There is no doubt some awesome stuff come out of Microsoft’s Research and Development department but when it comes to handling data and organisation Microsoft falls short against Google and Apple. But as we can see from the video below their new data organisation engine looks like it could be a real game changer. This sort of technology is great at finding what information you want and cross referencing it with other information, I can see this being a real game changer for Wikipedia. This sort of application is very dynamic and could be incorporated as a web app allowing live information to be accessed anywhere in the world with automatic cross referencing. You can download the application today on Windows here.

If you want to blog you’ve got an array of tools you can use including WordPress and Blogger. If you want a forum your best bet is PHPBB and if you want a Virtual Learning Environment you have a strong selection of powerful services including Moodle. But what if you need to create a website fast due to a budget or time limitations. I know you can create Pages in WordPress but you can’t create the site without a Blog.
Why are there no successful control panel based PHP Publishing Applications? Think about it… you could create your site fast with custom themes and plugins and your clients can just jump in and make changes as when and often they need them, now I know what you’re thinking it would kill the Web Design industry surely? I don’t think so, people will still need themes and plugins and anyone who wants a website with a little innovativity will have to pay up and have it built in the old fashioned way.
Let me know what you think or if I’ve overlooked a service in the comments!

I’ll keep this short and simple because I know you just want to play it. Big Pixel have one kick ass site! You play as Big Pixel and collect the coins, sounds simple enough but with the combination of applying it into there main website and the smoothness and stylish destructive environment it makes for a brilliant website. Also if you collect all the coins your in for a Big Surprise.

This awesome site features a small city built in PaperVision3D Away3D is built to promote F.One’s Kite Board – Bandit3. A little over the top and irrelevant for a Kite Board but I’m not complaining the designers Expressiv made a fantastic piece of work although I was unable to get any of the videos to play.

I hate Sony, especially there Vaio laptops that run just as powerfully as a turtle on a running wheel, but when it comes to advertising in their Bravia department they have come up with some of the best ad’s out there. There website is no exception a beautiful site with lots of content but it’s also kept clear and clean with some awesome Flash and 3D work. The site is designed by Carlos Ulloa who develops for the PV3D Platform and also brought us the Absolute World site I featured a few days back. The guy is a great designer and developer alike.

This game is awesome! I love Unity as it is! Unity is a up and rising platform which can bring brilliant 3D content to the browser at unchallenged frame-rates. This game LEGO Star Wars: The Quest for R2-D2 is truly awesome, the game is a 3D platform game in which you play in a 3rd person camera view. You collect diamonds and use your Jedi Master powers to kill bad guys! It may be kids game but I could and probably will play it for hours! Great demonstration of the technology and great game to accompany it.

Anyone who loves Flash for full on Web experiences should have heard of Disturb Media, based in the heart of London Disturb Media create some of the best examples of design on the web. I haven’t been on there site for a while but hey to me this is all very new, very sleek and best of all very cool. The site features there previous work including the awesome, Twigital that I featured earlier this month! The site background also constantly changes which may seem like a minor feature but it’s the little things that make this site really special. The thing I love most about this site though is the animation between the pages is simply beautiful.
