Thanks to an article in Indy (Clare Beale’s “On Advertising”) I’ve seen and now downloaded the most excellent iPhone guerilla/game/viral advert. It’s the first ad I’ve seen that “works” on mobile: the Carling iPint.

Against my protestations (traffic jams, kids being terrified, crowds, expense, forecast rain, logistics, laziness) Vicky booked us a “day out” at Farnborough Air Show.
Mr Grumpy helped make the picnic and we “sped” the 3 hours of nose-to-tail traffic to Farnborough, finally coming to rest with 61,000 other cars in twelve playing fields’ [...]
This first appeared as an article in Internet Retailing magazine’s July 2008 issue. A pdf of the magazine article is attached.
The inaugural meeting of the European eCommerce Forum (ECF) was held in Amsterdam in April – the culmination of four years of conversations with leading retailers. Ian Jindal and Joris Beckers, co-founders of the Forum, [...]
This was my Editorial from the July 2008 issue of Internet Retailing magazine.
The paradigm of the web channel being a vast shop with elastic walls has run its course. As Ian Jindal packs his bucket and spade for the summer holidays, he considers a new etailing paradigm: active selling in the network age. Retailers have [...]
Patagonia Men’s Bollocks Shirt
Honesty? a boast? Or a case of unfortunate product naming?
The image is safe for work, but the title may cause problems with your firewall…
Let me know of any other unfortunately titled products…
The San Francisco Citizen | Google Employees Press 14 Buttons to Operate Their Toilets.
Wow. Admiration and fear.
I don’t understand quite how “Front Wash” can be effective while yet not splashing one’s shirt…
I also have a concern about continued functioning during a power cut. Backup power generation?
