Viral Video Friday – Panda

Panda, an Egyptian manufacturer of cheese and dairy products, has dramatically revamped its advertising 4 months ago thanks to boutique agency Elephant Cairo . The agency sold the client the ‘crazy idea’ that if you don’t like Panda products, eat Panda products or refuse a Panda sandwich, the Panda will kick your ass. The campaign is called “Never Say No to Panda”. Strangely the official hits on the Youtube channel don’t even come close to the 4 million hits the recently made compilation got.

Viral Video Friday - DC Shoes

After the success of the Gymkhana Practice video with over 20 million combined views, then enhanced into an amazing viral Part II with another 20 million + views, and now Part III – launched only 3 days ago and with over 5 million views already.

Shot just south of Paris, France in Linas at l’Autodrome de Linas –Montlhéry, this 1.58 mile oval track, built in 1924, features banks as steep as 51 degrees, which is more than double the standard incline of most NASCAR ovals.

The stunts are just amazing, a must see for any racing fan, and pretty much all men.

Viral Video Friday – TippExperience

A recent YouTube video ad for ink correction fluid brand Tipp-Ex allows offers a custom, interactive experience to viewers based on the product’s key functionality – allowing you to correct your original intention, or to change your mind. The video’s co-protagonist – a hunter/camper – is about to shoot a bear at his campsite, when he instead decides to use Tipp-Ex (taking it from the ad unit next to video) to correct the word ’shoots’ in the video title bar, and instead allow you to instruct what the hunter should do to the bear.

It’s basically Subservient Chicken all over again – well, a lot more basic, but same idea –  but with a YouTube spin. It has more than 50 different endings: dances with, sings with, talks to, hugs, draws, fights, doesn’t shoot, is shot by, loves, kisses, fucks, pisses with, sleeps with, eats, watches TV with, swims with, plays with, shakes hand with, buys, takes a photo of, fishes with, drinks with, rides, plays football with, spanks, farts, is cooked by, breakdances with, cuts, does nothing with, high fives, smokes with, moonwalks with, washes, jumps with, tickles, shows his ass to, seduces.

Business Tedious Task Automation

If you work on a large corporation, you know about time cards, expense reports, and other horribly tedious business overhead that takes so much of your time. I don’t know I’ve never put 1+1 together … As a long time technologist, I’ve used multiple automation tools such as selenium, or the selenium Firefox plugin to fill out forms and automate testing … I ran into a new browser earlier this week called Fake - as for Fake interactions with the web.

Fake is a new browser for Mac OS X that makes web automation simple. Fake allows you to drag discrete browser Actions into a graphical Workflow that can be run again and again without human interaction. The Fake Workflows you create can be saved, reopened, and shared.

Inspired by Apple’s Automator application, Fake looks like a combination of Safari and Automator that allows you to run (and re-run) “fake” interactions with the web.

UX: Screens Of The Future

At its Open Innovation Experiment, Swedish software technology and design company TAT (The Astonishing Tribe) released a spectacular video showing a glimpse of possible screen technology of the future. They predict that we will have malleable screens, screens that are built into mirrors connected with Wi-Fi, e-ink touch screens and several others that can only be imagined at the moment. Take a look at their video to see this inspired view of what comes next:
