Google Including Google Trends Charts In Search Results

Just came across this today: Google is including Google Trends charts within the search results pages for currently hot searches. When I tried later in the day, though, the chart didn’t appear. Looks like Google is testing this. But why include the charts? Is this an attempt by Google to teach the broader public about [...]

Google Nexus One Smartphone Unboxing…Ninja Style

This sure looks like it should be an official Google ad for the Nexus One but it appears to be just some super-talented animator showing off his stuff. Found at YouTube from PatrickBoivin via Julio Ojeda-Zapata’s Your Tech Weblog.

Bud Light Paintball Airstrike Ad Hijacked By Retailer

Last week I discussed how the advertising industry can revitalize itself by focusing on creating commercial content that is compelling in and of itself rather than content that tries to dupe consumers or is designed to be forced upon them.

The Future Of Advertising Agencies

I did some freelance copywriting and sold some newspaper advertising when I was coming up, but never ended at an agency, though that’s where I wanted to be.

Innovative Video Game Marketing For Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed

Hybride is a special effects outfit whose work includes the movie Sin City. Assassin’s Creed is one of Ubisoft’s [...]

The Wire – WCCO TV’s Innovative Collaborative Journalism Project

I haven’t been shy about my admiration for the work that John Daenzer, WCCO TV’s Director of New Media, is doing over at the station. He is, I think, one of the unsung stars in Minnesota’s digital universe. (I should note here that my company, Tunheim Partners, has done work for WCCO TV in the [...]
