random bits of micro-content goodness from greg verdino: marketer, futurist, speaker and author of microMARKETING (mcgraw-hill / 2010)
The movie "We All Want to Be Young" is the outcome of several studies developed by BOX1824 in the past 5 years. BOX1824 is a Brazilian research company specialized in behavioral sciences and consumer trends.
This movie has an open license by Creative Commons. Written and directed by Lena Maciel, Lucas Liedke and Rony Rodrigues.
111 human "pixels" recreate Pac Man in a stop motion animation. Oh so nerdy.
Really Facebook for stats nerds or data visualization geeks, but still funny stuff from @joshsundquist.
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.
YouTube is 5 years old. Here is a compilation of the 20 oldest clips on the site. Seems to me the two Chinese guys (The Back Dorm Boys, or whatever they were called) singing "I Want it That Way" raised the bar.
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."
But a nice one with some great, up-to-date numbers.
... without any of the masturbating men you don't want to know about.
I'll be the first to admit that I don't always wear my seatbelt. OK - Amanda nags me about this constantly - I rarely wear a seatbelt. This PSA from the UK is pretty damn effective...
Not *my* confessions (sorry) but an amazing, inspiring, touching, sometimes funny, sometimes sad slice of the human experience from PostSecret promoting the book Confessions on Life, Death and God. Well worth the time it takes to watch it.
