Here's a great article on what we can expect online in the future, a whole new way that data is used : check it out here

Social Networking Vs. Content.

Great article at AdAge. Since the 90's content has always been king online and even though the social revolution has been getting all the buzz the past few years, it's interesting to see where things really lie.

When It Comes to Time Spent Online, Content Trumps Community

Echo Gets Adopted

We do a lot of interactive work for Pedigree and this is a big part of the offline campaign. Enjoy.

Make a clickable facebook t-shirt. (What?)

Add to friends gear, it's a facebook/QR thing.

QR Codes Go Global

Here is a great article over at CScout on QR codes. It's pretty much everything you need to know (for now). QR codes are a really exciting marketing opportunity for interactive, retail and marketers in general. We're probably just ahead of the curve as far as implementing a true QR campaign, but hey -- it's good to dream and prepare, the day will be here very soon. QR Codes go global.

Online Hearing Test

This has been cruising across the advertising blogosphere. It's an online hearing test from the Norwegian Red Cross. In just 3 minutes you can find out the status of your hearing. Check it out here, well done.

A Package That Lights Up the Shelf

Packaging that lights up and looks like a mini lava lamp, pretty cool. NXT is a new product hitting the shelves with some ingenious packaging. I'm actually surprised that there isn't anything else like this on the market. Here is the full article: A package that lights itself up

Shave My Yeti.

Polartec just made me laugh and i thought i'd share the fun. This isn't a new site, but it's still a good one. The whole scenario with him running through the park is just ridiculous. It's a must see.

Shave My Yeti.

Great TV Spot

I was reading another blog where the writer posted a bunch of military recruitment ads from around the world. For me this was definitely the best one. The more you watch it the better it gets.

Gaming and real life.

Check out how super cool technologies end up in video games. Also, find out where else the technologies are being used. In the end, a lot of the technologies we see in video games have lives outside the gamers realm.

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:

Wine Library TV

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.

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
