Link Love: 2.12.09

February 12, 2009

1. Twibs is a registry that helps you find businesses on Twitter. And, if you run your own business, hurry up and claim it!

2. If you run a fashion-based business, this article about how and why you should use a PR agency is a must read.

3. The real story behind the famous Keep Calm and Carry On poster.

4. I’ve given this concept some thought before, but never knew what to call it…there are two distinct kinds of bloggers (career bloggers vs. those who make livings indirectly from their blogs) and this article does an amazing job of summing them up.

5. I’m so not making this up! Burger King has a line of designer t-shirts.

6. Some rich people just don’t understand that the rules of privileged society have undergone a radical transformation.

7. The Esquire Cover Gallery lets you search its archive of magazine covers dating back to 1933! Esquire has some of the most iconic covers ever.

8. The (mostly) true story of Helvetica and the New York City Subway is a fascinating essay about the New York City subway system, transportation signage in the 1960s and Helvetica. (via bianca alexis)

9. These photos taken in 1962 in Paris are totally captivating. (via Ruby Press)

10. Arabic versions of retail identities: photos taken in Dubai malls of the signs of commonplace brands.

   Wow, all those pictures from Paris are so candid and charming…Although I skipped through the meat rack ones rather quickly. Thanks for posting

   great links.

   i have the Keep Calm poster, i bought it from Barter Books a couple of years ago. i loved that article, and i so agree that it’s kind of zen (albeit in an incredibly popular commerical success kind of way, hehe). i think the simplicity of the design is just perfect, and it’s that which makes the poster so popular, though people probably don’t realise it. good design is invisible, right?

   those Paris photos are amazing, and Very Paris might say.

   that Esquire gallery is such a trip, it’s interesting to see how the magazine has changed over the years. it seems like they don’t make much by way of iconic images these days. (just suited, squinting men and scantily clad ladies.)

   Haha is it totally wrong that I want one of those burger king shirts? The text one with the list of burger ingredients? We don’t have BK here in Australia so it’d be totally cute. <3

    I realy like your famous release! Could you accomplish the college essay as example? Because I do know that a good essay writing service would accomplish well researched term papers of good enough quality.

    I could have missed this one, but I’m so glad I didn’t!

    As I mentioned, I love the Problogger articles you’ve featured, but this one really touched a need I felt while reading them – where is the advice for who-bloggers?

    I want to start an art-featuring blog, along the lines of the art section of Coilhouse or like form is void… sifting through a heap of “get money”, “get money”, “GET MONEY” articles get a bit draining after a while. The articles are still good, I just find myself wanting something a bit different.

    I know this is an old post, but could you recommend me a metablog that isn’t aimed at making money (maybe even one aimed at artsy blogs)?
    Google only offers “how to find good free images for your blog” .
