It’s one of these times that you find a website that you like. You add it in your bookmarks, you watch all its videos, you buy the book and you even buy one of its notebooks. The 99 Percent is not about ideas.. It’s about making ideas happen. It started in 2009 as a conference and now is a website with videos, articles and tips on how to make your ideas happen.

The creation of 99%, which was launched with our inaugural conference in 2009, sprung from the belief that, as creative professionals, we often focus too much on idea generation and not enough on execution.

There are several inspiring videos on 99%. Seth Godin talks about quieting our fearful “lizard brains” to avoid sabotaging projects just before we finally finish them. Jack Dorsey talks about Twitter’s success and Threadless founders say: The Do-First Work Ethic. Take a look on the 99% latest videos.

Stop thinking and start making this brilliant idea come true!

I guess that most of you have noticed or read about the change in Flickr‘s logo.. Yahoo recently added “from Yahoo!” next to Flickr logo in order to enhance its brand through this very successful image and video hosting service. What yahoo did is very reasonable and it might help the company’s brand. Apparently this action is a part of its new campaign. Why Yahoo chose only Flickr and some others and not all of its websites? For example Zimbra and Delicious, two very successful websites, don’t have a yahoo logo in the header or the footer. I can understand that the audience of Zimbra is much different than the one of Flickr but Delicious focuses on the similar target market that Flickr does. Interesting..

Yahoo has several websites, services and divisions. It is quite difficult to have a uniformity across its websites but it is important. I navigated through several Yahoo websites and I noticed that there are some differences in the logos (old red and new purple) and in favicons (the small icon next to the web address). Yahoo has several logos: ‘a Yahoo division’, ‘a Yahoo service’, ‘this is Yahoo’ and ‘from Yahoo’. Why all these different? Some of them in the old red and some others in new purple.

With favicons, Yahoo has not a uniformity across its websites. In most of them we see the new purple Y! and in some others the old red one.

I like that Yahoo has a very modern logo. I also like that on the web purple means Yahoo! and they chose a unique and rare color instead of using blue that most companies do! But.. They need to pay more attention in uniformity across its websites..

Blog Action Day is an annual event that unites the world’s bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day on their own blogs with the aim of sparking discussion around an issue of global importance. Blog Action Day 2009 will be the largest-ever social change event on the web. One day. One issue. Thousands of voices. October 15, 2009

The theme of this year is “Climate Change”. I think that it is overused but still important.

We encourage you to write about climate change in the context of how it relates to the topic of your blog. To help you start thinking, here are a few ideas about how you might connect climate change to things that you might already write about:

• A Technology or Business blog might write about emerging clean tech and how innovative companies might be able to help address the problem of climate change.
• A Health or Lifestyle blog might write about how climate change will affect our children’s health and daily living.
• A Nonprofit or Political blog might write about how climate change is deeply connected to many other issues – such as poverty and conflict.
• A Design blog might write about new trends in eco-friendly or sustainable design.
• A Travel blog might write about the places you want to see now before climate change makes them difficult to access or, well, under the sea.

This is also a great opportunity for companies in Sustainable Business industry to participate, promote and support this ‘online event’. ImNikos.com will participate in Blog Action Day! These are some very well-known blogs that will participate too.

Do you know Squidoo? It is a company that Seth Godin founded and “gives you a simple way to gather, share, and spread information on a topic you care about.” Visit the Squidoo.com and create your lenses! “Lenses are pages, kind of like flyers or signposts or overview articles, that gather everything you know about your topic of interest–and snap it all into focus.”

Two days ago, Seth Godin and Squidoo launched the ‘Brands in Public‘ which is a great way to track all the information (from various sources) about a brand. Why this is important? You can now easily focus on a brand and see what’s the buzz about it. There are many different groups of people that can be interested in this website such as the actual companies, fans, customers, competitors and many more.

According to Seth Godin: “You can’t control what people are saying about you. What you can do is organize that speech. You can organize it by highlighting the good stuff and rationally responding to the not-so-good stuff. You can organize it by embracing the people who love your brand and challenging them to speak up and share the good word. And you can respond to it in a thoughtful way, leaving a trail that stands up over time.”

Take a look on Brands in Public and find your favorite brand. Today there are 99 brands in Public! Here you can find some of them.

Since I can remember I have always been amused by all forms of creation.
When I was a little boy I dream of becoming a science-fiction film director.
As a 33 year old, I believe that by using available means, we are able to make every idea that comes to our minds happen.

“When there is a will, there is a way” – whenever you use advanced technology or a pencil. What matters is the initial idea and the process of its creation.

This is a brilliant and very easy idea. There are some ideas that can be too easy that nobody thinks about them. Umbrella Today is one of these ideas. It is a very simple website. The user just put his or her Zip Code (US only) and asks if he has to take his umbrella. The possible results are two. YES or NO! Check it..

Tomorrow in San Francisco we will not need an umbrella!!!

Down for everyone or just me?

This is the simplest way to check if a website is down for everyone or just for you.. It is so simple but quite smart!

Did you know there are 42 good things you can do with the Samsung Omnia mobile phone? You can discover each one of them by watching 42 short videos on the dedicated website. Yes, I know, at first sight the idea of watching 42 videos sounds a bit boring and frustrating, but if you give it a try, probably you will change your mind, as I did.

“Changing The Way You Fly“, developed for Air New Zealand. The site introduces passengers to new advances in the way flights are handled, ranging from self check in, scanners that allow passengers for self boarding at the gate, through to USB and iPod connections on Tasman/Pacific flights.

Visitors to the site can choose night or day views. Move the mouse to each part of the scene to hear the appropriate sounds: didgeridoo for Australia, drums for the Pacific Islands, sheep and birds in the New Zealand country and lawn mowers in the city…

The site includes social networking/bookmarking links for Digg, MySpace, Stumbleupon, Facebook, Delicio.us, Google and Yahoo. Sensibly, Air New Zealand have made the content available in both Flash and HTML formats. Source: The Inspiration Room
