Silly season is truly upon us. Nation have utilised words from the Google blacklist, and created a nifty little site that lets you craft your own joy-filled christmas greeting.
Ego surfing, or Googling yourself, is the act of entering your name into the mighty Google-ma-tron and seeing what, if anything, comes back. The more results, the bigger your ego growths.
Well an enterprising chap by the name of Alec Brownstein wanted to pursue a career with Y&R New York. His plan. Play to the egos of Gerry Graf, David Droga, Tony Granger, Ian Reichenthal and Scott Vitrone - top Creative Directors. How? Watch the following.
I love this idea because it's simple, innovative and has proven very effective. He has since won two pencils and a Clio for his idea.
So, two days since Google announced that they are releasing 100,000 preview invitations for Google Wave. Now I am super, super keen to get my hands on one of these invites ever since watching the preview from Google I/O 2009.
It seems I'm not the only one keen to get my hot little hands on this cool, real-time collaboration tool. Some entrepreneurial chap in the States decided to offer his invite up on eBay. Two issues. He didn't actually have an invite, and eBay reckoned he was violating terms of service. A shame really as one Swedish guy was willing to part with $27,000. The current highest bid on other eBay auctions is $102.50 - a bargain in comparison.
Not sure what Google Wave is? Then check out the Google I/O 2009 preview below. For those lucky enough to get an invite. Share the love.
