Life in a Day
A few weeks ago YouTube and Ridley Scott announced a new project called Life in a Day. They asked everyone to record one day: July 24th. 80.000 videos were submitted to the project and YouTube just launched the official gallery which is viewable as a 3D sphere or a simple tiled list.

Vacationer
YouTube also launched a new branded travel channel. The new YouTube Vacationer travel channel includes videos with travel tips and advice from experts from National Geographic, Travel Channel, Howcast, and more. It features videos from Caribbean, European, U.S. and Canada, and “exotic” destinations. The interactive “Vacation You” feature allows you to create your own video for your dream vacation… Oh man… Watching these videos made me realize how much I’m in need of some vacation time… Until then I guess YouTube’s Vacationer will have to do… ;-)

Flash on!

Just about every week, I come across many cool sites and applications. To showcase these apps and sites, I’ve created a new category on my blog: The Gallery. The Gallery will be a place to showcase cool and innovative Flash applications and sites.

The HBO Imagine site is a great one to kick off this new category. HBO Imagine is an interactive movie. You’re not only the director in this movie but you also need to solve the crime. Great work by The Barbarian Group and BBDO showing off high quality Flash Video in a 3D environment.
