (both standard and street views) with your grandparents’ historic photograph and personal story, Historypin brings the young and old generations closer. According to their About page, “Historypin virtually requires you to spend time with someone from a different generation: young people need older people for the photos, and older people need young people to explain when to click and when to double click.”
The Historypin scene as the meeting point of generations is spectacular. The superb interface, the ease of the documentation process and the existing database of other users’ documented photos (over 10,000 entries!) make Historypin a first of its kind in terms of both concept and execution. See the photo of Sydney’s Queen Victoria Markets (posted by Rebekah), dated 1885-1915, with the site’s current appearance in the background. Absolutely amazing. Add your photos and tell your story so the young generation in your family will learn your family’s history. You will need a Google account to sign up and contribute to Historypin.
Life In A Day – Prepare yourself for a first of its kind documentary film, produced by the legendary Ridley Scott and directed by Kevin Macdonald, starring YOU! This amazing collaborative project with Google aims to create a collective documentary film, made up exclusively of footage shot and submitted by users. Here’s what you need to do: “On 24 July, you have 24 hours to capture a glimpse of your life on camera. The most compelling and distinctive footage will be edited into an experimental documentary film, exclusively produced by Ridley Scott and directed by Kevin Macdonald.”
To learn more about the Life In A Day project, check out this public document, and be sure to visit the YouTube channel for it. The finished film will be premiered sometime in early 2011. An announcement of the film’s exact premier date will be provided later on on the YouTube page. I bet we’re going to see some amazing stuff. Stay tuned.
