Outsource the clickers, create outreach programmes for the elderly, stimulate your kids' clicking smarts with school clicking programmes. Making a viral video used to take a lot of work, says Buyral. "How can people go viraler and viraler?" they ask. And give you the answers. And check out the CL-app (say it quickly) for your iPhone. Now anyone can do it. And who knows, soon you'll have the viralest video - and no need for viewers any more to get that virality! Go! (Via +Keith Childs … [Read more...] about The secrets of making viral videos

#Skyfall: impressions of the latest James Bond adventure
We saw #Skyfall this afternoon at our local Showcase cinema. Very hard to say much about it without being a total spoiler.

They're open for discussion on their ideas - only an email address on the site, though - and it will be interesting to see what people … [Read more...] about What if Wikipedia was a bit prettier and more usable?
Humour’s a funny thing
What's funny to you or I may not be to anyone else. Case in point - SpecSavers' press ad in the UK today over the Korean flag mixup at #London2012. I can see the humour certainly. But I wonder how the Koreas might especially with both flags portrayed together like that. Pretty sensitive issues for both, especially North Korea.
