One of the downsides of communicating in text is that it is often difficult to get the tone of your message across.
An online movement is trying to address the most important tone of all — which is sarcasm of course.
Watch the videos, sign their petition, and bring sarcasm to your online community…
Google Goggles

Google Goggles is a mobile application that allows consumers to photograph reality and gain instant results via Google on their mobile phones. The application has the technology to be able to identify virtually anything from landmarks, to business card information, artwork to the translation of foreign text. The video below helps detail this.
Coca Cola and KRAFT social media
August 8th, 2011 · Claud · No Comments
The way we use social media is constantly evolving. There are some really interesting examples of the way brands are enhancing existing technologies to make them more engaging and relevant to their consumers. Many brands have grasped the concept that we do not want our online social space invaded with direct selling, but rather an enhanced social experience – making us increasingly aware of the brands on our wavelength.
Coca-Cola Israel’s users have been sharing their Coca-Cola Summer Love experiences using an innovative facial recognition app.

Giant globe illusion in Paris
August 5th, 2011 · Paul · 1 Comment
We have all seen the chalk art illusions (or at least photos of them) but this is the first landscaped illusion I have seen of this kind.
This giant globe was created by artist François Abelanet and sits in the middle of Paris’ City Hall. The illusion took 90 gardeners 5 days to create and covers an area of 1500 square meters.

It’s no more than a distant memory for most, and totally unknown for some, but strolling around Jersey’s market recently recalled the glory days of Guernsey’s own market. And whilst the delights of HMV or New Look provide today’s consumer with the latest musical or fashion tastes, they somehow seem oddly temporary and insignificant against the permanency of a living, breathing market.

More than a photo, less than a video
August 2nd, 2011 · Ash · 1 Comment
New York fashion Phototographer Jamie Beck and motion graphic artist/designer Kevin Burg combined their skills on this project to create a large series of stunning cinemagraphs, described as “something more than a photo but less than a video”. The beautifully shot images with the absence of any sound and slow speed of the movements captured has created some mesmorising animations.
