Lastminute viral

May 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment

OK so this isn’t the funniest viral in the world but it still made me smile. Set in Stansted Airport, characters such as airport staff, cleaners and policemen perform a song and dance to unsuspecting passengers. The viral is to promote their half-price theatre ticket deal currently running on their website.

Muxtape is a great site that allows users to upload their MP3’s to make mixtapes for the modern era.  A particularly great one from Mr Lloyd Davis can be found here.

Brand tags

Noah Brier writes one of the best blogs around and has developed an experiment called Brand Tags.  The interface displays a brand logo and asks users to insert the first word or phrase associated with that brand.  Noah has included a list of all the brands added to date on the site, and if you click on a particular brand, you can see a tag cloud of all the words entered surrounding that brand.  To date over 700,000 tags have been added.  Great work Noah, I know this is keeping you really busy so hang in there!

PMOG fun

Last week I was directed to PMOG (passively multiplayer online game) by Charlie, an application that lets you play against others simply through browsing the web.  “With a game head-up display in Firefox, players can bomb each other, wage war over web sites, and lead other users on web missions. Ordinary web sites become caches for items and currency. PMOG fuses an MMO into our WWW.”  I have only recently started playing but have successfully blown up a couple of people and can see myself becoming addicted very easily.
