These are my links for August 18th through August 25th:

• 25 brilliant examples of Facebook brand pages – Econsultancy rounds up some of the better user experiences and brand experiences on Facebook, with great examples of integrated web content and call-to-action marketing. All to often, brands have extremely limited designs or interactivity on Facebook, yet with Facebook XHTML language, you can create micro-site experiences similar to a website. Back to basics web marketing. I ‘like’ it.
• The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet – Chris Anderson, author of ‘The Long Tail’ and ‘Free’, and Michel Wolff muse the demise of the web browser and rise in closed, app systems and economies for receiving content, and the implications for business and consumer. The growth in mobile doubtless fuels the app economy. Is the web browser dead? Anderson, a known futurologist, is a good trend spotter but the reality of the death of the web browser is greatly exagerrated.
