It’s an honor to have been nominated for two 2005 Webby Awards, for 10×10 and WordCount. 10×10 automatically selects the top 100 words and pictures in the world every hour, based on what’s happening in the news. WordCount is an interactive presentation of the 88,000 most frequently used English words, arranged side-by-side as one very long sentence.

Congratulations also to the other excellent nominees, including Google, The Tate Museum, The Design Partnership of Cambridge, and Trollback + Company.

If you’d like to vote in the People’s Voice Awards, you can do so here until April 29th. Thanks everyone for all your support and enthusiasm!

There’s this new form of homespun journalism, sort of like a radio blog, where people basically speak into a microphone for a while and then post their ramblings onto the web. Then people download these “shows” onto their iPods, thus the name “Podcasts”. Nathan Santamaria had a good NPR piece about Podcasts. ANYWAY, this one dude, Frank Edward Nora, talked about our mints on his Podcast the other day (starting at minute 23). His show is called “The Overnightscape” and he seems to put out a 30 minute episode every day. Cool stuff, Frank. Thanks for the mention!

Just caught this TV spot on New York 1’s Weekly “Trend Report” (Oh Boy!) about Oral Fixation. Looks like Beyonce uses our mints in the epic battle against Halitosis. Glad we could help, Beyonce! Fight the good fight!

Check out the TV spot here.

Henry, Jeremy, Eric and I created this blog, The Daily Fix, to give you a glimpse inside the world of Oral Fixation Mints. You’ll find our ramblings, our rants, stuff we’re up to, stuff our friends are up to, events we think you should check out, interesting things on the web, and just about anything else that suits our fancy. We’ll do our best to keep it a daily, but that might be a stretch. Feel free to chime in with comments on our posts. And if you’re ever in the Hopewell, NJ area, swing by the Chocolate Factory to say hello!

Best,
Jon
