So Lil Jon did an AMA on reddit to promote his new song and it was brilliant. Responses in all caps? Check. Excessive use of exclamation points? Check. Finally finding out whether Lil Jon prefers the window or the wall? Priceless. Do yourself a favor and check out this craziness.
A phenomenal commercial promoting the new Muppets movie debuted during the Golden Globes. Apparently (Twitter) critics are outraged that the Muppets were robbed of 247 awards. Here is what they had to say:
In a world where a trailer for season 2 of a Netflix show is more anticipated than a trailer for a summer blockbuster, House of Cards reigns supreme.
Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are back and the Underwoods are coming for blood. This trailer has been out for about 5 minutes and already has 25,000 views and counting.
Beau Willimon, the showrunner for House of Cards just made this announcement on Reddit:
Yo Reddit, I'm Beau Willimon, showrunner for HOUSE OF CARDS. We created a slew of cinemagraph GIFS for Season 2 and I wanted to share this one with you first. Just a taste for now, but LOTS MORE to come, so keep your eyes peeled, your ears to the ground, and your smart-devices at your finger-tips.
The new season will be release on Valentine's Day. I know what I'll be doing.
In case you didn't realize, 2014 started on a Wednesday, otherwise known as #HumpDay. Not to be left out, Geico climbed on the hashtag bandwagon with #HUMPDAY2014.
While the commercial was hilarious, Caleb (that's the camel's name) was getting on my last nerves for 2103 about halfway through Carson's NYE special. Never mind the fact that this hashtag was in all caps, which is a big no-no, but there was nothing native about this advertising. It was so blatant, it was distracting.
If you bothered to visit their website, you'll find that you can import/upload a picture, have Caleb photo bomb it and share it with your social networks. Which is great, except they didn't really explain that during the 123928309 commercials or underneath the takeover of the countdown clock. How many people actually used this photo generator? I mean I used it, so that's at least one...
I guess if it gets people talking it works, but I think the Geico team could have come up with something much better than this. I hope this isn't a glimpse into their social strategy for 2014.
This Ben & Jerry's Tweet Is Brought To You By The Munchie Fairy
Some brands just get it and Ben & Jerry's is one of those brands.
BREAKING NEWS: We're hearing reports of stores selling out of Ben & Jerry's in Colorado. What's up with that? pic.twitter.com/zBs8nyxZWn
— Ben & Jerry's (@benandjerrys) January 2, 2014
While everyone may not be celebrating Colorado Amendment 64, the creators of Half Baked, Phish Food and other suggestive flavors, jumped in with the right tweet at the right time.
THIS is how you integrate your brand with current events. Companies like Kenneth Cole, Gap, Urban Outfitters and American Apparel need to take note.
5 Horrible Facebook Invites You Receive & Why It's Mark's Fault People Don't Respect The R.S.V.P.
I just read an interesting NYTimes article titled How the Internet Has Changed the R.S.V.P. and it inspired me to write this post. In case it's behind the pay wall by the time you read this, here's the skinny:
“People either don’t R.S.V.P. and show up anyway, or they R.S.V.P. yes to everything and decide later what their best option is.” - Rocco DiSpirito, chef and television host.
As with every other social problem of the world, people are blaming the decline of the R.S.V.P. on technology. In true Brittany fashion, I'm blaming Facebook, particularly Mark Zuckeverythingup. Facebook allows people to invite every person they know, KNOW and "know" to events like:
- "I lost my phone and need your info because I still haven't learned how to sync my contacts."
- "Super exclusive club party that's not exclusive at all because I'm inviting you on Facebook."
- My band that you've shown no interest in is playing at a venue you've never heard of at an hour that's past your bedtime."
- "My birthday party invite that you'll never see because your inbox is full with the above crappy invitations."
- "We need you to leave the continental US for our wedding in Hawaii but here's a Facebook invite because the post office is two blocks away... and it's raining."
Yes that last one really happened. I didn't even SEE the invite until the week before the wedding. Do you know how much a flight to Hawaii costs when you're leaving in 6 days?
With invites like these, it's no wonder people don't bother to R.S.V.P. If you're going to send a digital invitation, at least send it using an awesome site like Splash. That way it's connecting with people's email addresses and hopefully they haven't moved all emails from you to the promotions tab. How awesome is that feature by the way? To everyone still sending e-vites, please send those to my aol email. Thanks.
The Charmin Tweet That Should Have Never Been Deleted
Everything about this was done right. It had the three necessities for an awesome brand tweet.
1. Timeliness? Check. - Thor: The Dark World came out on Friday, November 8th, the same day this was tweeted.
2. Funny graphic? Check. - This bear is wielding toilet paper instead of a hammer. Amazing.
3. Witty humor? Double check. - "We've always been an asgardian." Play on "ass guardian?" BRILLIANT.
So why did they delete it? Because a few people cried about their "potty mouth." I mean really? Some people just don't have a sense of humor. I mean Charmin is TOILET PAPER. You wipe your butt with it. How often are they going to find a moment this good that comes straight from the Porcelain Gods of Asgard?
