What does Christmas really mean to you?
Well… that is exactly what this funny experiment is trying to find out by tracking keywords on Twitter, and launching a poetic race around the world between Christmas Spirit, Commercialism, Credit Crunch, and Religion.
Sweeeeet!
Oh? Are the reindeer on facebook yet?
Introducing The Cipher Glass: A beautiful concept designed by Damjan Stankovic, an award wining designer based in Belgrade, Serbia.
Empty, the glass resembles a meaningless colorful mosaic.
Full, it reveals the name of the liquid poured into it.
Though the Cipher glass is complex in appearance, it is in fact based on a very simple idea:
Differently coloured squares are scattered across the glass surface in a seemingly random pattern. Their position, however, is hardly accidental. The true purpose of the glass mosaic is revealed when coloured liquid is poured into it – orange juice, milk, or Coca-Cola.
The pattern of shapes and empty spaces on the glass, combined with the colour of the liquid inside the glass, form a word that reveals exactly which drink you are having. Each side of the glass is reserved for a specific drink.
Besides being a novelty item with entertainment value it can also serve as a marketing item for beverage companies as it has a strong promotional potential… And we love that!
Wyclef Jean (aka @wyclef, aka Toussaint St Jean) is using his Twitter showing 1 million+ followers and TwitVid (Twitter+Video) to launch his new Mixtape EP “Walk Away”.
Some funny stuff man, happened to me,
I signed an autograph for a kid, Clef from The Fugees,
Kid looked at me, said what the hell is a Fugee,
Aint you Will.i.am from the peas,
I’m a fan, but no I aint Will.i.am,
Let me introduce myself to the new generation,
I’m wyclef jean singer, song writer, composer,
In high school I used to be a battle rapper,
Then I got with The Fugees, hi haters,
Fifteen years later, still sold more records than all of ya’ll put together,
That’s just a piece of the biography of Wyclef Jean,
And when I spit call me Tousaint St. Jean.
HipHopAtLunch.com met up with him to speak about the inspiration behind his Toussaint St. Jean mixtape, his Yéle Haiti Timberland boot, taking classes at Berklee College of Music, and of course his views on Twitter and Facebook…
For males that didn’t had a chance to play with the interactive playmate of the last Esquire “Augmented Reality” Issue… Enjoy this official tour!

Google’s new logo is a barcode, because today is the 57th anniversary of the first patent on the barcode…
The barcode is a technical innovation from inventors Norman Woodland and Bernard Silver that has become an often unnoticed, yet essential, part of modern day life. It is a global standard, where a scanner from any manufacturer can interpret any barcode from anywhere.
It’s a great example of why uniform protocols and standards serve a greater good for everybody, and the same lesson certainly applies to the web!

The Economist conference just finished Monday in New York and some marketers still don’t believe what happened in 2009…
Post-digital culture drastically changed consumer behavior and the media landscape. The way marketers reach their audience must also change. Quickly.
So when the L.A. Times announced that ABC, the Disney-owned network, decided to skip the first commercial break while premiering their most anticipated TV series “Flash Forward” and Courteney Cox’s “Cougar Town”, some think the network was experimenting with a new tactic to keep viewers tuned in, while others speculate that the network couldn’t find enough media buyers…
The seasons remind us that it’s natural to change… So TheTrendWatch is proud to introduce a few of them. And we hope you’ll fall in love.
