YouTube remix

THRU YOU | Kutiman mixes YouTube

Recently a couple of colleagues have turned me on to Kutiman. A digital artist who remixes YouTube videos to create a new songs/videos.

Enjoy..

Cloud computing for God

Information Age Prayer

Ok so it's not technically cloud computing but I needed a catchy title. Let the power of the information absolve you of the responsibility of doing your own praying. Can we do an A-B test of prayer conversion from people vs. computers?

I wonder what Bill Maherererr thinks?

UNIQLO marches on

UNIQLO MARCH

Found on TheFWA.com

The quirky Japanese brand is back with another "unique" (oh you knew I had to) digital effort. This time they're asking you join in on a worldwide virtual march in a straight line.

So I'll spare you my industry perspective, put on my consumer hat and give you my 2c.

It took me a moment or two to get to the heart of what was going on here but the experience shows me a fun, slightly left of center brand. They stand for something(s)... they are the anti-Abercrombie, they stand for plaid, they stand for connecting people globally. RARELY, do I feel connected to a brand before I've seen any products. This is an exception.

So, advertisers take notice. YOU CAN build great branding experiences without smacking people upside the head with your product and sell line, or doing a "viral" video.

Now excuse me, I have to go march. Virtually. In Japan.

Edit (more Uniqlo): Dammit, I don't know how they keep up such great work at such a rate: http://www.uniqlo.com/uniqlo1000/map/

Vespa does Mapsup

Vespa Scooters - Community & Downloads - Community Rides

Yeah I called it a Mapsup. Mashup is sooo tired, map apps are just begging for their own call sign. So, Mapsup it is...I invented it, now everyone go use it. Tomorrow I launch my Mapsupable blog.

Oh yeah and this Vespa community rides thing is fairly cool too.

Great little piece from Advergirl on compelling brands. A couple of brands I might add - according to the metrics that Advergirl has set; Jeep (The Jeep Experience), Adidas Originals, Gain- the laundry detergent.
