Digital Analogue Check In Device
Over the weekend, I was thinking that it would be pretty cool if restaurants and bars had buttons or switches or something for customers to “Like” the place, or check in to Facebook Places or Foursquare. Sort of like that Bakers Tweet device, or the pizza delivery thing that Crispin had done a couple of years ago. Then I came across this today. An interesting installation on a...

Questioning Assumptions
There is a great article in today’s Ad Age that challenges creatives to ask for help. The author, Kevin Roddy is Chief Creative Officer of the awesome BBH, and he makes a very convincing case for the argument that, given the complexity of contemporary marketing, creative folks need to get off the high horse and solicit help. Technology and media are just too complicated But when it comes...

Location, Location, Location
I have been thinking about Facebook Places over the past couple of days. Though I have yet to try it since it has not been made available in Canada, I am interested to see how it differs from Foursquare. Or, more accurately, how I will use it differently, how brands might use it differently and how it might co exist with Foursquare. In my mind, I find it useful to view location based services...

Superb presentation exploring my #8 media axiom ;)
Motivation by Association
Just finished reading Bounce, a great book on the science of success. The author explores all sorts of hidden or underappreciated contributing factors to success, challenging the notion that some people are just born with IT. Among other things, this includes the Gladwellian 10,000 hours of practice idea, along with a range of cognitive behaviour type stuff to do with motivation and...
New Doesn't Replace the Old
The Web is Dead article has caused quite a stir over the last couple of days. Here is a very well articulated argument for the belief that it is, in fact, not dying, and that old media and old technology is not replaced by new media or new technology. Instead, they evolve and morph and co exist (see Rule #8. Though the author is referring to technology in general, the very same applies to media,...
Start Coolfarming?!
In Coolfarming, you’ll discover how to grow your own trends by creating an environment where COINs flourish; then—once a product has become established—extend the creative pool into a Collaborative Learning Network, or CLN, whereby a targeted group of interested people are brought in to learn the basics of the product, make suggestions for improvements, point out deficiencies, and push the idea...
Tweet Wisdom
My Twitter feed provides me with a lot of smarts and inspiration. Here are some links (no links) from the past week. @biz “Being right keeps you in place. Being wrong forces you to explore.” -Steven Johnson @thinktank To be successful a #brand’s story must connect with a larger conversation that’s happening in the culture. #ttnotes @iTweetArt ...
Underpaid Genius - Time Is A Cultural Artifact
In other cultures, time plays at a different pace, or seems unpaced, emerging like smoke from events, as opposed to being the metronome driving us forward. via underpaidgenius.com A lovely metaphor and contrast to describe the culturally constructed notions of time. Like most everything else that we simply take for granted, time is also a cultural “artifact. Questioning some of our...
Article: Lessons In How to Go Viral: Use the...
I like this thought from Jonah Perreti,CEO of Buzzfeed, on what you need to do, and who have to appeal to in order for your content to spread. “the web is ruled by maniacs,” and content is more likely to go viral if “it helps people fully express their personality disorders.” Couch potatoes don’t rule the web, he says — “crazy people do It has to be slightly odd and a little insane to appeal...
