The Tippexperience, viral mashup/copycat

Subservient chicken + Warioland // The Expendables + John West Salmon = The Tippexperience

Some will consider it as a copycat, others will take it as a tribute to famous memes.
Try "tickle" for example...

Disneyland Paris : They are coming

Great use of Facebook Connect by Disneyland Paris to celebrate the arrival of the New Generation in the French theme park. Pixar characters arrive on your Facebook wall. Nothing revolutionnary, but well executed, nice and entertaining.

Football on Valetine's Day?

And if you want to go even more trash for Valetine's Day, try this website by Puma. What do you do when Valentine's Day falls on game day?

The English version is nice. The Italian one... not sure I want to receive a video that from my boyfriend... looks a bit too menacing...

A touch of romance

If you don't take Valentine's day too seriously, you might have fun with Romance Novel Yourself. Silly but quite viral online application that let you or your partner star on the cover of a romance novel.

Give it a ponder

More or less one month ago, LG has launched a website to teach consumers the importance of pondering before texting. Bullying and harassment on the mobile are problems communities can no longer afford to ignore, therefore I really like the brand committement in doing something socially relevant and useful. It's kind of rare and therefore even more appreciated.

But I also like it because they used the website as a gateway to content on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and Wikipedia. It's a smart way of spending less in building the site, but it is also a smart way to connect directly to the environments where consumers are more used to spend their time and interact with.

Augmented reality sneakers

Probably, in my position, I shouldn't say that it sounds cool, but it actually does, so to stick to my editorial line, I have to post about it. In February Adidas will launch five sneakers that will activate a virtual world through augmented reality.

As explained on Wired, all users have to do is go to the Adidas site and hold up their sneaker, which has a code embedded in its tongue, in front of their computer webcam. A virtual world then pops out in front of them and they can navigate it using their sneaker as a controller.

It is surely a marketing gimmick, and the world in a sneaker reminds me of Onitsuka Tiger but, still, it's a pretty cool initiative that will generate some buzz online, at least among us, geek bloggers :-)

The Furnace Christmas Card

We decided that there is always one idiot who gets super smashed at the Christmas party... in our case it was JJ - one of our designers. It's all real booze the silly dude took for the team.
