Twitter is taking a number of steps to enrich the conversation surrounding the World Cup:
[A special] section [of the Twitter site] highlights the key matches coming up as well as top tweets from Twitter accounts affiliated with soccer in some way. Notably, each World Cup matchup will get its own page and live-updating tweet stream about that particular game.
But the coolest thing may be the way you can show your allegiance to one team using a special hashtag. Twitter only hints at this feature, but as you can see, employees are already using it. In this tweet from Twitter’s Vitor Lourenço, he’s clearly rooting for Brazil, for example, and you can see the Brazilian flag in the tweet. How did he do that? Simply use the hashtag “#BRA”.

No strings attached. Misa Digital out of Sydney have developed this Touchscreen guitar that uses touch screen technology and open source software to push the physical limitations of the traditional guitar. Rock on!
(via Stella)
Some info from it’s creator:
My design aim was for a minimalistic interface, with configurability at the sound module end, leaving the instrument itself simple and effective.
That being said, the Misa digital guitar software is open source, and powered by the Linux operating system. This means programmers have the flexibility to modify how it works, and even change the interface to provide specific functionality. This is important because collaboration from the users themselves, experimenting and innovating in their own ways, will further improve the instrument.
The Misa digital guitar is a MIDI controller. It must be plugged into a MIDI capable sound module. The sound of this instrument is limited only by what you connect to it.
