I talk to a lot of people about social media. The biggest concerns I hear are about privacy and how to act online. Most people are not like me or the CEO of Zappos.com, Tony Hsieh, where we talk about whatever we are doing and don’t care who sees it. Personally I have accounts on: [...]

I was reading blogs today and ran across some rather funny viral marketing, I’ll call it that a least, for Miller High Life beer.
They are running Super Bowl spots, go figure, with the very funny Windell Middlebrooks. The catch is they are 1 second a peice! What’s the reason behind it? Look at the picture. The funny thing is they say they don’t need to spend 3 million ($3,000,000) but it looks like they have 24 spots running for a total of 30 seconds (a couple of them are longer than 1 second). So if I am doing my math correctly:
$3,000,000 / 30 * 30 * Number of Horns on a Unicorn + We Say It’s Cheaper = Everyone will believe us that we are just like them and don’t waste $3,000,000 for 30 seconds of air time just so people will buy our beer, or they will just be to damn wasted to notice.
It makes since to me, thats the only reason I goto Super Bowl parties is just to get wasted.

Is it sad that I actually remember every single one they were talking about?
I am not talking about the KGB of Russia. I am talking about the Knowledge Generation Bureau. I have see their commercials on TV and was extremely curious. Well it looks like they are trying to build up a database of information from people to places. They claim they are not a search engine which [...]

I had just so happen to click a link to a YouTube channel and noticed a widescreen player. I was like “what is this?” Then I checked out videos that I knew were in widescreen and sure enough it was widescreen! I then tried to show someone that uses Firefox and it wasn’t widescreen. Then I tried every other browser and it looks like right now its just for Google Chrome. I couldn’t find any information on it searching Google but if I do I will keep everyone updated. Here is a screen shot, Google Chrome (left), Internet Explorer 7 (right). UPDATE: Last night I noticed it working on Firefox and I just saw a post on TechCrunch Talking about it and also there is an official post on YouTube’s Blog.
