As the first presidential debate of the US election kicks off tonight between President Obama and Mitt Romney Tumblr is teaming up with the Guardian.
On its ‘Tumbling The Election blog‘, Tumblr and its team of GIF artists are planning to crank out instant animations of the best debate moments.

I noticed the line, “Lana Del Rey is beauty Instagrammed”, as part of a 12 page spread on the ‘Video Games’ singer in the October issue of GQ.
It was celebrating her position as GQ’s Woman of the Year (as part of its Men of the year issue).

A blog post on the official Webmaster Central Blog last night announced an updated version of the Quality Guidelines.
William Hague has been the most active foreign secretary we have had on Twitter and this week he marked his 100,000 follower milestone by meeting five of his followers for a discussion about foreign policy.
The meet the Foreign Minister sit down follows the news last week that Prime Minister, David Cameron, is finally set to join Twitter.
It is, albeit in a small way, another sign of social media making its way into the heart of government.
Monday saw the coming together of a group of activists from the worlds of business, academia, politics, farming, architecture and denim.
I don’t think any of them would think of themselves as activists though…just individuals who have decided to approach business a different way, with social channels and tools underpinning much of what they do and how they do it. They were gathered to share their actions and stories for the inaugural Meaning conference, curated by Will McInnes author of new business book Culture Shock.
Described as ‘a handbook for 21st Century business’ it showcases organisations from across the globe that are making a change, an impact on the people who work there and the world. Read More
