JELLY SWARM: INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION FOR VANCOUVER AQUARIUM
We’ve seen cross-dimensional portals open up in movies, but how would an ordinary person recreate such a scene in real-life? Israeli artist Yochai Matos used hundreds of fluorescent bulbs to tear open the night sky for an awesome installation entitled Flame (Gate). We can only imagine the sense of wonderment we would feel if we randomly stumbled upon this.

Lingibli, a smartphone app that uses QR codes to help users learn basic words and pronunciation.
Based in Slovakia, Lingibli recently launched with an initial offering of 18 languages: German, English, Arabic, Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. The company’s free mobile app is available for both iPhone and Android. Working on the assumption that only 100 basic words make up half of all daily conversations, the company focuses on helping users learn 20 basic words and 35 phrases using multiple senses at once. A downloadable sheet of QR code vocabulary labels is available for users to cut up and affix to basic items around their home or office, for example; to hear the correct pronunciation of a particular item’s name, users simply scan the QR code with their phone. Lingibli’s label pages and basic apps are free; language packs with additional content cost EUR 3.99.
Lingibli offers custom branding options for travel agencies and other globally focused firms aiming to offer their clients and customers an extra service. Time to set your company apart with a like-minded brand butler offering of its own?

Facebook Like gets some friends.
Facebook announced that it will begin approving potential actions other than like enabled by its Open Graph in January, and developers who receive the thumbs-up from the social network can immediately begin publishing those actions.
In a post on its Developer Blog, Facebook said:
With the worldwide rollout of Facebook timeline underway, we are beginning the process of reviewing Open Graph actions submitted for approval. We expect to start approving actions in January and will post an update once we begin to approve actions in earnest. Once the action is approved, the person who submitted the action for approval will receive a Facebook notification, and the app can begin publishing this action to all users.
Facebook outlined the criteria for acceptable action items on its approval page:
Your app must publish actions that are simple, genuine, and non-abusive.
Simple: Actions must correspond to single verbs, and objects must correspond to single nouns. We will reject apps that corrupt the structure of graph by adding poorly named actions and objects, as well as apps publishing activity that appear to be requests.
Genuine: Your app must publish Open Graph actions that are based on actions that users take in your app.
Non-abusive: Do not mislead, confuse, or surprise users with unexpected posts. Action and objects must be well-formed and not violate our content policies.
For example, below are specific examples of things we are not a fan of:
Proof from zeus jones.
Many angles were considered, from developing a “host” character to making a brainy trivia game, but we decided the approach that felt the truest was making the app a tour of Scotland. For the identity, we came up with the name PROOF, a play on proving your knowledge of scotch, and also on the concept of alcohol purity.
