How screens could be used in the future
With the rising popularity of touch-screen technology in recent years (and I’m talking more than just iPhones and iPads), one has to stop and question how this technology could enrich our lives in the future.
The video below is a sensible insight into how interactive screens can be incorporated into everyday life to enhance our own lives, facilitate greater levels of communication and build relationships.
The great thing about the video, is that it’s not revolutionary and radical, it’s realistic…and quite fascinating. Click play….and don’t drool too much.
The Simpson Intro Created With Lego Dudes
You’ve probably seen a million and one spoofs of The Simpsons introduction. It’s hard to believe that the coolest one ever, made with Lego dudes, was made by a thirteen year old kid huh.
Double Rainbow Song – Auto tune at it’s very best
The popularity of auto-tune (that robotic voice effect that is all Cher’s fault) has been a disgrace to modern music. Until now.
Tim Costello’s Old Spice parody for World Vision
There’s already been a bundle of attempts at spoofing the Old Spice ads that have failed miserably, however Timmy Costello has successfully created one that I think is almost funnier than the original. Onya Cozza!
Best of Breed iPad Magazine Apps
If all iPad magazine apps were as good as this one , I’d actually consider buying an iPad. Til then though, I’ll continue borrowing my mate’s to play with the plethora of ‘beer in the Darwin’ (aka ‘cool for the first 2 minutes’) apps.
Have you seen an iPad magazine app that is as good, or bettter, than Sports Illustrated? Leave a comment below if you have.
Facebook the movie
Does anyone know if this is for real? It appears a tad lame to me….
I’d consider going to see this one though…
Like a boss
Anyone who has rubbed shoulders with the world of corporate heirachy will enjoy this viral video – it actually reminds me a lot of dudes from Flight of the Conchords. This vid has been around a while, 32 million views is nothing to sneeze at. Happy Friday….enjoy.
Creative uses for Adwords
Brisbane-based digi-comms agency Memery have raised a few eyebrows today through some rather crafty (and rather unconventional) use of the humble Google Adwords platform.
Anyone remotely interested in the future of Australia will be aware that rather shockingly, earlier today the current Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was ousted in lieu of Australia’s very first female PM, Julia Gillard. Of course, Australian and international online media is being swamped with commentary and opinions related to the event (in fact our new red-headed PM was rated in number 1 position in today’s Twitter trends). What better way to capitalize on such a hot topic, than to run a Google Adwords campaign for a completely unrelated business such as The Diet Plate. Check out the first “Sponsored Link” in the screenshot below for Memery‘s creative tongue-in-cheek use of Google Adwords to benefit their client.
If you’re interested in reading more about this campaign, you can read it on Matt Granfield’s blog. Touche’ Matt, you’ll put me out of a job soon mate.
