The site, in 2007
Uniqlo's free clock widget for blogs, in which dancers in Uniqlo clothes perform to music in time with the clock.
Its music was by Tomoyuki Tanaka of Fantastic Plastic Machine, and its four dancers were picked at an audition. Made by the agency Projector Tokyo, it won the Cyber Grand Prix at the 2008 Cannes Lions.
In 2007: Launched on 15 June, aimed at the world's bloggers, with a dance screensaver following a few days later.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Weird Web: One page, one joke, no reason. The internet at its best.
