Jealous Computers: Nokia Viral Advertising
The latest viral marketing campaign by Nokia is again beautifully done, consisting of a website complete with videos, victim reports and posters warning of jealous computers attacking their owners when they buy or use a Nokia N95. As a nice twist, users can upload their own videos, pictures or stories of attacks and receive a specially designed T-Shirt.
Mr. Toledano
Have a look at New York-based conceptual photographer Phillip Toledano’s portfolio for some really nice and inspirational photographic work. Some limited edition prints can be purchased online at Gild.
Mr. Toledano (by the way, I just love the entrance page (archive.org link) thinks, that every photograph should be like an unfinished sentence or part of a story and in pursuit of this, he has amassed a dazzling portfolio of original photography. The stories the photographs tell are so thought through and engrossing, it’s definitely worth a look.
Phillip Toledano, a lover of photography since he was eleven, was born in London and currently resides and works in New York.
Cork’d sold
What started as a side project for Dan Benjamin and Dan Cederholm on a Mac Mini in a collocation facility has grown to be one of the largest online communities for wine tasting. In about one year the site amassed about 20.000 users. A lovely design paired with a big community got the site quite far.
This week, the creators of Cork’d announced the sale of the site to Gary Vaynerchuk, the host of WLTV. A really nice outcome for everyone, especially since Gary seems to be a guy who understands the values of good design and a community. If you haven’t seen him before, watch this little summary - it’s worth it.
Congratulations to they guys from the iceberg!
