Hurts: an interactive audiobook experience using Spotify to promote their new album

Hurts

I just ran my first path in the recent launched campaign on Spotify to promote Hurts' new album, and I must say I'm utterly inspired by this.

Read this:
http://www.spotify.com/int/blog/archives/2010/08/30/hurt/

Then this:
http://www.informationhurts.com/gb/news/2010-08-31/hurts_soundtrack_interacti...

And start on Spotify by listening to this:
http://open.spotify.com/track/5kgTNMMDhTN1FJQlxjj37O

Enjoy. 

 

Update:
Oh, here's my first path I ran, didn't got so far:
Hurts, first path

XD Inspire - Transforming the Magazine Experience with WIRED | Adobe TV

via tv.adobe.com

So yeah, Wired & Adobe team up to reastablish Wireds' raison d'etre. I have three remarks:

1. It looks like a computer. It's an interface I have to actively control. Why is it still designed as a magazine?

2. All those controls and features I have to discover. Please stop with those hidden surprises and gimmicks. I want to read a magazine goddamnit!

3. Advertisements a integrated really well. Wired needs to be careful, readers should know when they are browsing / discovering a commercial or editorial piece. Again, this is becoming a gray area...

Is ChatRoulette the Future of the Internet or Its Distant Past? -- New York Magazine

via nymag.com

Still amazed by the viral effect a random connection can have. Chatroulette is weird, awkward but interesting, curious and fun at the same time.

Read the NYtimes interview with the 17yr old creator for more details.

Oh and as stated:
"Parents, keep your children far, far away."
