The Gmail viral collaborative video is out

And the Gmail collaborative video is outRemember that call for entries a little while ago that we told you about? Google's Gmail team decided to put together a little project and wanted to give people a glimpse behind the scenes of Gmail. The whole premise was to show people passing a red and white envelope from left to right. Well now comes the time when all videos that were submitted have been chosen and stitched together and released for viral public consumption.

Over 1,100 video's were submitted from 65 countries. Check it out here. Also, check out a Google Maps mashup that displays where some featured clips were sent in from.

Origami Project: A new mystery from Microsoft

Origami ProjectThe question of the day is, "What's origamiproject.com?" All we know is this: It belongs to Microsoft and appears to be a part of some viral marketing campaign. Currently the web site has nothing but an ambiguous AT&T-esque message that says, "Hello. Do you know me? Do you know what I can do? And where I can go? Or how I can change your life? You will.

There are "Week 1," "Week 2," and "Week 3" buttons, but currently only Week 1 (the above message) is enabled.  Some fingers are pointing to a similarly-named handheld prototype that National Semiconductor demoed at COMDEX in 2001, but I'm skeptical. Conveniently, origamiproject.com has an RSS feed that'll presumably notify you when "Week 2" is enabled. What do you think Microsoft is up to?

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.
