Now dogs can tweet

My next dog will have a Twitter account. So silly but so cool this iPhone application which is about to be released in Japan: it translates your dog's barks into "human" language, and it automatically tweets them to the world.

Social networking for dog (owners). I'm curious to see which topics will generate buzz in the dogosphere... I know how crazy you can get if you have a dog. And you are a geek :-)

Creative QR codes

I'm not a big fan of QR codes, but this idea is worth being shared because it's smart and buzzworthy, at least among us, creative geeks :-) See Frisk mints in action...

CCTV Ink animation

I can't help but loving this great ink animation done for CCTV (a chinese tv channel) by Troublemakers. Superb motion and art direction :)

Fashion for dogs and ecommerce dogs (owners)

From Japan another great example of digital communication and a clear demonstration that the online media and online commerce are (more than) ready to support any brand or product (if the communication is done in the right way). Today we talk about dogs, fashion and ecommerce. The brand is called Free Stitch and produces clothing for small dogs. I personally hate the idea of putting a ridiculous cloth on my dog but I appreciate small dogs might suffer cold... and this website would definitely push me to buy something fashionable.

The experience is brilliant, with a gallery of "models" wearing the different items and the absolutely fantastic possibility to browse the collection by clothing or by "dog".

Hellicopter boyz

The Nikon Coolpix is a new digital camera that not only takes photos or video, but also can project images over a surface, a really geeky and cool feature presented in this cool (and geek as well) video from GT Tokyo, really "Otaku-targeted".

Running fashion by Nike

Who said runners can't be stylish? Nike Japan definitely thinks a running outfit can be styled. Check out iNDiRUN website to be inspired not only from a nice running collection but also by a very interesting interface.

The website is simple, it's clean, and it works well in showcasing the endorsement by the four celebrities featured in the photos. What would you ask more? An ecommerce module is definitely missing...

I love G3

From China a nice cartoon based website to promote a range of mobile phones.

In the super crowded world on communication around mobile devices, it's Interesting to see the approach this approach that mixes illustrations and a nice soundtrack simply to present a simple catalogue of mobile phones.

Happy New Year (in stop motion)

From Japan a fantastic stop-motion Happy New Year card from communication agency Elephant. Have a look, it's so cute! It also mixes the tilt shift photography technique.

Diesel preview rocks

Very nice work by Diesel Japan to preview the SS 2010 collection. The website presents apparel, footwear and bags but also gives an insight about inspiration behind the collection.

diesel_preview01.jpg

The music is very engaging and surely makes the difference (it's played by the band who won Diesel U Music) but also the navigation using the records is simple and beautiful.

Sony: Singing in the car

From Japan a super crazy and super cool campaign by Sony to promote a new vehicle navigation system. The idea is very simple an it is inspired by something we (almost) all do in the car when we drive with our friends or even by ourselves: we sing.

sony_car_singing01.jpg

The campaign is an online audition to pick the best performers singing in the car. Not only the videos get uploaded on Sony's website, but the best ones also will become part of the TV spot that will go on air as from mid-December.

This is definitely a perfect example of interactive TV content created with consumers help.

The Shisheido Manga

In Japan, Shisheido has launched a website featuring an interactive manga to connect with its young consumers. It's a kind of a weird experience for a Western European consumer as I am, but it's pretty interesting to see how beauty communication changes from country to country.

shisheido_manga01.jpg

To me, it's quite unusual to see a website for a beauty product without a single photo but again, it's a good lesson to learn. For global brands one size (one tone of voice/visual style) doesn't fit all.

Axe in the Dark

In Japan Axe is back with a new weird but cool campaign. Axe in the Dark is an amusing advergame inspired to horror movies full of monsters and with one hero who will (or could) rescue the girl. Everything takes place in a dark cinema hall: the player moves around with the keyboard, trying to avoid to meet the monster and, at the same time, looking for or, better, smelling for the hero who will save her. Make sure to use the hearphones to play.

Once again Axe manages to surprise us. For sure they don't lack in originality!!
