I think I saw this once upon a time but just stumbled across it again. Probably the best rap song/ video ever created, I give you the SEO rapper.

Every now and again you see a new effect or bit of javascript on a website that makes you go OMG! or if your not a teenage girl you just say wow, today I saw just such an effect. vimeo have updated there site to include a really simple but stunning little bit of background animation. Head over to the vimeo site and scroll down to see what I’m talking about. Now we just have to wait for a jQuery demo to hit the net then we can add all sorts of floating backgrounds to our websites. I think we’re going to be seeing a lot more of this in the future.

Is the fold really dead?

This post by Sam Brown on Twitter earlier today got me thinking. Sure it’s easy to say “There is no fold” but could modern browsers help the fold make a come back? (shiver)

A lot of modern browsers seem to be adding a feature where users can see a snapshot of selected websites upon opening there browsers. Safari call it top sites, Opera Speed Dial and google Most visited. This new feature is great for quickly scanning websites to see if they have been updated but they reintroduce the fold, only showing the top area of the page without a scroll bar. If the big players in the browser market Internet Explorer and FireFox introduce such a feature maybe the fold could rise from the dead?

I visit the internet browsers stats page probably once a month and every time Microsoft seems to be losing ground to Firefox. It looks like Microsoft is trying to remedy that situation with this set of quirky ads created to promote Internet Explorer 8. If superman says it’s good it must be true, right?
