The magazine may be giving you the top 20 reasons to be in 10 territories across the globe – including Argentina, Canada, China, France, The Netherlands, Portugal, South Africa, Sweden, UAE, and USA – in our November issue (on sale now) but on Wallpaper.com, we’re looking at an equally magnetic territory: the web.
Teaming up with Nicolas Roope, founder of digital agency Poke and chairman of the Lovie Awards (honouring the best of the European internet), we’ve curated an edit of the top 20 things about the virtual landscape, from ingenious online, iPhone and iPad apps and cutting edge retail ventures, to addictive blogs.
But, they’re not just our choices. To cast our nets wide, we sought tips from the Twittersphere too. And you came back to us in numbers. Fresh from this Twitter-fuelled online adventure, we bring you our definitive list of the 20 best features of the web.

Passend zur Ausstellung hat unsere Film- und Musik-Experten von A+O Medien eine kleines, zum Teil überraschendes Sortiment an Filmen zum Thema zusammengestellt. Darunter auch “Waltz with Bashir”, der mit dem verfremdenden Stilmittel des Animationsfilms die Vergangenheit der israelische Filmemacher Ari Folman erzählt.
