The Volkswagen subsidiary has pumped up its U.S. advertising budget by 20%, increased its market share and been surprisingly successful in marketing "clean diesel" models against competitors' hybrids.

Pearl Jam também oferece música em troca de um tweet

Pearl Jam Twitter

Jack Johnson usou o Twitter para promover seu novo álbum em setembro passado. Agora o Pearl Jam faz o mesmo.

Em troca de um tweet, através do site justbreathe.pearljam.com, você recebe o código para download da música “Just Breathe” no iTunes. Na verdade, trata-se de uma versão ao vivo da canção que está no disco “Backspacer”, gravada em Austin.

Um preço simbólico a pagar para quem é fã da banda. E quem não quiser promover o Pearl Jam em seu Twitter, pode pagar U$1.98 no iTunes para comprar a música. O que você prefere?

Mentos | Instant Beatbox Expertiser

Mentos Beatbox

Eu sempre achei beatbox uma coisa estúpida. Se eu passo por um canal de TV e tem alguém fazendo isso, geralmente aquele cara do Charlie Brown Jr., saio correndo e me escondo atrás do sofá.

Mas a Mentos gosta do lance, e baseada em seu comercial “Beat It” para a linha Aqua Kiss, lançou o Instant Beatbox Expertiser.

Você liga a webcam, faz caras e bocas, seleciona algumas “batidas”, e pronto, já tem o seu vídeo de beatbox no ar. Eu só assisti alguns vídeos, por obrigação profissional, mas já tem todo aquele maravilhoso mundo de conteúdo gerado pelo usuário na galeria.
