  • Powers of time

    I don’t know where I am along the time perspective scale. I walk slowly… what does that mean?

  • Iron Baby

    It’s always funny when a baby blows things up. I particularly like the details of the iron man suite – the clothes pin on the back.

  • Mac vs PC ads are over

    The long reign of Mac vs PC ads are over. But I’m sure we’ll still bring them up over and over in COM courses.

  • The Trick.ly Promotion

    I just saw this from Seth Godin about a url shortener called trick.ly:

    You can share a URL but hide it behind a question that only insiders can easily answer.

    So, for example, you could tweet, “Here’s the source for my world-class chili: http://trick.ly/2L5”. Anyone can go there, but only people who can figure out the clue can discover the site you were pointing to.

    But what caught my eye, is I had to scrounge for the answer. I had to goto his website and hunt for the result. I was hooked.

    • Can this be done in a facebook or twitter promo?
    • Can you use it to have people scouring through a clients website for an answer?
    • Can you engage your audience with it?
    • Can the hint have you listen for something at a specific time?

    Yup.

    I can think of several ways that this particular service can be repurposed to have fun with.

    What can you come up with? I’d love to here them.
