The United States of Twitter

Our friends at Geekologie have released this interesting map “America According to Twitter,” which highlights the city kick names Twitter users list as their locations. I’m from Columbus, Ohio and have never heard it called “Bucktown,” but the others seem familiar. Sending love from my new place in the States, El Lay.


My latest someecard

When I’m bored, I do things like start weird blogs, or write someecards. Today I created this one for sudden vegan Kelly Ryan O’Brien of Idols and Egos fame. I’m glad she waited until she moved back to Chicago to adopt this lifestyle. Makes her departure much less painful. I encourage you fellow foodies to care enough to hit send.


Nike launches new ad on Facebook

Screw the Super Bowl! Facebook is where it’s at, and Nike knows it. The athletic shoe giant proved it through their latest ad for their user submitted video campaign Chosen. We love how they launched the ad featuring their “crew” of Paul Rodriguez, Julian Wilson, Danny Kass and the rest of the Nike team. to their more than 4.5 fans. They also had their contest invite housed on YouTube.

Nike Chosen invites you to, “submit a video featuring your crew’s creativity and style. The chosen crew will score the ultimate prize: premium travel, exclusive events and custom product. Five minutes of video could win you the experience of a lifetime.”


McDonald’s. I’m lovin’ it!

Talk about an integrated interactive marketing campaign! DDB Stockholm created this amazing Pick ‘N Play campaign for McDonald’s. Passersby could use their smart phones to play the giant McDonald’s billboard in a game of ping pong. Winners (those who lasted longer than 30 seconds) earned a food certificate. Yum.

We just found this amazing Facebook app by Intel that we simply adore. The application taps into your Facebook profile, pulling images and activity to create a museum of you. The music and vibe tug at the heartstrings, taking you on an emotional journey through your Facebook life and ending in an exhibition all about you.

It’s pretty cool. If you have a minute, click here to give it a whirl.
