Get to the Point: The ‘Six Words or Less’ Philosophy


At our agency, we are constantly reminding ourselves to say less, when our natural instincts consistently prompt us to say more. But brevity is not something easily practiced. Think about your last RFP response, or most recent client presentation. Did you over explain when a short, concise and simple answer would have sufficed?

“Pot Farm”, o seu novo jogo preferido no Facebook

Pot Farm Facebok

O Facebook está em crise, todo mundo reclama dos problemas de privacidade (ainda que a solução seja simples: não publique na internet informações que não deseja compartilhar), mas eu não falo nada. O motivo é óbvio: em que outro lugar você pode jogar pérolas como “Pot Farm”?

“FarmVille” e “Mafia Wars” é coisa de criança, o lance agora é ter seu campo virtual para cultivar incríveis ervas. Não entenda mal, pode não ser isso que você está pensando. Os criadores do “Pot Farm” dizem que todas as plantas do jogo são fictícias, qualquer semelhança com algo do mundo real é mera coincidência.

O bom humor do socialgame é o ponto alto, que foi lançado há pouco tempo e já tem quase 500 mil jogadores. Aproveite, enquanto continua no ar.

“Lost” continua: Drive Shaft e Geronimo Jackson no “Rock Band”

Drive Shaft Lost Rock Band

“Lost” acabou. Sim, você já sabe disso, pois está ouvindo a mesma coisa há horas sem parar. Mas os fãs poderão tocar “para sempre” os sucessos fictícios da série, em mais uma iniciativa transmedia dos produtores.

Estou falando de Drive Shaft e Geronimo Jackson, duas bandas que fizeram parte da mitologia de “Lost”, e que terão músicas lançadas na Rock Band Network: “You All Everybody” e “Dharma Lady”, respectivamente.

As músicas estarão disponíveis para o “Rock Band” de Xbox 360 nos próximos dias, e essa é sua chance única de encarnar Charlie Pace e escrever “NOT PENNYS BOAT” na palma na mão. Abaixo, dois vídeos para relembrar:

Um adeus à campanha “Get a Mac”

Como você já sabe, a neo-clássica campanha “Get a Mac” acabou. Finito. Já estava na hora, pois como dissemos nos filmes mais recentes a fórmula tinha cansado.

Ainda assim, isso não é motivo para você ficar triste, pois o podcast OneMoreThing editou um tributo de quase quatro minutos de duração com os melhores momentos da campanha que ficou quatro anos no ar.

Assistindo esse compilado, dá para realizar algo que é chover no molhado: os roteiros são ótimos, mas o John Hodgman (ator que faz o PC) é 60% dos filmes.

BP’s Got 99 Problems — and Twitter Is One

Not only is the responsible party posting tweets that parody both the oil industry and the spin industry — as "Negative people view the ocean as half empty of oil. We are dedicated to making it half full" and "If we had a dollar for every complaint about this oil spill, it wouldn't compare to our current fortune.
