It is amazing that they have implemented a complete website for comparing meerkats (I especially like the meerkat in Berlin wearing flippers). Not sure however how well it works as I have never visited the website it is advertising for… (but I do remember the name, hence it worked somehow).There are a lot of new ways for story telling on the web. I like the article by Jim Miller that was 2005 in the interaction magazine [1] that discusses a case study of web based storytelling and how it may evolve. It talks about how to create and unfold a story using multiple web sites. This is pre-facebook and I think the possibilities now are even greater. I wonder if based on this one could create a class project on web user interfaces.
