Inner City Youth, London "In 2002,
Simon Wheatley began photographing London's publich housing developments...and was able to obtain a level of intimacy with his subjects that provides a true picture of the daunting project of growing up in the intimate confines of drug use, societal neglect, and poverty."
This (Flash-based) narrated slideshow features Wheatley's work, and is a look at the culture...and also the music (
grime) "as an artistic response to the place and circumstance, an expression of the violence, bleakness, and neglect..." (via
Future Feeder)

Flickr! First launched during the week of no-metafilter, Flickr is a new kind of social software application (in the tradition of
Friendster or
Orkut) - but, after making friends and forming
groups, it actually gives you something to do! Created by a team led by Mefi's own
sylloge, Flickr is also a collaboration focused Flash-based application that allows you to share picture files with friends, comment on them and post them
directly to
your weblog. An exposed
set of services is also leading to a host of interesting
ideas.
