People of Facebook

I'm sure you have seen the #ShitPeopleSay videos, which have gone viral in the past few months. The video parodies the narcissistic nature of people who use Facebook. It also captures the everyday, mundane tasks that people do, and announcing it to their friends. For example, my friend just posted: "$1 drinks like a boss with 3 others at Senor Frogs Waikiki", I guess that is worth a mention, if you're overseas and like to showoff. Although I am on Facebook constantly, however, I don't feel the need to tell everyone how bad the public transport in Sydney is, they already know! Anyway, enough ranting. Enjoy the video.

#DogVadar

Perhaps there is a motif in today's posts, yes, another #Gameday commercial. This is the sequel to VW's #Dogvadar series of commercials for the Superbowl. Although, this time the featured dog(s) has no direct reference to Darth Vadar, it still captures the popularity of the Star Wars franchise (you'll see). VW released their first lead up to #Gameday 2012 commerical a few weeks ago, featuring a bunch of dogs barking to Vadar's theme tune...it had gone viral within a couple of days. VW were sure not to change a winning formula, and in my opinion has gone one better. If you haven't seen the first one, then check it out at the bottom.

#JerrysNSX

As a Seinfeld fanatic, I was ecstatic to see the return of the Soup Nazi. However, this time he says: "Soup for you!". The comic genius, with his usual quikiness and obscure observation teams up with Acura in this latest ad hits the spot. It is entertaining, engaging and funny. The only improvement perhaps was to include Costanza, a truly unique character based on Larry David (co-creator of Seinfeld), if you haven't seen Curb Your Enthusiasm, do yourself a favour and check it out. In the mean time, enjoy a 2 minute video.

If you haven't heard of the next big thing in social, then you must be living under a rock (which is very impressive if you're still alive). Pinterest is a fairly new website, where people use it to share things they like on the web. It acts as a virtual pin board or a community blog, for people wanting to recommend a viral video, an online retail store or even DIY ideas for your home. It is gaining momentum in terms of unique monthly users, and it is proving to be a driver for some online retail stores.
