Another great one for our Viral Video Mondays: A decidedly tech flavored parody of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” featuring iPads, iPhones and Twitter. Straight from the twisted minds of the Pantless Knights - the same guys who brought you “New Dork” and “I’m on a Mac” - comes “Tweet It,” a reimagining of “Beat It” that pits iPads versus iPhones. <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e ae6d 11cf 96b8 444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab version=6,0,40,0" <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" / <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" / <param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FNf9 0w5qzw?fs=1&amp;hl=en US&amp;rel=0" / <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" / <embed type="application/x shockwave flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FNf9 0w5qzw?fs=1&amp;hl=en US&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" </embed </object Just tweetit

I meant to post this Friday, so let's change my Viral Video Fridays series just for once. It's amazing how brands love to use someone else's big splash and ride it for their own ... after the amazing success of the Old Spice campaign, many brands chose to follow the same spot archetype which should have been somehow trademarked . Sesame Street launched their Smell Like A Monster. With over 5 million views, this cute spot quickly went viral. <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e ae6d 11cf 96b8 444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab version=6,0,40,0" <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" / <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" / <param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zkd5dJIVjgM?fs=1&amp;hl=en US&amp;rel=0" / <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" / <embed type="application/x shockwave flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zkd5dJIVjgM?fs=1&amp;hl=en US&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" </embed </object

Everyone by now must have had a discussion about future of books, magazines, newspapers, etc. You've probably seen Wired on the iPad, the Sports Illustrated Tablet Demo, any many more. IDEO, respected company for their innovation and product design, came up with 3 concepts for the future of the book. <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e ae6d 11cf 96b8 444553540000" width="400" height="225" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab version=6,0,40,0" <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" / <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" / <param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip id=15142335&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show title=1&amp;show byline=1&amp;show portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0" / <embed type="application/x shockwave flash" width="400" height="225" src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip id=15142335&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show title=1&amp;show byline=1&amp;show portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" </embed </object

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. <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e ae6d 11cf 96b8 444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab version=6,0,40,0" <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" / <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" / <param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4TshFWSsrn8?fs=1&amp;hl=en US&amp;rel=0" / <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" / <embed type="application/x shockwave flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4TshFWSsrn8?fs=1&amp;hl=en US&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" </embed </object

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.

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. <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e ae6d 11cf 96b8 444553540000" width="501" height="313" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab version=6,0,40,0" <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" / <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" / <param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip id=14697494&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show title=1&amp;show byline=0&amp;show portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0" / <embed type="application/x shockwave flash" width="501" height="313" src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip id=14697494&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show title=1&amp;show byline=0&amp;show portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" </embed </object
