Here we go. Google launches its first UK 60-second ad to promote search and mobile.

The follow-up to last year’s “Parisian Love” (see below) uses the strapline “Search On” and is the first in a series that will be hosted on a special YouTube page.

Some songs for the weekend

Posted: June 20th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Digital, Music, Social | Tags: , , | No Comments »

I was asked to pick a tune for the Summer 2010 #tapedtogther project a few weeks ago. I picked a few for a playlist but ended up going back to them loads.

There’s stuff in there from people like: Broken Bells, The xx, Air France, Saint Etienne, Faunts, Wave Machines, The Tweleves, Wolf Gang and Two Door Cinema Club. I thought I’d share them here in case it’s your sort of thing too.

Download here:

Please support the artists and DJs if you like what you hear.

Big thanks to SashaPaul and Dave for some of these gems. If you’re at Glastonbury you can hear Sasha closing the Glade stage on Friday night, and the Cosmonauts are on in the Glade Lounge on Saturday afternoon. Get involved.

Pass it on if you like it…. This will only be available for a limited amount of time.

One balloon and a couple of evenings after work — Dyson engineers show how inducement and entrainment works on the Air Multiplier™ fan.

You can do this yourself – if you’re willing to spend about $30,000 on fans.

Twitter adds World Cup hashtag icons

Posted: June 11th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Creative, Digital, Funny, Social, Web | Tags: , , | 2 Comments »

This little thing popped up on Twitter recently. A small icon next to a hashtag. Kinda interesting and opens up lots of possibilities for them.

- Will they start to categorise more big events?
- Is this how Promoted Tweets might work?
- Shows group opinion well and makes the stream easier to scan read
- Rewards people that use the Twitter website instead of a 3rd party client

Nice touch from Twitter.
