Specialty symbols are off the mark

January 20th, 2010 Mitch Brisebois 1 comment

Imagine if you invented the @ symbol (aka 'commercial at')... in 1400... or whenever (no one is sure) It was used for basic accounting, but mostly useless for the masses. That is, until that email app became all the rage. Now imagine if you could charge $2 to everyone ...

Why was Parliament Prorogued?

January 6th, 2010 Jobe Roberts 3 comments
Prorogued for..

Talk about déja vu eh? It seems like only last year we had one of these.  So why are we having another prorogued Parliament?  Is it because the government is trying to avoid something? Or is it because it's time to take a break and watch the Olympics? No, no, folks, Parliament was prorogued so that ...

Geo Surfing the Twittersphere with TrendsMap

trendsmap

Real time mapping of twitter keyword trends mapped out around the world. Small oddities to consider with these maps, the tweets seem to be identified by internet service providers, so there are groups of words around major cities such as Montreal but zooming down to small towns or neighborhoods won't provide more detail.  These are high ...

With Trendistic you can monitor keyword tweet trends over a period of time. Very much unlike true time travel, Trendistic is far more like a machine that counts every time someone tweets keywords, plus it notes the time that the keywords occurred. Who knows, maybe there's some pattern to the trends that will enable you to ...

Sorry, but I just have to say it, I can't stand using Facebook.  Sure, I use it because well everybody I know is on it, but when I use it, I find I'm far too often faced with windows like this on Facebook, that ask, "Before you continue, set up personalized alerts... enter your e-mail".  ...

Ok, so Wave is either the ultimate replacement for email or just a new tool to use for communication; not that different from instant messaging, Skype or Facebook. Truth is it depends on what you use your email for. If you like writing emails now, you will no doubt continue on using email. On ...

mashup

Hopefully by the time you read this, you will be able to download your iTunes play-list as an XML file then embed an interactive Flash animation that displays your songs on your Facebook page or website.  Um, you probably won't get this mashable app from Apple, but instead from some clever basement developer doing it ...

Everyone knows Kraft is a food powerhouse. It's very media savvy. It's also very innovative with its social media marketing campaigns. The Lunch Notes Promise is absolutely tear-jerking brilliance. From the Lunchables site, a parent creates a note intended for their child's lunchbox. Something like "You'll do great at show ...

Unintentional Wacky Product Placement: The supreme power of Nestle’s bottled water

November 9th, 2009 Mitch Brisebois No comments
Nestle Baptism

I was watching some clips of the Oscar-nominated 2006 film Jesus Camp - a documentary about the frightening and cruel indoctrination of children at a summer camp in South Dakota. The featured preacher, Becky Fischer is shown 'baptizing' kids with a bottle of Nestle bottled water - which she probably bought on sale at ...
