Aqua Teen Hunger Force’s low-bandwidth site


Aqua Team Hunger Force

Adult Swim is certainly known for their marketing brilliance. Taking the Boston debacle in stride, those wacky folks down in Atlanta hit another home run with their hot little promotional site for the new(ish) Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie.

Yeah yeah, movie sites are nothing new, but the little suprise here is the low-bandwidth version of the promo site. By utilizing design aesthetics from the wild wild web in the mid-90s, complete with the blinking Christmas animated .gif as a header, Adult Swim and their stylemasters always seem to have a pleasant surprise up their sleeve.

Web operating systems unfortunately haven’t caught on yet, but their time is coming, just you wait and see. With connection speeds and performance going up and the complexities many face with organizing their data across multiple workstations and mobile devices, the need for an easy to use and centralized OS is becoming more and more apparent. Desktoptwo is one of a few high quality web operating systems which provide some pretty intense features for the round sum of $0 (my favorite price). Along with 1GB of storage space which you can publicly share with others (file sharing, helloooo), you also have an integrated mail client and address book, web-based IM, office and collaborative apps and a public URL for which to host your personal Desktoptwo blog.
