Cult.Urls This channel is your quick window onto the open web. It is a collection of RSS feeds (See WOW Glossary) that take the latest information filtering onto a selection of sites relevant to our industry. It displays a huge amount of information in an efficient way. If you like the look of a headline within a feed simply click on it to be taken to the source webpage to read more. Cult.Urls also has open links modules for latest sites of general interest and list of prominent bloggers whose opinions attract large readerships. You can add to these modules at any time. Unfortunately it is not possible for members to add RSS feeds. If you would like to add a feed please enter your request in the ‘Suggest an RSS’. This will then be picked up by a WOW administrator.
Playtime Playtime is a hands-on creativity channel. It will announce and showcase fun projects put out for anyone in the agency to participate in. Some of these projects will focus on individual expression but many will be based on collaboration. Some projects will be tailored to experience new technology or emerging social mechanisms. The one thing that all of these challenges will share is that they will be fun and easily achievable. Players can put as much or as little time into each project as they choose and still get something out of it.
An example project would be: Design and build the ultimate paper aeroplane. Cut, fold, research, experiment and accessorize. Put your own personal stamp on aviation. Test flights will be filmed in the Comm in two weeks and all the results posted on Playtime. Chocks Away!
Playtime will not be a permanent fixture on WOW. Challenges will be announced at random and you will only be able to see the Playtime tab when a project is live.