This could have been epic, and I guess it still is, but awards could have been won Charmin. AWARDS! If you're going to tweet, tweet with CONVICTION!
I love technology and innovation as much as the next person, but Google Glass freaked me out. Not so much because I couldn't understand why it was impossible to get a pair even though I was willing to foolishly spend $1500 on them, but because people started talking about putting computers inside your eyes.
Now I don't know about you, but I wear contacts and there have been times where one has gotten stuck in the corner of my eye and I just had to sit in pain while it "worked itself out." I don't need a computerized device stuck in my eye. I also don't want people to be able to hack into it and make me walk into oncoming traffic.
I just see so much wrong with computerized watches/glasses/contacts/chips. People thought I was overreacting, but Eran May-raz and Daniel Lazo get it. There are a lot of futuristic short films on The Cgbros YouTube channel and I suggest you check them out!
I don't know what I would have done in this scenario, but I would not have been taping this whole thing like that one lady. Well done everyone. Well done. I might actually go see this movie... probably not... but who knows?!
The Rules of (Celebrity Twitter) Engagement
[Photo via Jezebel]
Source: Kevin Connolly’s Online Meltdown Reveals He’s No Ladies Man
Summary: Kevin Conolly (E from Entourage and Ryan from Unhappily Ever After, which is where I first fell in love with him) tweeted about hockey. Katie Nolan from Guyism tweeted him back. Connolly DM'd her and told her she had a cute picture. Nolan, obviously over the moon, screenshot the message and posted it on Facebook. People commented on the post and started giving Conolly a hard time. He found her page and lost his shit. There was a lot of back and forth and in short, it was ugly.
Thoughts: Jezebel readers seem to think Connolly was in the wrong on this one, but I disagree. Sure I didn't think he needed to spew racial epithets at people, but Nolan broke the three rules of celebrity Twitter engagement.
Rule #1: It's really not that serious.
Celebrities in real life are regular people who make a lot of money. Celebrities on Twitter are regular people who have a lot of followers. I get it. Kevin Connolly said you have a cute profile picture, but if that is worthy of a screenshot and a post to Facebook you need to get out more. I have a few celebrity phone numbers and a few celebrity Facebook friends and I just geek out with my close circle of friends and my mom. I learned an important lesson in my teenybopper days: no one wants to be friends with a fan so chill out.
Rule #2: What happens in DMs stays in DMs.
If a celebrity wants the whole world to know what they're saying to you, they will (@) mention you. If they want to keep it private, they will DM you. Why would you then take that DM and make it public? That makes absolutely no sense. For all we know, Connolly thought she was cute, saw what she did for work (which probably includes interacting with celebrities on a regular basis) and took the bait. For her to completely fan out on him was unexpected and for her to put him out in the open like that was completely unacceptable.
Rule #3: What happens on your timeline is YOUR responsibility.
Nolan tried to hide behind the fact it was her followers writing these insults, not her. I'm sorry but Facebook is only as free as you let it be. I talk about a lot of controversial things on my Facebook page, mostly because I like to cause trouble, but also because I like to read what people think, but everyone knows there is no freedom of speech on my timeline. If you say something stupid, ignorant, or just downright rude, your comment will be deleted and you will be blocked/banned/reported as spam. By accepting friend requests from strangers and allowing people to subscribe to my updates, I have essentially made my Facebook timeline a public forum. And public forums need to be moderated or people will start selling weight loss pills, sneakers and other nonsense on it.
Conclusion: Nolan dropped the ball for this one and she doesn't get a pass just because an article came from it. Kevin, I still love you and you can DM me any day of the week. Good luck on your new show. I'll be watching.
.@mtv fakes its own Twitter hack.
We totally Catfish-ed you guys. Thanks for playing! <3 you, @bet. ;)
— MTV (@MTV) February 19, 2013
BRILLIANCE.
Let's welcome @mtv to the hacked club. Hi yo infoooooooo. Hide yo passwooooooooooords.
Well @jeep has been hacked. * Antoine Dodson voice* Obviously there is a hacker on Twitter. You better hide your handles, change your passwords, and watch your accounts because they're hacking everybody out here.
Burger King's Twitter Hacked So Burger King's Twitter has been hacked and turned into a McDonald's page. The only thing funnier than this are the #hashtags they are posting. This is just too much. If their social media team didn't have a crisis room before...
.@JustinBieber vs. @theGRAMMYs
I'm gonna do an hour live video stream tomorrow at 8 est I'm gonna play some new music and answer questions send this to ur friend :)
February 9, 2013
Well someone is just a little too sensitive. Justin seems pretty upset that he didn't receive any GRAMMY nominations. Instead of being a grown up about it, he has decided to hold an hour-long video stream with Q&A and new music at 8pm EST. You know, right when the GRAMMYs air.
Tell Biebs that when life gives you lemons you go cry over a track and put it on your next album. THAT is how you get nominated for not just a GRAMMY, but for every award under the sun. Just ask Taylor Swift.
Update: Huge Livestream fail. Justin Bieber's chat is over capacity and he can't get in. 45 minutes later, it's still not happening. He should have just performed at the GRAMMYs.
alright so livestream isnt working.. soo im gonna figure something out
