sk-interfaces. The Luxembourg episode

79k

Yes, i had already seen sk-interfaces. Exploding Borders in Art, Technology and Society at FACT in Liverpool but the Luxembourg version, i was told by friends, is bigger, bolder and even better than the first one. They were right. A couple of pieces have been added to the show. The performances are well documented and there is a corner to watch videos. The space itself is kinder to the artworks. There’s extra drama as the poor Victimless Leather garments had caught some disease and were slowly eaten by decay continue

Compartilhe amigos do Orkut com a Coca-Cola

cocaorkut.jpg

Bons usos de redes sociais são sempre bem vindos.
Seguindo o mote “Compartilhe a sua Felicidade“, a Coca-Cola lançou no Orkut um aplicativo especial de Natal.
Nele, a marca sugere que você dê um amigo de presente, ou melhor, compartilhe um amigo.

A página de informações do aplicativo – criado pela Gringo – diz o seguinte:

Amigos: quanto mais você compartilha, mais você tem. Então, que tal compartilhar aquele seu amigo baladeiro com outro que está precisando de mais diversão? Ou aquele aventureiro com uma amiga que precisa fugir da rotina? É Natal. E melhor do que trocar presentes é trocar amigos.

Ao acessar o aplicativo, você seleciona inicialmente a pessoa que você quer compartilhar. Em seguida, aponta uma característica principal desse seu amigo, para, logo depois, compartilhar com quem você quiser.

E como o assunto tem a ver com o novo conceito global da Coca-Cola, vale mencionar que a campanha Expedition 206 já selecionou os três “embaixadores” que deverão levar a felicidade para 206 países onde a Coca-Cola é vendida, conforme eu havia divulgado em outubro. Abaixo, você confere o vídeo com um rápido bate-papo com o Toño, a Kelly e o Tony:

Cá entre nós, a Coca-Cola está se saindo muito bem com suas estratégias em mídias sociais. Vamos continuar de olho.
