thesixtyone

I’ve been tracking thesixtyone for a bit. The first version of the site matched social gaming with music discovery. The newest incarnation has taken a slightly different approach one which is more discovery focused with a mix of simple challenges called quests that encourage you to listen to music and gain reputation points.

The part I love about the new design is the simplicity and richness of the interface.

NEAVE – interactive awesomeness

screen-capture-30screen-capture-31

There isn’t much that NEAVE doesn’t have. It is a bounty of interactive goodness from games, to bizarre aggregation of vids, to interactive experimentation. The project is the brainchild of Paul Neave. What I enjoy about experimentation like this is the way it provides curated experiences that can be engaging, perplexing and entertaining all at the same time. Plus some of the elements are embed and spread – space invaders anyone?
