The best things on the internet, stuff you've said on social and who to follow
Welcome one, welcome all: it’s another weekly showcase of the very finest things to be found on the internet this week. We’ve also drawn together your most prescient comments on social media, and a handy list of the people you should be following online.

Hot Topic
Over the past few weeks we’ve had some heavy hitting hot topics: referendum reactions, anti-smoking design and some classic logo re-design backlash. In the favour of a more light hearted Friday, here’s you lot losing your shit to an invention which allows designers to detect font sizes and typefaces.
