Central Station Antwerp Flash Mob

Just in case you missed it, this is the latest Flash Mob to get serious attention. No wonder, the choreography is excellent. The group gradually grows as bystanders seem to just 'decide' to have a go. Really seemless stuff.

Economist Turns to Mobile Marketing

In a bit to increase readership, sales and overall awareness, the Economist in India has turned to mobile marketing. With a dedicated mobile channel and a number of strategic sponsorship partnerships, the publication has achieved significant inroads. However, considering the recent explosion of the Indian mobile market this may just be common sense. Anyways, the case study is here.

cheers to Paul for this one, and Tomi whom he got it from

Double Aspect Ratio HDTV

I spotted this and had to share. It's a personal pet hate of mine when you watch tv and get any black barring. I mean come on, there is no reason why we can't operate to a universal standard (cinema wide-screen aspect ratio being my personal preference). Well it looks like finally someone has a solution to deal with two of the formats in use. Paris based company Studio FRST, has developed this Double Aspect Ratio 16943 concept, which can handle two viewing formats: a 16:9 format for cinema and 4:3 for television with zero black barring. Sweet.

Twitter Graffiti

cheers to Nick for this

Integrating Twitter and Google Search Results

Coming from a professional point of view, I find Twitter Search to be seriously useful. Without doubt, Twitter has become a primrary communication tool for the modern internet user, and to track and research brand opinion, it cannot be left out. If you want to get to grips with what people think, and see what they're talking about on a specific product or service you need to look at Twitter.

As a Firefox user I am always looking out for useful plug-ins, and this is one of the best. It will let you integrate Twitter Search into your Google Search Results. Twitter Search Results on Google will display the 5 most recent Tweets that contain your search query, with results showing up immediately above your search results.

Cheers to 10 Golden Rules for this :)
