Unsigned band, The Bribes, have just mildly annoyed about 4,000 Facebook members. Trading on the tirade of abuse that 2012 logo is getting, the band set up a fake facebook group. And then in a dastardly turn akin to the butler in Scooby Doo removing his mask, revealed that it was a ploy forContinueContinue reading “fakebook – it’s only rock ‘n’ roll”

greatest hits – pass it on
I feel a bit like Girls Aloud being asked to do this by Philippe as I’ve only been going since March this year and therefore a few single releases being cobbled together to make a greatest hits album. Anyway, I’ll mix my album with a bit of what’s popular in the charts [people have readContinueContinue reading “greatest hits – pass it on”
tube reads
This is a great idea. I hope it catches on & gets rid of the people at the entrances to tube stations who shove (literally) the free papers at you. Can’t they have nice baskets for you to pick up at your leisure like the Metro? Books are great. I look forward to findingContinueContinue reading “tube reads”
social media gone wrong
It’s always a struggle to get your hands on good and bad examples of corporate social media type things when in deck mode. This iMedia article has them both including the Wal Mart debacle and the PSP fake blog cock up. As an addendum to that one, apparently they thought the only reason itContinueContinue reading “social media gone wrong”
talking, not quite walking
Recent review of marketing manager type folk from Forrester shows that the old ways are still prevalent and that while there’s lots of discussion and good intent, trial and actual usage is still a way behind. In a candid chat with a former marketing client a few weeks ago, she let me know that herContinueContinue reading “talking, not quite walking”
hopes and dreams
Round up of social media launches. Beautiful example with Members Project from Amex by Digitas in US (disclosure time, I am Digitas London now, the artists previously known as Modem Media) allowing cardholders to share their project ideas, vote and then the best bit, Amex puts the project into reality. A great example of gettingContinueContinue reading “hopes and dreams”
i couldn’t resist
This mash up is just too addictive. Here’s two more. Boom! Wise words
spam the monkey | episode 3
This time Spam must make a choice: will he turn to the dark side? See the mash up video here. Created using the new mash up tool on the updated Star Wars site. Hours of fun. Previously on Spam the Monkey: episode 1, episode 2
page 3 girl gets poked
Facebook has over-taken that bastion of Britishness, the currant bun (for those across the pond, cockney rhyming slang for the Sun). Impressive growth for the social media network versus sport, boobs and er, more boobs. So, plus ca change? What would be more interesting is to extrapolate this out to users AND readers ofContinueContinue reading “page 3 girl gets poked”
tonking with twitter
I finally gave up and started twittering yesterday. After all, gotta be in it to win it. And all day today it’s been down. I liked the lol cats though, they make it a little less annoying. But surely people will port their twits to other places if this continues? After all, we’ve shiftedContinueContinue reading “tonking with twitter”
