Campus Party 2009: Uso de mídias sociais na publicidade

Como eu avisei na semana passado, rolou ontem na Campus Party o painel “Uso de mídias sociais na publicidade”, com a participação de Marcelo Tripoli (iThink), Lucas Mello (LiveAD), Mentor Muniz Neto (Bullet) e Gustavo Fortes (Espalhe).

A área CampusBlog ficou lotada, com o Livestream comendo solto no telão. O papo foi bem bacana, bem equilibrando, com concordâncias e discordâncias, e colocando até novos insights nesse tema tão atual e até polêmico algumas vezes.

No vídeo abaixo você pode assistir o debate na íntegra, gravado e disponibilizado gentilmente pelo pessoal da iThink. E não ligue se parecer que estamos falando gritando, é que lá o som estava baixo e ainda no meio da multidão de vozes que é a Campus Party. Assista e comente.

Got Two Hours and 18 Bucks? Why Not Make a Web Series?


Alas, where there are celebrities in stylish winterwear, there are bored cubicle colonists willing to track their every gurgle. And so a wealth of online content has sprung up around this year's Sundance film fest, which concludes Sunday. Most of it is easily enough ignored but one program caught my attention, by virtue of both its parentage and peculiarity: "24 Hours @ Sundance," an around-the-clock scavenger hunt of sorts that streamed in real time last weekend.
