Dutch Display Ads
For Some Reason Facebook thinks I'm Dutch and keeps showing me Dutch ads. Funny thing is I kinda like them.
These two Heineken ads are stupidly simple but extremely eye-catching.
Then on the other hand, you have these two Vodafone ads. A lot more going on, with a huge amount of interactivity, but all of it geared towards a direct response online sale. Brilliant work - take the website and bring it to the customer.
Facebook + Election Canditate = Problems
This was covered fairly extensively in some of the National press but a lot of people seemed to miss the story entirely. Don't get me wrong, if this was an ordinary Joe Public I'd be the last to republish the story, but they're not, and I feel that this is a prime example of the pitfalls that the unsuspecting can encounter when it comes to Social Media.
Emma Kiernan, one of Fine Gael's rising young stars found herself in a spot of bother when a photo of Ms. Kiernan out with some friends hit the press. I don't think there's much to say, it's all fairly obvious. If you're running for election, at any level, bear in mind who is taking your photo, and what you're doing in that photo.
The stupid thing is, that in the grand scheme of things, this is a completely harmless and innocent picture. In my honest opinion all it does is show that she's twenty-something girl who goes out and has a bit of fun with her mates. She's not obviously drunk. She's not smoking or doing anything illegal. Seriously, I don't really see an problems. In fact if this was the worst picture that anyone had of you, I'd be pretty happy!

The Beatles: Rock Band
My love of Guitar Hero and Rock Band is no secret, and I've posted about both before. Forget all of it - everything that went before. Those games folk have truly done it this time!
The Beatles: Rock Band
Basically every song is amazing. You will know every song, be able to sing to every song, and if you can play a real guitar then you can probably play some of the songs. This is the music game for everyone. This is the game that gives you the chance to become the greatest band that ever was. Experience the Beatles’ rise to fame, as four English lads took on the world and won! Become the band and make music history.
Whether you play as John, Paul, George or Ringo, this game will blow your socks off. The real fun, however, come when you get your mates around. This will be the first game to offer harmonies, custom-built models of the instruments and awesome graphics that document the key moments in Beatle history.
Confirmed songs include:
- I Saw Her Standing There
- I Want to Hold Your Hand
- I Feel Fine
- Day Tripper
- Taxman
- I Am The Walrus
- Back In The U.S.S.R.
- Octopus’s Garden
- Here Comes The Sun
- Get Back
And this is the amazing intro video for the game:
