A perfect (Bill and) TED talk.
You can’t skip this ad
I love it when brands address changes in marketing… within the marketing.
Geico’s new pre-roll spot is short… very short… and addresses the quickness with which we reach for the “Skip” link. But this is one spot you may not want to be so quick to skip…
Wait for it…

12 minutes of Batman cameos
Batman and Robin “climbing” the walls of Gotham City usually resulted in a cameo appearance from some of the biggest names in entertainment.
Dick Clark, Sammy Davis Jr., Don Ho and Art Linkletter all made an appearance.
Col. Klink of Hogans Heroes warns the Dynamic Duo against letting Col. Hogan get a rope.
My personal favorite is Andy Devine as Santa Clause.

Daylight Saving Trailer – It still haunts my dreams
The college football player in your book club
Malcolm Mitchell is one of the greatest wide-receivers in college football. But that has always come naturally to him.
When he first entered college, he was reading at a Jr. High level. That bothered him. So he began to work hard to change that.
When asked what he is the most proud of, he says “Reading the Hunger Games series in 2 weeks”.
Not catching a touch-down pass? Nope. He says that that comes naturally to him. Reading has been something he’s had to work hard to accomplish.

How to cut a watermelon
The mess of cutting a watermelon ranks pretty low on my list of major life issues. But, this looks like a pretty quick and easy way to get the crew fed.
Flying a drone through fireworks
So this looks awesome… a fireworks display filmed among the fireworks:
Of course… it may not be the smartest move.
Facebook launches Slingshot
UPDATE: Wow… this is a frustratingly addicting app. It isn’t that I have to reply with an image… I have to provide an image, to view the “locked” image that was sent to me.
That just opens up an endless loop of image sharing!
The app also allows me to “Reply” to an image in an unlocked format. I’ve had a little fun with the form-function on that feature…
(ORIGINAL POST)
Facebook is set to roll out a new “disposable message” app “Slingshot” today.
Similar to other apps like Snapchat, and the recently shuttered Facebook Poke, Slingshot allows the user to share a photo or video moment with a friend, or a group.
The next step, however, is where the app differentiates itself a little. In order to reply, you also have to include an image or short video. If you want to participate, you have to do more than just comment.
With Slingshot, we saw an opportunity to create something new and different: a space where you can share everyday moments with lots of people at once.
