Foursquaropoly

Remember those long nights next to the fireplace playing Monopoly. Now remember these fights you have to grab the mayorship on Foursquare? Now combine both and you'll have Foursquaropoly.

Developed by Sean Tiraratanakul, Deanna McDonald and Jaclyn Shelton, Foursquaropoly takes location-based check-ins/information from Foursquare and gives players the ability to buy and sell properties as well as collect rent from other people who check into their properties just like the real monopoly. If you ask me it sounds like a great way to make Foursquare even more addictive and give it a greater longivity.

3,000 bottle caps come alive at night

Did you ever wonder what a massive billboard with 3,000 Newcastle Brown Ale bottle caps and a single light source might look like. Thanks to the ad agency Vitro and artists Ellis Gallagher and Pablo Power, your wish has been granted. Shadows cast by the meticulously bent, stacked and arranged caps form a creepy/cool face and a ghostly arm reaching for a glass of the brew.

This impressive piece, designed to illustrate the duality of the beer's dark color and light taste (the "lighter side of dark," as the headline), is one of three branded art projects that Newcastle unveiled in San Diego this summer.

Marco Tempest: The magic of truth and lies

It has been quite some time I did not write a post, this because I tweeted and posted Facebooked  a bit too much. So I didn't have time to write a proper blog post. After viewing quite some videos, none really struck me as super Wow.

Until this weekend ... I am a great fan of the different TED talks. Talks that tell a story or a fable are to me the most inetersting ones. Without further due I offer you this new Talk:

"Using three iPods like magical props, Marco Tempest (a little bit more about him here) spins a clever, surprisingly heartfelt meditation on truth and lies, art and emotion."

So allow yourself to be deceived, lie to yourself for a bit, and you'll be open to enjoy it.

Play snake in any Youtube videos!

Well today I'll not write about something funny or about marketing, but rather about a nice time waster/feature present in all youtube videos. Do you remember the game snake that you had on your first Nokia mobile? Well personally I was completely addicted to that game. I remember taking my dad's phone, yes at that time a 14 years didn't have any mobile yet, and just playing until my fingers hurt.

Well now I discovered the same choice while waiting for a youtube video to load. Just choose any videos, while you see the little circle of loading appear in the middle of the video:

Just click on any of the arrows from your key board and you are set to start a game of Snake.

Enjoy, www.youtube.com
