Google Job Application

27-years old Sebastian L. from Cologne, Germany, wants to work at Google, specifically in Google’s security department. Instead of writing a normal job application, he decided to register tons of Google-related URLs – like adwordsgoogle.de, docsgoogle.de, gdrivegoogle.com, labsgoogle.de and more – and posted his application on it.

Money? What Money?

SFluxe’s message to the new rich of Silicon Valley — we all know you’re rich, so stop pretending you’re not. It’s annoying. Your friends know you’re rich, your neighbors know you’re rich, your employees like totally know you’re rich. We have been on to you from the beginning. So please do us all a big service, stop pretending and start spending. Conspicuously would be great, thank you. The bigger the better, big and tacky, like Trump-ugly big, okay?

completely retarded. a “luxury” blog begging entrepreneurs to spend more, presumably so that the rag has something to write about.

Wherigo

As a person enters and exits these zones, an author using Wherigo Builder can create rules that generate media events on the device. The author can also create virtual objects and characters that “live” within the zone for the person to interact with.

Epson feelings

And now those consultants have conned Epson into doing the same thing on a new site called Epsonality. They ask questions like “You come across a bear in the woods, what do you do?” and “you find $199.99 lying on the ground, what do you do?” and use your answers to somehow determine the right printer for you. All in a sick, highly personalized Flash interface.

oy. dressing up pigs in conversational marketing. at the end of the day, your product still sucks. i mean, who needs printers?
