Why geeks don’t just rule the internet (We never knew that head-tracking was so cool!)
The internet is littered with ‘how-to’ instructional videos. They’re mostly created by amateur bloggers, bored teenagers or university lecturers and, therefore, are either poorly put together, incomprehensible to anyone of driving age or so obscure as to be meaningless. However, every now and then, something comes along that breaks the mould.
Friendster spoof likens the barren social media site to a lost civilisation.
According to this satirical video from The Onion, archaeologists have found ‘ruins’ of a lost internet civilisation called Friendster. You can imagine how the owners of MySpace, Facebook and (still revenue-less) Twitter might not find this as funny as the rest of us.

Is this what the magazine of the future will look like… again?
Over the past two weeks, we have published the Sun Newspaper’s parody of the iPhone ads (and other mobile alternatives to print newspapers), Time Inc’s prediction of what magazines of the future might look like and a fake (or real) leak of Apple’s new Tablet Mac (aka MacTablet aka TabletMac aka iPad aka Apple Slate).

If you like Funniest Home Videos (but are too ashamed to admit it), you’re gonna love this. Happy holidays Anthilians!
Okay. Because it’s the last Friday before we all switch off and get some well earned R&R, we’ve decided to break from tradition and post a couple of video clips that are completely unrelated to business and innovation. They hail from one of our favourite websites, FailBlog.org. This is one media outlet that you don’t ever want to be known for appearing on. (There are better ways to experience your 15 minutes of fame.) Enjoy and happy festive season Anthillians!
