Its bank holiday coming up so put your feet up for 5 min, read the Digest and Digi up.

1. Royal Shakespeare Company - I thought this was a lovely idea by the RSC to get the yoof of today interested in the old Bard himself. It follows the key characters in Romeo+Juliet playing out their tragic lives on Twitter no less. Each character has over 3k followers each, so its really successful. Thats an idea.

2. Airspace rebooted - The one thing about digital is the lovely way you can visualise the most trivial things to gain some sort of insight. Airspace rebooted has taken the 'Ash' zeitgeist and mapped out European airspace over the past few weeks. Just goes to show just how busy our airspace is and thus how much pollution air travel produces. Would have been a nice to see how many tonnes of carbon was saved.

3. Easy Jet Holiday Planner - Aaahhh, (sl)EasyJet, love em or hate em, they will be a constant in our lives it seems. They have developed a holiday planner app which helps you plan your holiday in a Facebook app, which you can then share with your friends. They plan to allow users to actually purchase tickets through the app at some stage. Begins to question the need for websites in the future with so many people spending ever more hours in social networks.

4. Mobile payment systems - Dont you hate it when a mate who owes you money says they will pay you back next time cos they dont have cash? Well it seems that might not be a problem anymore with new mobile payment systems. This article outlays the different systems allowing you to collect payment through your mobile phone. Just swipe your card through a simply attachment to your iPhone. Ace.
