I recently happened across these images of twitter’s new offices in the SoMa district of San Francisco on limitedhype.com. It seems to be pretty sweet. I really like the clean environment dressed with bold color, occasional bird mosaic, deer bust and even a DJ booth. It must be a really nice environment to work in. [...]

GoodMorning! Full Render #2 from blprnt on Vimeo.
This is a pretty interesting visualization, and it definitely helps to provide some great visual evidence that twitter has completely arrived as a common means of communication (as if I had to say that), used world wide and has probably way out performed the ‘beeper’ by now. You [...]

This art installation called ‘Murmur Study’ created by Christopher Baker is currently showing at the Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis (now through August 23th, 2009).

So what would Nike and I’m guessing their long time trusted agency partner Wieden + Kennedy do with a text/twitter campaign to help generate excitement and awareness for Lance Armstrong’s ‘Live Strong’ campaign during the 2009 ‘Tour de France’? Especially a race covered primarily by overhead footage taken by a helicopter? Why not cover the [...]

The next layer on the stack… from Social Media on Vimeo.
This is a short but well said statement on the topic “what’s the next social media layer?” delivered by Fred Wilson (VC and principal of Union Square Ventures). His views are very much in-line with what I have been thinking for some time. The biggies [...]

Vending Machine from Ellie Harrison on Vimeo.
I’m not exactly sure what to make of this but I’m still intrigued by it’s potential. I’m also a bit confused by the overall political message that this contraption sends me as well. Is that not the sign of true art? I’m not sure. This vending machine is powered [...]

BakerTweet from POKE on Vimeo.
It’s because of inventions like the above “BakerTweet” that I think twitter will almost certainly evolve into something way beyond just offering you the ability to let your friends know you’re watching the latest episode of Lost. I’ll admit, not being the biggest baked goods junkie on the planet I’m a [...]

I saw the above report on Current.com the other day and had to post it. It’s so true that whenever the media gets their needy/greedy little hands on a new story or technology that will make them appear to be more relevant and “with it”, that the media tends to mercilously beat that story into [...]

This post is for all of you who are still wondering what the point of twitter is. Yesterday, I was once again awakened by twitter’s speed and usefulness when news broke of the 4.3 Earthquake in California (San Jose). I had twitter spy.appspot up surfing my usual catch all keyword “trends” and was suddenly flooded [...]

PaperTweet3d: Augmented Reality T-shirt from squidder on Vimeo.
Today I was fortunate enough to share some fantastic Sushi over lunch with two of my friends. All of us being involved with digital creativity/marketing, we naturally found ourselves gabbing on-and-on about all of our latest digital discoveries. My friend brought up her discovery of a live [...]

Lately, it seems that every few days I hear some chatter of yet another celebrity presence on one of the core social networks. Obama on Flickr, Britney Spears on Twitter, Elvis on Second Life… Kidding about Elvis. You may have heard the odd rumor a few months ago that the Dalai Lama was on Twitter [...]
