random bits of micro-content goodness from greg verdino: marketer, futurist, speaker and author of microMARKETING (mcgraw-hill / 2010)
At the risk of turning this lifestream-like object into a poor man's MTV, this Minus the Bear song - and the video - is hella kick ass.
Over the past month or so, I've become fairly obsessed with a band called The National. They remind me of American Music Club - another favorite band.
This is a nice, evocative consumer-generated video for one of their best songs (IMO), "Daughters of the Soho Riots."
Rogue Wave's awesome cover of Depeche Mode's "Shake the Disease." Lived on DM's records in high school and thought I was Long Island's answer to Martin Gore, so this is very cool to hear.

“SAN FRANCISCO (PRWeb) June 12, 2009 – Ambergris Films LLC today announces the optioning of a screenplay that has its roots in the popular online social network Twitter. KILLER GREEN is a horror film that mixes cultural icons such as diners and serial killers with news ripped from the headlines such as biodiesel cars and the unscrupulous practices of outlaw doctors.
In February of 2009, a group of users on the social network Twitter had an almost joking conversation about a movie based on a bio-fuel and a killing spree. The project was dubbed “KILLER GREEN” and author David Niall Wilson started typing a script. Since the idea was born on Twitter, Wilson typed the script in scenes and promoted each scene with his account. Each scene was published on his website under a Creative Commons license and broadcast to the Twitter Community. The following grew. After the completion of the screenplay, Wilson signed an option with Ambergris Films LLC. Nearly every part of the deal was transacted via Twitter, save for the signing of contracts. Pre-production started on the project in June, and many images from our production designer Jeff Ensslen are available on the KILLER GREEN website, http://www.killergreenfilm.com.
Many notable Twitter users donated their names to the screenplay, including Internet marketing gurus Chris Brogan and Greg Verdino.”
