There are many ways in which to socialise today. Facebook, Twitter or Google+ are common among people all around the world. Sharing short texts, videos and photos is popular. But not only that.

Congratulations to Shani and Samuel, our contest winners of this week (see all entries of contest week 2 here). Shani makes us aware of the fact that not everybody might notice and care about bad kerning.
