It's Not Digital, It's Social

It's a bit of a duh statement, but the thought of new media as a social revolution, not a digital revolution is expressed nicely by BigShinyThing.

Green Media

Hotels are really good at reminding you to conserve.  It seems like an ideal place to communicate that kind of message while their doing their daily routines.  Something you could never do in their homes.

The trick is to get them to take the message home with them. 

Web 2.0 in Five Minutes

I love this little film.  Thanks to BigShinyThing for posting it.

Strategy Help Wanted

I got this note the other night with the bill at my favorite Chelsea restaurant, the Bright Food Shop.  It appears they need some strategic planning help if anyone's interested.

AOL Used Here

AOL should stop doing advertising and just give all their current customers one of these.  The endorsement from your friends and neighbors may be all they need,  plus you'd feel bad coming home from work everyday if you left them.

TV Bullying

Charts like this always shock me.  It's not so much the amount of money companies spend on advertising, but how much we need to be reminded to buy a car and take drugs. 

The chart came from this article in the Times Magazine over the weekend.  It's about the feeling of being pursued by advertisers and how that may not be such a good thing.

Sidewalk Gallery

I've noticed people installing their art on signposts around the gallery neighborhoods in Chelsea.  I wonder if it's a trend.
