Popular science - Chrome webstore
So, I’ve had this for a while but thought it was worth tumbling.
Popular Science have released a special edition Chrome webstore app. It’s just nice to see people doing cool stuff and bringing the joy of a magazine to the screen and breaking some of the rules like deep page scrolling on articles and parallax movements etc.
Well worth checking out and best of all, this in depth edition is FREE.

A gorgeous demonstation of the capabilities of current web browsers.
This shows the clarity we can get in 3D imagery using webGL and javascript.
UNICEF: Donate A Word
Another great charity concept. Miami Ad School have teamed up with UNICEF to create the Donate a Word campaign which utilises the google spellcheck feature in Google Chrome and asks you to donate a word each time you make a spelling mistake.
These words then aggregate the “EDUCATION” statement with the worlds most commonly miss-spelt words, directly helping to fund education for kids in need.
It’s been created to bring awareness rather than asking directly for money, which is a nice touch. And it will come embedded in the next Chrome browser update.
