Say It With Links #1

Twenty one. That’s the number of topics I had planned to write about on this blog in the past few weeks, sorting and drafting each of them but always post-poning their finalization. And chances are that they will never see the daylight if I keep doing this and adding more drafts in the folder. So instead of declaring a Blog Bankruptcy, I’ll start another post category, Say It With Links, that we’ll use every time our bookmark folder is overflowing.

• Meet the Little Guys Who Are Challenging ComScore, NetRatings. Or the Long Tail of online measurement services. (Requires Registration)

• Kate Modern, a new online video series developed by the guys behind LonelyGirl15, and available exclusively on social networking site Bebo (apparently the top site in the category in the UK). It’s all about product placement and interaction with the social network community. The future of video?

• HP’s new campaign brings design to the mass with Paula Scher’s business templates. Paula is one of the most renowned graphic designer in the US, principal at Pentagram since 1991 with some of her works in the permanent collection of the MoMA. Small companies that couldn’t afford the services of a designer now just have to go on the HP’s site, choose a template, fill in the contact details, and download the PDFs they need: business card, letterhead…

• How do you brand yourself online? Take advantage of the plethora of tools that the web 2.0 has to offer.

• The over-50 crowd accounts for nearly 30% of total time spent on the internet. You said missed opportunity?

• Social Network = Flickr + Facebook + Last.fm + a bunch of other social sites. Brands have to blend into it, that’s their only option.

Et voila, my draft folder is almost empty, ready to be filled again. We both fell much lighter.
