Handful of Nothing

You were arrested in a foreign country by “no reason”… What do you do? you twitter “Arrested” then all your friends will call your embassy on the country you are to set you free faster than a bullet.

I can’t imagine a better publicity for twitter than this :)

Ad ons video
Also, from my friend Marco Gomes the “impressive” demo from videoclix : here. Ok, are we coming back to hand (manual) indexing?

And last but not least:
I will do some publicity myself : http://www.hulu.com/ , While I do like the amateurish videos from youtube, or even the “to hell with ip” content I must admit : hulu.com looks just sweet. Oh god, I like clean designs :)

Not because it was filmed in my previous city, but it’s a great ad. Even more if you know the city.

This, great pockets, jealouscomputers and take the internet for a walk are examples of the amazing work to promote Nokia.

Congrat to the agency(ies) behind those!

Well, remembering the old web days this site by wunderman is so well executed that deserves a detailed look at. This site is part of a bigger campaign for Coca cola zero.

Old news (september) but a good case for bluetooth ads lovers out there. This text talks about bluetooth ads in supermarket and says something pretty interesting : approximately 25% of Dutch clients leave their Bluetooth on. If you felt some music with this text, try this other one, a report about how effective mobile ads will be part of successful campaigns and not so useful by themselves.

So, now you have your fancy PVR and the best thing about it? You can skip ads of course! This is giving some big TV the creeps and the thing will just get worse for them. What to do then? Well, there isn’t a definitive solution or way to force users to see the ADs, but this patent claims a way to use the fastfowarding to display ADs (without sound).

I really want to see what is going to happen in the next 25 years on the media field. Some big changes is coming and you don’t need to be a guru to realize that.

Well this levitron video is just great (not so great for our geek needs, as we are not able to buy one here in brazil) but the second video from toyota has a nice idea but is 100% creppy. Dude I’ll have nightmare with those japanese dudes inside cars! And that seat belt? Hell no!

When I saw this I realized why I can’t be a creative director: I would approve that. Nasty, gore! Should be on rotten.com LoL.
Copy says: “Seek revenge”. The Ad is for a seafood Restaurant called Goa Portuguesa.
