This is one of those stories of when a brand gets its advertising & marketing campaign so very, very wrong. This is what I've found out today, via a Snickers UK Twitter campaign that unravelled (quite literally) over the weekend: - Problem: Being hungry makes you more intelligent - Cure: Eat a Snickers bar Pockets full of cash must of been given to the likes [...]
Link Local (LinkLocal.co.uk) Is it worth it?
Firstly, what is LinkLocal? It's a service by Amscreen, delivering you advertisement space via the forecourt, the local convenience store or in hundreds of healthcare & leisure centres via electronic display billboards. However, is it right for you and your business? The positives? After just finding out about this new product today and noticing the concept being quite similar to that [...]
iPhone 4 T-Mobile Release Date: 30th July 2010
OK, so... I've put this under the category 'scams' and that's where it will stay while T-Mobile insist on extortionate pricing plans for the new iPhone 4 on T-Mobile contract. Avas me hartes, here's what they didn't want you to see, just yet: I can get the crappiest of crap iPhone 4s (8GB) for freeeee if I have a contract of £35 or more. SWEET! (Being sarcastic, for those of you whom [...]
http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/impact.your.world
Well, that was some mighty interesting marketing by Bing, the Microsoft search engine. I found the following statement on http://hope140.org/: "Retweet this & @Bing will donate $10 to @CNN's Gulf Telethon up to $100K. More at http://bit.ly/howtodonate. #BingforGulf" Curious that I am, I thought I'd copy and paste the bit.ly link (http://bit.ly/howtodonate) and see where it takes me, [...]
Live Debate: Flash Gordon Ponders Fancy Dress Ideas
Anyone been watching the live political debates over the past couple of weeks? Well, I did... for all of 15 minutes. It all started off quite adult like, but within 15 minutes, it had turned in to a typical Question Night squabble and pre-recorded messages. *YAWN*. Then my mind wondered... Spitting Image was a fave show of mine when I was younger - they were brilliant at capturing the [...]

@HONOUROURFORCES (www.honour-our-forces.co.uk) – My 2 Pence…
This is a Cautionary Tale on how NOT to use Twitter. For those who know me, you know what side my butter is spread when it comes to our military and being ex-army, I know more than most what military life is all about (other than those whom are married to service men and women, whom I believe have it worst). However, there's only one thing that bugs me more other than sales people and [...]
Mixtape: Travis Barker / Jay Rock / DJ Skee?
Just over 1 year and 24 hours ago, Travis Barker was in a plane crash that killed two of his friends and colleagues; 'Lil' Chris Baker & Che, plus 2 others (pilots), while Travis and Adam Goldstein (AKA DJ AM) were lucky enough to survive. Now, I'm not going to go in to too much details of past history of Travis & DJ AM as I've mentioned the duo plenty over on my blink-182 fan site. [...]
I love music, but…
I've always seen myself as a non-musical Nazi. I have a varied taste ranging from classical greats such as Beethoven and his predecessors Haydn and Mozart to oldies 50's music like Johnny Cash & Elvis to the 60's with Hendrix & the Beach Boys... the 70's of Bob Marley to the late 80's early 90's of Nirvana. From classical to RnB & Hip Hop, from Punk Rock to German Industrial Heavy [...]
