The eyes of the world are on Cape Town today, when the final draw for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ takes place in the city ...

While the whole of South Africa gears up for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, there is a quiet stream of creativity slowly climbing to the surface of South Africa's streets that has nothing to do with football. Throwing off its unfair reputation as a surf & safari destination, the uprising country is undergoing something of a cultural renaissance.

From the slew of art galleries, design and furniture stores vernissages and festivals in Johannesburg, Durban or Cape Town, to independent record labels like Pioneer Unit and African Dope and artists like Gazelle pushing the boundaries of local music, there's something in the air.

We at Unlike Media celebrate this day with kicking off our fresh & green project for 2010 - deep down south, ready to explore ... welcome to 2010.unlike - exactly six months before the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ kicks off.

No other city is as romanticized and fetishized as Paris, from Marie Antoinette to Napoleon, Edith Piaf to Godard, Moulin Rouge to Serge Gainsbourg ...

"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for all of Paris is a movable feast,"

In São Paulo, adversity feeds creativity: factories and prisons become arts centers, traffic jams result in an ever-growing trade in helicopter rentals, rooftops are transformed into luxury bars, designers launch collaborative shops, graffiteros revitalize decaying buildings and, at underground clubs, DJs spin away till well after sunrise.

What started with vino tino and tostada de huevos de codorniz in Barcelona turned into a full-fledged love affair with the city of Barcelona.

Vienna surprised us even more with an artist's haven of a place, offspace, that we would have never expected to find in Austria's capital.

After few stressful weeks hovered over the computer, we sojourned to peaceful Copenhagen and recharged at one of the city's foliage-filled gardens.

Suddenly, we found ourselves with three more cities on our radar. Barcelona, Vienna and Copenhagen: countless of hours collecting, testing, and editing. We're taking a little weekend vacation now--we've earned it.

We're pleased to announce today that Unlike just got a bit smarter to where you are, when you are, if you'll forgive our pigeon English.

Why? We've teamed up with our friends over Berlin-based Plazes, which allows you to map out where you're going--and have your friends meet you there. In their own words, "Plazes is a location-aware service, connecting you with the people and places in your vicinity and all over the world." So kindred spirits, if you will: Even our headquarters are just 'round the block from each other in Berlin-Mitte.



So how does this work, exactly? It's pretty simple to use - sign up for a Plazes account, and when browsing through berlin.unlike.net, click on the "Plaze me here" icon on the right hand side of the description.
All of your contacts on Plazes will be automatically informed as to your whereabouts, saving you from sending pricey text messages or dealing with the "the-music-is-too-loud-whaaat??"-conversations that are bound to happen when late-night reveling.
