Ikea Facebook Tagging
7 12 2009There’s not much I can add to this, as the video says it all, but the folks at Ikea came up with a brilliant use of Facebook technology to do something new, innovative and incredibly awesome. Check out the video for yourself and see how they leveraged a community’s willingness to participate with everyone’s love of free stuff to generate an enormous amount of buzz about their efforts.

Live Video Stream & Twitter Integration
10 11 2009Jarvis Cocker is a British musician probably best known as the former frontman for the band, Pulp. He is currently (as in now through tomorrow) set up in the London Underground for a series of ongoing performances that are being streamed live on the Web. Interesting idea from a publicity standpoint, but from a design and web perspective, I’m more interested in the integration of the accompanying Twitter feed. I’m starting to see more examples of these across the Web and believe they’ll become even more ubiquitous as marketers strive to get more real-time conversations happening around their brands.

Interactive Visualizer of the Recession
10 11 2009The New York Times brings the unemployment rate into focus with this engaging piece. Turns out education, along with race and sex, plays a large part in whether or not you may have kept your job in this economy–not that anyone would necessarily be surprised by that.

Guerilla Marketing: Best Of…
9 11 2009
From a blog I listed last week as one I turn to for frequent inspiration, Francesco had outdone himself with this compendium of 80 terrific guerilla marketing tactics. As a big fan of street art, I think there is a very fine line between it and guerilla marketing. I also find it interesting that one is commonly accepted while the other is often looked upon with scorn (admittedly, I’m not a fan of mindless graffiti scribbling). I guess society finds corporate messaging more palatable than artistic endeavors.

Effective Use of Twitter
6 11 2009In my opinion, many companies and individuals (myself included) struggle to put their Twitter feeds to good use. While it wasn’t a use of their own feed that makes this video interesting, it does relate how one company, P.F. Chang’s, capitalized on the real-time nature of the medium to make one customer a fan for life. And if Twitter is capable of doing that for P.F. Chang’s, who’s to say it couldn’t do something remarkable for your business, too.
