Media Decoder Blog: Sports Illustrated Lands New Armstrong Interview

The magazine billed it as Lance Armstrong’s first since talking with Oprah Winfrey six weeks ago. It came about serendipitously after the writer, Michael McCann, noticed that Mr. Armstrong had started following him on Twitter.

Poll: Is ‘Salt Sugar Fat’ Keeping You Awake at Night?


Perhaps you missed the Feb. 24 issue of The New York Times Magazine that featured a woman eating what looks like a Dorito. Next to the image was a quote from Robert I-San Lin, a former chief scientist for Frito-Lay, that read “I feel so sorry for the public.” Below that were the words “Inside the hyperengineered, savagely marketing, addiction-creating battle for America’s ‘stomach share.”

In case you were wondering where this was leading, story was headlined “The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food” and was, in fact, a 9,000 word excerpt from Michael Moss’ new book “Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us.”

Moss, a Pulitzer-prize-winning New York Times journalist, told Amazon that he got the idea for the book while “investigating a surge in deadly outbreaks of E. coli in meat [and] an industry source, a microbiologist, suggested that if I wanted to see an even bigger public health hazard, I should look at what food companies were intentionally adding to their products.”

Iron Man 3: O último trailer

Depois de teasers, trailers curtos, uma imagem aqui e outra ali, a Marvel revelou o trailer final de “Homem de Ferro 3″.

Além do problemático Tony Stark nesse terceiro episódio, o vídeo revela como o herói vai enfrentar os perigos gerados pelo Mandarin interpretado por Ben Kingsley: novas armaduras, incluindo Hulkbuster e Extremis.

O filme estreia no dia 3 de maio nos Estados Unidos, já no Brasil, em 26 de abril. Tomem essa ianques! (OK, sei que não há mérito nenhum nisso, já que eles só querem atrapalhar nossos pirateiros).

Braincast 53 – O novo noticiário

A internet e as mídias sociais transformaram o modo como consumimos notícias. Se antes a televisão e veículos impressa dominavam quase unânime, hoje perdem terreno para os formatos digitais.

Uma recente pesquisa – Trends in News Consumption: 1991-2012 – revelou que 39% do noticiário é consumido online, com a TV ainda na liderança, mas perdendo cada vez mais influência.

No Braincast 53, discutimos o tema e as maneiras como nos informamos nos dias de hoje. Carlos Merigo, Saulo Mileti, Guga Mafra e Vini Melo opinam sobre o futuro do jornalismo, blogs, novas tecnologias para fornecer notícias e manipulação da mídia.

‘Homeland’s’ Damian Lewis Appears in Jaguar’s Newest Trailer for Short Film ‘Desire’


Has there ever been a branded content effort with a more drawn out teaser process? We finally get a look at Damian Lewis in another trailer for Desire, Jaguar’s upcoming short film. The style is definitely reminiscent of BMW Films, and an association with one of TV’s hottest actors certainly won’t hurt the brand, but we’ll have wait for the full movie to see if it lives up to the pre-launch hype.

Check out the first trailer over on Creativity-Online.com, and follow @creativitymag on Twitter for more great work.

Tumblr to Introduce Mobile Ads In Bid for Profitability


Tumblr, the 6-year-old blog network that months ago began letting advertisers pay for prominent placement, expects to make its first annual profit this year after extending the feature to smartphones.

In the first half of this year, companies will be able to promote their posts and blogs to bigger audiences on Tumblr’s mobile app, similar to the way the web version works, VP Derek Gottfrid said in an interview with Bloomberg News. Closely held Tumblr has tested the product internally and is looking to sign up advertisers to introduce it, he said.

Tumblr CEO David Karp is betting he can achieve profitability simply by getting customers to pay to make their own posts stick out.

Conceptual Artists Get Their Chance to (Poorly) Separate Oreo Cookies

"Maybe you should just use? a knife." That's one of the less charitable reactions to this latest Oreo Separators video from Wieden + Kennedy—part of a series in which inventors and technologists develop machines and tools that are much more complicated than a mere knife to separate Oreo cookies from their creme. (Yes, I know, what's even the point of doing that at all?) In this third video, a couple of guys from the London conceptual-art collective Dentaku do their best with a Ferris-wheel-style contraption that—well, to be honest, it's a disaster at first, though the guys do redeem themselves somewhat at the end. Our favorite is probably still the video with the toy scientists.

Domino’s Thanks 8 Million Facebook Fans by Toppling 50,000 Dominos

Domino's doesn't make much use of its namesake domino logo—until now. The pizza chain topples more than 50,000 dominos in the video below from Crispin Porter + Bogusky, as a thank-you to fans after crossing the 8 million likes mark on Facebook. I think we can all agree it probably should have been 8 million dominos, but that would have been 160 times the work—and required more than two years of nonstop work to produce, instead of the 120 hours it took for this one. Facebook milestone videos are something of a specialty for CP+B, which last year did the giant human coupon for Old Navy.

Buttered Up Dishes On Pinterest Help Feed The Hungry

Hunger in America. These are words that ought to be incomprehensible to us, but sadly they’re not. For 1 in 6 people in the United States, hunger is a reality.

Pin a Meal. Give a Meal.-1

In a nation that grows as much food as we do, this rate of hunger is a crime. Yet, we have no Hunger Police to round up the perps. So, we’re left to do what we can through direct service, charitable organizations and corporate concerns.

For example, Land O’Lakes is working with hunger-relief charity Feeding America to address the problem.

Care of Colle+McVoy in Minneapolis, Land O’Lakes new “Pin a Meal, Give a Meal” promotion encourages people to share recipes on Pinterest. For every Land O’Lakes meal pinned, the company will donate $1 to Feeding America. Miraculously, this one dollar provides eight meals to those in need.

Feeding America helps provide 37 million low-income Americans with emergency food assistance each year.
