Best Facebook Connect Experience Yet

An upcoming game called “Prototype” recently launched their promotional site with facebook connect baked into the experience.

Once you log in, it takes a few moments to log into your account but then pulls in profile data and your photos and begins to integrate them into the game trailer… sounds elementary but go see your personalized trailer and tell me it isn’t skin crawling to see your photos included in the storyline for a post-apocalyptic virus scare.   Check it out on the Prototype site; I really think this is the future of social integration and is definitely the most original and impactful Facebook Connect site I’ve seen yet.

Hulu Continues Its Takeover Of My Life

When Hulu was first announced, I was hugely critical of the hybrid startup/corporate mashup created by Universal and NBC but I was quickly proven wrong by its great interface and huge library of TV Shows.  The site has done an amazing job of providing great, fresh content with minimal hiccups in the service.

Well today, Hulu has surpassed even my expectations by releasing a beta version of Hulu Desktop.

Available on both PC and Mac, this provides a desktop-interface for perusing and accessing TV Shows and Movie on the site in a way that is compatible with your Apple Remote or Windows Media Center.  I haven’t tested it yet but from the demos Ive seen it looks incredible and exactly the kind of native platform integration a lot of users have been looking for.

Check out their demo video here:

Adobe UI

I’ve been spending a lot of time in Photoshop lately, so this site made me chuckle:  Adobe UI Gripes.

And Garrett pointed out a similar site called Dear Adobe that is equally as hilarious.

You kind of have to know your way around Adobe’s Creative Suite to really appreciate some of them but I’m a novice and I still think they are awesome.
