A nice viral video to encourage your friends to get out and vote (if they were American, that is). Who knew it was all Christian’s fault?

We’re a bit late, after all she joined us a couple of months ago, but we’d like to welcome our newest recruit, the wonderful web designer Inayaili (thankfully she’s happy being called simply Lili). Inayaili came all the way from Faro, Portugal to join us and she is still getting used to the “freezing” English weather and London’s public transport. She loves making beautiful, clean, hand coded websites, and, as she says, it is done “always with a bit of love”. 

One of the main reasons that appealed to us about her was that she is thoroughly engaged with the web, its citizens and where it might be going next. Inevitably then you can find her all over the internet - on Twitter, Facebook, Delicious, Flickr, Friendfeed, Dopplr… everywhere!

She has also just been nominated as one of the web’s 25 hottest female web designers - a slightly dubious concept - but we’re proud anyway!

Mike Davidson from Newsvine talks about how anti-virus software regularly can create more problems than they solve. We have even had issues when users simply click on a regular drop-down menu - and then nothing happens.

We’ve been busy recently - we’ve also just launched the website for Jane Wentworth Associates. JWA are a consultancy that helps cultural organisations, like Somerset House, the V&A and the Natural History Museum, understand and clarify their brands. The website will be evolving over the next few months as more case studies are included.

We’ve been helping out our friends at HoweMello with their website. HoweMello are a brand new company focussed on using copywriting and graphic design to “bring brands to life”. They have worked with a wide variety of clients, including Colors Magazine, the Tate and Donna Karan.

Depressed by the credit crunch? Find Facebook too intrusive? Bored of iTunes? Like being lost without Google Maps? Drop back in time to 2001 with Google and remember the good old days of the internet (before it became really really useful).
