facebook – why check-in anywhere else?

McDonald’s have just teamed up with Facebook to be the first brand to offer their new location-based service. While Foursquare stats are being touted aplenty of late with a million users and 40 million check ins, the numbers are dwarfed by the Facebook behemoth. Facebook is HUGE. It’s ingrained in our culture, language and behaviours.ContinueContinue reading “facebook – why check-in anywhere else?”

frijj swamp soccerettes – mad, but good

I’ve always thought drinking Frijj was like drinking gloopy, chocolatey mud. And now with their sponsorship of Soccer AM, they’ve created the Swamp Soccerettes. Girls, mud, football. Mad, but what’s not to like?  And a bit of augmented reality thrown in too. The campaign comes alive in the Facebook space, so much more than theContinueContinue reading “frijj swamp soccerettes – mad, but good”

tweets from the sky

Liking MySkyStatus – a new service from Lufthansa (via Profero in NY) that sends accurate departure, altitude and arrival updates to your Twitter and Facebook pages while you’re up in the ether. In the culture of now-ism that we’re firmly embedded in, this is an innovative and useful piece of content. Thanks to Nick ClarkeContinueContinue reading “tweets from the sky”

what’s stopping the URL land grab on facebook?

Remember the court cases that went on around brand protection and ownership for URLs? Is the same thing about to happen with Facebook? As of the wee small hours on June 13, you will no longer be a number. You can be a name. But you’ve got to get up early to make sure youContinueContinue reading “what’s stopping the URL land grab on facebook?”

office flashprank, friday may 22

Staplers in jelly as famously shared in The Office. The late, great Mick Costella taping up everyone’s phones, changing homepages to bukkake.com and stroking your thigh in the biggest pitch meeting of the year. Writing “cock” on the back of Iestyn’s chair and photographing it for his bio for a client presentation. This kind ofContinueContinue reading “office flashprank, friday may 22”

video cards from skype

e-cards are so last year. v-cards are the way to go and you can do it with Skype. And what’s better it’s integrated into Facebook so it’s far simpler to share with your chums than trying to remember email addresses like with most apps. I like it. Find out more on the Skype blog. ThanksContinueContinue reading “video cards from skype”

i like live guy

This is Vodafone Live Guy. Live Guy is visiting 11 cities (well, he’s visited a few last week but I was just OOO for too long to write this) until the end of this week. Each day he’s giving away a Dell pooter. How do you get your paws on one? Find him using allContinueContinue reading “i like live guy”

anti-social networking

Great Facebook application for the new film How to Lose Friends and Alienate People about journalist Toby Young’s adventures in NYC with Vanity Fair. The book was very funny so I hope the film does it justice. Deface your friends, un-friend them, cheat at scrabble and lots of other things to undermine social networking. FirstContinueContinue reading “anti-social networking”
