4320, Extreme Tweeting



Twitter is to be used for a whole new endurance exercise with this latest creation from Droga5 Syndey for V Austrailia. What lengths will you go to, to get a free weekend in LA? Well considering recent events I think there are a lot of people that want to head over. Not sure its for the scenery though. Could this be an epic, publically aware, mass fainting experience!


I like it but only due to its testing quality, possibly could have done with more depth to the concept. Tweeting for a more constructive purpose or if it was in england, tweet at MPs for spending lots of money on duck huts (old news, still as sore)

It been a while

Oh my goodness gracious, what an eventful couple of weeks. Final major project and degree show over and done with, you would have thought that things would ease up for a little bit...

Urgh No!

I moved back home for about 4 days! Nice to see people and enjoy the limited sunshine, then it was Glasto time! This year was my seventh but my second as a paying customer. I always loved the mud and the urge to get dirty for a couple days but this year was short of this:


What a good festival it was this year; some good bands, some good laughs, a couple naked runs from people (not me) and way too much cider! Oh and a 4.5 hour commute back in the wee hours of Monday morning (I live 10 minutes from the site) it was hell and laughs all at the same time.

I literally had about 14 hours to recover and then it was up to Farnham (uni) for graduation. Love the tradition but it was kind of like having sex for the first time; not really sure what your doing and then its over way to quickly! But we had a party that night to keep the spirits high (some higher than others) and then followed it by a lazy couple hours on a beach next to lake the day after. Relaxing you say, not for long as the next day, I was working and then packing ready to move up to London on the Sunday.




Victor Stone, now they were lovely before they got our money for the house and then rubbish afterwards, which I found out when I drove up to get the keys on Sunday only to find they weren't there! It all ended well and I got into the house and put the fish back in their tank. It was then time to think about the scary process of starting my placement at Nextdoor Thinking.


Their a new start up digital agency based in Holborn, and have very kindly set me up for a 3 month unpaid placement. It's now the third day in and excluding the usual first day computer problems its been quite interesting, you'll have to keep an ear out to find out more of what I'm doing whilst I'm here

Now that’s what I call beer:



It’s the age-old ad trick of sex sells, this just happens to be a nice adaptation of it. We all
(lads that is) I’m sure remember the first time you went to a French market at about 13 years old; French bangers and pens with women on them that strip when you turn it upside down, defiantly one of the highlights of my time in lower school. I never thought that I would see a beer bottle that did the same thing. Skinny Blonde is an Australian beer, which has female mascots on the bottles. When the bottle changes temperature as you hold it, the lovely ladies lose their tops.
They also have a nice but simple site that offers the same service as the bottles. Some would say this is crude, and unnecessary, I like it. Only problem, it will be a defiantly hit from the start but will it last? I’m not sure, although in these testing times it might be a nice, light hearted edition to going out for a beer.
What will see them through to fully adoption lies in their follow up, they have something potentially good but also a potential fad.

We will just have to see.

Its been a while, why not tweet a fart

Its been a spell since I was last able to check up on my mandatory sites for cool stuff and information. This is a production that was released a while ago but I am behind the times and are still on internet catch up. Actually, is that possible? It all happens so fast. Anyway, back to the actual post; since the Tweet Bakery, which is amazing, of course, but there is now something even better...
(Although, it is possible that this was before the Bakery but I haven't found it until now)

What could be better when your working hard and don't have enough time to get onto Twitter to post something cool, you could get your chair to do it for you.

To top it off, why not have it tweet whenever you fart.

Top Knotch internet loveliness, Thumbs up

There's an APP for that.

This was a really wicked vid that someone has put together which sums up some of my feelings towards to iPhone. They are great but sometimes there is too much of a good thing. Enjoy

Hold your tongue people


Watch what you say online because Branson is listening. Virgin has this nifty little section on their site that constantly scans the net searching, collating and displaying every message that mentions any of the Virgin brands! scary stuff! They have aptly called it the eye, it just reminds me of the Lord of the Rings (got to do another LOTRs day,epic.)



See what you think, for me, I just think it looks rather cool. No harm in that I suppose, although having said that, I think my tone and opinion would have been different if it wasn't someone I respected. Funny that.
