			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Covering a two week roundup due to holidays, so here are 5 great stories plucked fresh from the digital universe.</p>
<p><strong>1. Friend-a-Gorilla </strong></p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.friendagorilla.org/" ><img src="http://www.barryhand.ie/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/friend-a-gorilla.gif" alt="friend-a-gorilla" title="friend-a-gorilla" width="361" height="122" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-622" /></a></p>
<p>New campaign from the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.uwa.or.ug/" >Uganda Wildlife Authority</a> tapping into the rise of  conservation tourism.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.monitor.co.ug/artman/publish/news/Uganda_earns_Shs488_billion_from_gorilla_tourism_83515.shtml" >Gorilla tourism raised $225 million in Uganda last year</a>, serious business and this new campaign allows people to sponsor a gorilla from only $1 and track them online, check it out on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.friendagorilla.org/" >Friend-a-Gorilla</a>. They&#8217;re also on twitter <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/friendagorilla" >@friendagorilla</a> and have Facebook interaction. I like everything about this campaign, especially the way it uses social media to build a relationship.</p>
<p><strong>2. Google launch Fast Flip</strong><br />
<a target="_blank" href="http://fastflip.googlelabs.com/" ><img src="http://www.barryhand.ie/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Google-Fast-Flip_1254222631362.png" alt="Google Fast Flip_1254222631362" title="Google Fast Flip_1254222631362" width="610" height="527" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-627" /></a></p>
<p>New from the labs team at Google is <a target="_blank" href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/read-news-fast-with-google-fast-flip.html" >Fast Flip</a>, which lets you flip through lots of websites without visiting them. This is cool because you can basically create your own magazine, one to keep on eye on. <a target="_blank" href="http://fastflip.googlelabs.com/" >Google Fast Flip</a>.</p>
<p><strong>3. Disney launch blog</strong></p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://disneyparks.com/blog/" ><img src="http://www.barryhand.ie/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Disney-Parks-Blog_1254248814887-550x231.png" alt="Disney Parks Blog_1254248814887" title="Disney Parks Blog_1254248814887" width="550" height="231" class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-631" /></a></p>
<p>For a company immersed in media, Disney have finally got an <a target="_blank" href="http://disneyparks.com/blog/" >official blog</a> &#8211; which sets out to provide <em>&#8220;&#8230;the latest, official information about Disney destinations as well as behind-the-scenes looks at what makes Disney Parks the most magical places on earth&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p>From what&#8217;s already been posted up, there is a good mix of visual content and inside information.</p>
<p><strong>4. Google Wave Invitations</strong><br />

Google Wave allows users to manipulate and collaborate on content at the same time, in what is the most anticipated application of the year. Around 100,000 <a target="_blank" href="https://services.google.com/fb/forms/wavesignup/" >Google Wave invites</a> are due this week.</p>
<p><strong>5. Changes In the Media Landscape </strong></p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://digitologynow.blogspot.com/2009/09/changes-in-media-landscape.html" ><img src="http://www.barryhand.ie/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/google-doubleclick.jpg" alt="google-doubleclick" title="google-doubleclick" width="240" height="227" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-642" /></a></p>
<p>Nice <a target="_blank" href="http://digitologynow.blogspot.com/2009/09/changes-in-media-landscape.html" >roundup from Christian&#8217;s Digitology Blog</a> on changes in the media landscape with updates on Google, Facebook, Adobe and other heavy hitters.</p>
