Throughout the presidential campaign, Obama proved that he is Mr. 2.0. From his Facebook profile, website community, Fight the Smears website, Twitter account, Blackberry use during his daughter’s soccer game, and his initiative to bring the first laptop into the Oval Office, he hasn’t stopped amazing us with his 21st Century style!

But, is that about to end? According to Obama aides, he is likely going to get rid of his attached at the hand Blackberry and probably won’t be sending any emails while serving as president. Why? Fear of hackers, fear of having a traceable device, and the fact that any emails the president writes are public seem to be the biggest factors. Bush stopped his cyberspace life when he took office, and it looks like Obama might, too. Would you be able to stay away for 4 to 8 years?

Are you  under the impression that today’s youth are not interested in religion? I beg to differ. However, I’ll admit that biblical stories may seem far from our reality at first glance. Here’s an initiative that shows how you can try to get a grasp of the Old Testament in a web 2.0 kind of way. (Yes, of course it’s on Facebook, where else would it be?)

This is just a playful way of re-telling the Genesis story. But who said that Bible stories always need to be printed on boring brown paper? Will believers be offended by this? What do you think?

I just came across an interesting website where you can “save your sensible“. Mine is fake, I’m sure, because I have the feeling that I don’t really have a sensible. In any event, if I had one, my guess is that it would be sophisticated and elegant, or at the very least aesthetic. It would be nothing like the ugly, green, amoeba look-alike one I got.

On the website, you can slap, drag, and poke your sensible. You can even give it some Happy Valley to drink and you can also add your sensible to your Facebook. There, it posts updates about your sensible. That’s not all, though. Every time a friend interacts with your sensible, it posts about that as well. How about yours? Is it sensible?

Did you ever wonder how people killed time before they had Facebook to distract them? Well, they had yearbooks for example. They could flick through them during long, dull winter evenings and compare other people’s noses and hairstyles…

Looking at these yearbooks decades later you’ll invariably ask yourself: would I have looked as stupid as that, with this amazingly ugly 50s/60s/you-name-it hairstyle? Well, here’s your chance to find out: on yearbookyourself.com you can travel through time. Have fun!

May is nearly over, so it’s time again to treat you to our blogbuzzter! The latest buzz is of course the launch of the

• “Sex and the City” film: Long-awaited, the movie will finally come to US cinemas today, and the most burning question of its fans will be answered: Will Carry marry Mr Big? Get carried away, guys!

• Levi’s backflip: Sport is in. Not only did we get to see Kobe Bryant stunt-jumping over a pool full of living snakes, but these guys also amused us by jumping into a pair of Levi’s. Hats off!

• Pork and beans: The latest clip by Weezer brings back all the YouTube stars that we met in the South Park video: Numa Numa Guy, Afro Ninja, Leave Britney Alone, Chocolate Rain, Daft Hands…

• Facebook in real life: What would you do if people you haven’t met in decades started poking you and leaving messages on your front door? Hmm… reality can be scary sometimes.

• The exotic buzz of the month: Not a pleasant occasion, but an encouraging buzz. After the disastrous earthquake in China a wave of support rolled through the Chinese web. Bloggers adopted a banner to show their solidarity with the victims, and during 3 days of national mourning all major Chinese portals sites appeared in black and white. Ever wondered what patriotism meant?
