That&#8217;s where <a href="http://www.glassbooth.org" target="_blank">Glassbooth</a> comes in! Using some of web 2.0&#8242;s buzzword technologies, <a href="http://www.glassbooth.org" target="_blank">Glassbooth</a> walks you through a quick and simple quiz, where you&#8217;ll also determine your key points of interest in this year&#8217;s campaign. Doing the quiz myself and having a few friends do it, we were all pretty surprised at the accuracy of the results, accurately recommending to us the candidates we were already supporting. </p>

<p>Everyone with a digital camera has had photos that just had to be deleted. Blurred, boring, out of frame, blinking strangers, the list of reasons is endless. Now, instead of deleting them outright, revive them, by contributing your photos to Deleted Images, a group dedicated to bringing undesired snapshots back to life. What may be junk to you, may be art to others. </p>

<p>According to the Great Firewall of China web app, Bunch of Nerds is one of the many many many many sites blocked in China. Which is really depressing, cause, I really like China! Naturally I&#8217;m not so hot on the human rights abuse, the perverted form of commutalistism, the mad amount of industrial expansion and the pollution which follows it, but, still, I&#8217;ve never done wrong by you China, why does it have to go down like this? </p>

<p>South Korean mega-social network Cyworld has launched in the US, bringing another avatar-based social system to the already crowded US market. Cyworld is a giant in South Korea, with reportedly 90% of the population under the age of 20 registered to the service, which is a market share I doubt they&#8217;ll ever see here in the US. Cyworld ties in a web-game with social networking, allowing the user to create their own personalized cartoon avatar and Minihome to personalize and invite friends to visit. There is even an in-world currency (not currently present in the US version) where users can purchase more Cyworld Currency (Acorns?) in exchange for real-world currency (not sure if that works vice-versa). I unfortunately don&#8217;t see this service taking off stateside, as their reliance on the younger market just doesn&#8217;t translate over to the US and with services like MySpace and Facebook currently struggling to define themselves in the youth market, it makes it that much rougher for Cyworld.</p>

<p>The designavists over at Yay Hooray have started a huge thread of traditionally mainstream or &#8220;famous&#8221; logos being re-designed to be more web 2.0. There are quite some gems and a hell of a lot of aqua and gradients going on, but man, the ABC, Citi, and Nike logo re-imagines are good stuff. Thanks to a Digg of the thread, we&#8217;re getting a lot of interesting gripes on what web 2.0 is and isn&#8217;t, which is almost as entertaining as the actual redesigns themselves!</p>
