Linkety Link
It’s been such an insane month at work that I haven’t had much time to be brilliantly insightful
Tonight, I’m forgoing brillance for a list of current favorite/interesting links. Do with them what you will.
- Social Media Index by Vitrue. As @mleis says, it’s fun to pretend that they’re racing each other.
- 15 Awesome Advertisements. They held my attention long enough to watch them all.
- Secret Tweet. The idea is cool and similar to Post Secret. Now if only more people utilized it.
- Create your own toolbar. I’m curious to see if this will take off.
- Two Cities. One Place. Great idea by British Airways. I wonder if they’ll expand it to “twin” other cities.
- Most complete list of companies’ forays into social media.
- My favorite up and coming corporate twitter account is @fairmonthotels. Their twitter stream is really cute and personable. Although, their tweets seem to brand them as a boutique bed and breakfast vs. a collection of luxury hotels…
- I’m curious to know how many people use it and how frequently, but Amazon’s Text-Buy-It is a thing of beauty. It’s worth buying something just to experience the full transaction.
- When in need of a quick, insightful chuckle, head over to Indexed. There’s a new one every day.
- Looking for a gift? Agent Provocateur provides fun for anyone
- The vote is still out on 140 Twitter Tools no one really needs and Mr. Tweet, but both are fun to check out when bored.
- Shape Writer is a new way of typing. It chooses the word by the pattern drawn. I wonder how accurate it is?
- In just 48 hours, Twitter and Tweetsgiving helped raise $10,696 to build a classroom in Tanzania.
- Bonus: At first look the Hancock Banner Ad (below) is a thing of genius – video clips, games, purchasing and the ability to share all in one. But, then you realize that everything just clicks off to somewhere else. Close to being a next gen banner ad, but no cigar. Also, interesting to note that they’re linking to Amazon for purchase. Wonder who’s getting the kick back for that
