Pangeaday -
This idea shows us how the internet can be best used to benefit society at large and make the world and even closer and smaller place. The trailer used on this site is quite dramatic and shows life on all continents of the world. The concept of experiencing life and culture through images and videos on the net is remarkable and I would indeed keep checking on that website for their updates on global events. I'm not much of a video person yet but I will be making a trip to Ireland next month and will consider to upload my trip video...

Web 2.0
Wow, I visited http://www9.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/wildcamafrica/
and was surprised to see there a live video feed from Africa- too bad it only works with Real One video player. I had to download the player specially to view this page and I just don't like those programs taking extra memory on my PC. However, the behavior of this page is great! I loved the nature sounds I could hear and the live cameras kept my curiosity as to what animal might show up in front of the camera next. I like the mix of media on the page between videos, text and photos.

I visited www.csszengarden.com to get some inspiration for my own future web page and here are 2 of the designs I liked:
1. This design (click here) by Timo Vertanen has nice cold colors and I liked how the image behind the text integrates so smoothly with it. I also like the rough edges on the right of the page.
2. This design (click here) by Andrew Brundle is really cool! While you scroll down the page, the one line images of music scroll with you- it makes you feel like there are 2 layers of paper that you are looking at and through the holes of the first page you can see snippets from the 2nd page.
