QR codes hidden in video




Very sweet indeed. Remeber the Pet Shop Boys? Well they are getting some buzz again with their new video and the hidden QR codes within. For us Yanks, QR codes are bar codes that contain digital information and can be read by cell phones. (For now, just european cell phones) Driving those who scan the codes to different urls online. Pretty nifty.

check out the hidden codes:

If you haven't seen Wine Library TV you should. Gary and team utilize the best of web 2.0. Here you'll find hundreds of webisodes on wine, an amazing resource and very entertaining. Gary's passion is definitely contagious. All i can say is kudos to Gary "VAY-NER-CHUK". I'm already a fan.

Social networking and life goals.

What a cool idea that leverages social media. Imagine getting support in social network to help you achieve your goals. As far as being useful, this might rank right up there with LinkedIn -- that is if you have goals! http://www.43things.com/

The experience is worthy.

This is probably one of the best sites I've seen in a while. It's truly an experience, between the interaction design, the music the high quality images. Awesome.

Favorite leisure activities among women

TV, Casual Gaming on Web Take Top Spots for Women

Not surprising, a good read.

Ads of the world.


Most creative people are inspired by what they see and hear. I came across this great site : Ads of the World

I've been to the site before but then forgot about it. I realized this time what a treasure it really is.

First of all it is great to see what marketers can get away with outside the states and secondly, it's just nice to see different perspectives on creative. Some of the stuff you'll see we simply couldn't get approved here in the US.

Enjoy.

World Golf Tour Online

World Golf Tour is worth checking out. It's an online golfing game ala most console/PC golf type games, but done using photography rather than entire 3D worlds. It's really nicely done. Fortune magazine had a full article about it here:

World Golf Tour Article

The article speaks a lot about how this game is going to have people slacking in the work place. After playing several times, i'm not sure that's entirely the case. Not yet anyhow. I'm going to keep watch for new features and social aspects that i hope appear. Making your golf team is great, but i want to be able to communicate on a higher level with my teammates. Maybe i'm spoiled though being a facebook junkie, twitter lover and xboxlive guy. Being a golfer, i'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one.

The game.

A great cause

Helping shelter dogs just became REALLY easy. For every photo you upload to this mosaic, pedigree will donate 1.00 to the Pedigree adoption drive. What an easy and great way to help! The Pedigree Million Dog Mosaic
