Heather Oldani, U.S. Communications Director at McDonald’s, has shared McDonald’s Social Media Marketing Strategy and is a must-read for CMO’s.

Important to McDonald’s are the following key learnings:

1. Ask yourself…”How can we actively engage” vs “Should we engage?”
2. Walk before running…Develop the right strategy for your brand vs leaping into tactical activation
3. Collaborate…Social media has potential for a number of different departments within a company
4. Be flexible/nimble…Some new trend that has the potential to impact your brand is always around the corner
5. Be open to feedback…Everyone has an opinion about your brand, products, services so be open and willing  to listen

"There are many women designers who deserve to be recognised for their immense contributions to the field of graphic design, but few so deserving as Jacqueline Casey (1927-91). "

Objectified is a documentary about industrial design; it’s about the manufactured objects we surround ourselves with, and the people who make them. On an average day, each of us uses hundreds of objects. (Don’t believe it? Start counting: alarm clock, light switch, faucet, shampoo bottle, toothbrush, razor…) Who makes all these things, and why do they look and feel the way they do? All of these objects are “designed,” but how can good design make them, and our lives, better?

Uniqlo has been one of my favorite brands mostly due to their online presence. Under the promise of "We use the world's best resources to give customers something better every time." it's impressive to see that they also apply this idea when it comes to interactive works to promote the brand. (While at it, explore also the main Uniqlo.com ( i guess made by Yugop).

Dieter and Lung of Perish Factory have directed this awesome video for Bomb The Bass, called Butterfingers. Each button and control has a unique character and role in the video that sustains viewing all the way to the witty end. In Dieter’s own words there was “no real trickery to the making of it, just lots of hands, a lot of puppets, a lot of takes and a crap load of duct tape in the back holding things together”.

You can see the video here

Hint taken from Gary Butche's Vlakonline

... like i was part of the video!! Can only mean that i'm getting old or this is a Nightmare 2.0
Well, well, wish you all a Super8!

Back in 2001 Craig Giffen created a website called humanclock.com. Since the Human Clock website represented time with pictures, he figured he could predictably milk the idea with slower-moving units of time — calendar dates. Sadly however, the calendar remained neglected until now

Words fail!

1 year performance video takes Sam Hsieh's One Year Performance 1978-1979 (aka Cage Piece) and updates it in a number of ways.

First, we've taken the act of living in a cell and transformed it into images of ourselves living in a cell. These video clips are edited dynamically at runtime so that every viewer sees a slightly different cut. The clips are organized according to the clock: if you access the piece in the morning, you see us doing morning things; if you access late at night, you see us sleeping.

Second, we've transferred the onus of a 1 year commitment to the work from the artist to the viewer. The piece will be realized fully only when a viewer runs it for one year. As M.River put it:

"In the work, we mimic endurance without doing the labor. We also know the audience can just close the browser and walk away. No one needs to suffer on this one. The failure is built-in at the front end."
Will a viewer ever complete the work? It's doubtful.
