Do you usually choose the fast lane?

If so, this might be of great fun & interest to you.

Most of you should know about the Fun Theory, initiated by Volkswagen. The company brings some new fun to it these days with the launching of VW Polo GTI.

The marketing campaign, run exclusively on the Facebook official page, is comprised of a platform with the following motto: “Fast Lane – Driven by Fun”.

The Fast Lane Facebook page can bring you to the action faster, if you’re in a hurry and below you can see how the people in Berlin were driven by fun:

I can only guess that Eric Fischer thought of this when he designed the following maps. The red dots show the most popular photo spots among tourists. The blue ones are the popular photo spots for locals. The yellow ones are undetermined.

The author used the GPS information of images on Flickr, combined with the home city of the user taking a certain photo.

The million dollar moral dilemma.

Going from 8 to 0 on May Day

Posted by Anne on April 30, 2010

It all starts back in 1886 in the U.S. when several hundred thousand workers won the right to work only 8 h/day for the same pay check.

Nowadays, for the 1st of May we work 0 h/day. Sometimes, if it’s on a Tuesday, we don’t work on Monday either.

So it took about 130 years to go from 8 to 0, how long do you think it will take to go from 1 day to 1 week?

7 years of FRIENDS party

Posted by Anne on April 12, 2010

Friday night we had this big party with friends and friends of FRIENDS and we toasted for the 7th anniversary of our dear agency.

The event was broadcasted live through the photos uploaded in real time on our Facebook group – friends of FRIENDS.

You can still tag, comment and like or unlike them there and according to the feedback, some of them will be enclosed in the FRIENDSBOOK 2010.

For those of you who weren’t there or for those who wish to see it again, here’s the photo sum up of the agency’s past year, 2009.

Since April Fool’s Day is gone and there’s no spoiler alert danger for this year any longer, we can all relax and lay back. There’s no such thing as butterfly attacks and no human was harmed during the shooting for the following viral video:

p.s: who else played a good prank on his friends yesterday?

2.0 art?

Posted by Anne on March 30, 2010

Stirring veggies and spices to get a salad is one thing, but combining music and new media to get art is…well, it’s like the footage below :
