Hit me on my iPhone

Have I mentioned here that I won an iPhone from Jack? How rockin' is THAT.

According to USA Today: "The FBI is retooling its Top 10 Most Wanted list into an increasingly multimedia, international appeal for help as it tries to keep its signature program relevant in a crowded media landscape....In the billboard deal with Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings Inc., which is donating the space, the FBI will get access to about 150 electronic billboards."



I am becoming more and more interested in digital signage...have you seen WGBH's integration of signage and its building?

Fantastic, engaging, unobtrusive....

The latest viral messaging - wildmessages.com - not nearly as good as Snakes on a Plane or the Dexter promotion...still I was compelled to send messages to Abby and Ben.

I love YouTube. This is Evanlina - and she is wonderful.

Saying more by saying less

I love this post by Slant Six Creative - it addresses the challenges digital media has brought forth to conversation:

"Modern communication has meant a breakdown in authority. Online comment systems and, more broadly, “social media” have given every individual an opportunity to not only have his or her voice heard instantly, but to have it given near-equal weight to that of the original author."

Their recommendation - let the fool have the last word.

Two Girls One Cup...

More phenomena of viral media - the latest buzz is not a video - but a video about the reaction of watching a video. So disturbing is the movie, that people's reactions are inevitably overblown, dramatic - and well, hilarious. There's a ton on YouTube - Eddy showed me this one which is a great example.

I'm starting to think that the people who made the initial video, made a reaction video just to get people to go see the other video. Eddy and Brad explained to me the content-- seems like it's The Ring for believing we live in a civilized society. Think George Carlin's version of The Aristocrats.

SciFi's promotional coolness for its mini series: Infinite Oz. A collaboration from nine international artists that not only brings to life the series but creates a unique experience of moving through OZ. Above is by Greg Petchkovsky.

The Internet Stars are Viral....indeed. Long, but definitely worth the trip down memory lane.

Dove Onslaught

Just brilliant advertising.

MIT hackers slipped into Harvard Yard and transformed the statue of John Harvard into Halo 3's Master Chief. Having received calls Monday eve from DMH waiting in line for the game, I post this in his geekiness honor.

Tina just made my day with this little ditty: http://www.endofworld.net/.

I love the web just for this kinda stuff. Sometimes we do not appreciate enough the amount of inspirational messaging for procrastination.

And so, with a visit to Leno and the now ordinary YouTube video - Fred Thompson enters the 2008 election race. The site, Fred08.com, is actually video heavy, employing the newer streaming technology often, and well. Kinda makes sense given his acting jobs doesn't it? Lead with the medium you know, and others know you from. Hands down it's a better site then Guiliani.

Are you kidding?


Third-party partner: "We'll just send out an electronic email."

Miss Teen USA 2007 - South Carolina answers a question

The Miss Teen video has been circulating for a bit now - so you've probably seen it. The site built in response however is worth a peak: http://mapsforus.org

Hilarious. (Who has time to build these things?!).

Another - really? I mean really??

Third-party vendor on determining RGB colors: "We're just not sure. We're holding swatches up to the monitor."

Green Tea Partay

The sequel to the hilarious Tea Partay video from Smirnoff. Not as good maybe, but it continues a brilliant viral campaign.

BERRIES AND CREAM!

This made my day...but it's even better watching Mas and Matty do it.

Another, are you kidding?

Agency creative director to our digital team: Have you heard of flickrvision? It's this really cool site.

I'm fairly impressed at the new Wendy's site - chock full of interactive goodies - some of which beg the question, who has the time for this? (Creating a song based on sounds from the Grill - "The Baconator"). Still, clever stuff - and a definite we are hip and cool brand extension.
