Two months without a single post, so why not get back in with something nice and easy. Right? Right. Besides, I guess I have a good excuse- got married, went on an amazing honeymoon, and have spent most of my time since then trying to figure out what it is I do again.
Anyway, I figure many people are having similar internal debates abt Google+ now though I doubt it’s as entertaining. Good break for your afternoon.
Another hilarious production made possible by xtranormal. This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while, and absolutely worth reposting. As much as I fall into Apple fanboy mentality sometimes, stuff like this is a good reminder to shake you back to reality of how annoying it can be to those who don’t buy into the madness (for more on that, see The Onion’s brilliant ‘Apple Friend Bar’).
And, the fact that this scenario probably isn’t too far from the truth in many situations is an amazing reminder of just how much people buy into this brand.
For better or worse.
Enjoy.
The latest in the generally great Search Stories series from Google. And another great example of the enduring power of film in creating and sharing stories. While I’m not a father and perhaps can’t relate exactly to the tension and emotion being conveyed, think it’d be hard not to feel something from this no matter who you are.
Well done, yet again.
By now you may have seen that Google has begun rolling out a slew of new features and additions to it’s search functionality worldwide. Though they may have been in the works for a bit, timing wise it seems like a direct response to some of Bing’s claims of superiority. Personally I was never blown away by Bing to begin with, but given Google’s track record of innovation, I would expect this to be just the first in a string of updates.
Very curious to see how msoft responds (and what the response to the response will be).
Not surprisingly, reaction to Google’s decision to air a spot during the superbowl have been polarized. My own initial reaction was mixed, and while I had seen the spot before and liked it, I immediately questioned the decision. While some estimates show the spot gained about 600K views overnight as a result, I really wondered why Google had broken from it’s past philosophy on TV advertising, and what exactly they thought they would really gain from this when they absolutely dominate the market for search.
(In case somehow you missed it before, during, or after the Superbowl, here it is for your viewing pleasure)
OK fine, it’s not really from Google. But how great would it be if it was?
Pure awesomeness (and that’s coming from an iPhone tool).

This has been making it’s rounds today since Google shared this morning at Advertising Week in NY. Great collection of interesting and unique digital ideas from both Google and just across the web. Worth a flip through, and a fantastic reference to keep on hand.
