Hilarious Onion video on Facebook and the CIA

A must-watch cross-cultural ping-pong: Musicians@Google: Google Goes Gaga (video)

This is a really interesting and often hilarious video of Google's Marissa Mayer interviewing Lady Gaga, found just now via FastCompany. Now, I don't care a whole lot about Lady Gaga's music (or did you really expect me to?) but this is indeed a very interesting and unique setting: über-celebrity-pop-cult meets micro-celeb-business-tech-super-girl. Note the slightly different outfits, to start with :). Nice, Google.

Blending the iPad: hilarious video, and really smart marketing - must watch

This is a must-watch; and yes, I am not the first one to mention it, missed this until just now - but what a great fit: the guy, the topic, the connection, the logic, the fun - great example of marketing nirvana.

The Blendtec people nailed this - and you've got to love the tag-line: "We've heard that the iPad will change your life, but will it change the way you blend?"

Really funny video (via The Onion): How Will The End Of Print Journalism Affect Loons Who Hoard Newspapers?

If newspapers stop printing every day, what will those loons do that collect and hoard newspapers? Tough question. Should the loon way of life be preserved? Watch the video. For more serious take on the Future of News join me for my presentation at the INMA 2010 World Congress in NY, April 27/28 ;)

Really funny parody (video): The Social Media Guru

Great stuff. Social Media is certainly a space for a lot of far-out people;) And this video covers a lot of ground in making fun of them. Thanks to TheMediaisDying (via Twitter)

iPhone mania: there's an App for that (2 videos)

The trend towards everything becoming an iPhone app is really amazing. Go to a bar with your buddies and you'll be certain to hear 'hey - there's an iPhone app for that'! Some of us used to talk about cars, sports, tech... now it's all about 'check out my cool iPhone apps' and swapping them. Techcrunch just reported a pretty cool, 30-day online background music app by designer Philippe Starke, too. A-mazing... I'll be watching.

The official Apple version The spoof (really funny)

Kevin Spacey explains Twitter to Dave Letterman - hilarious!

Boy - there is a lot we can learn from this - and have a good laugh, too. Both of these guys are just great, in their own way. Check the comments on the video, too - some real morsels there, as well. Nice to see CBS is finally sharing some clips, too;). Thanks to Techcrunch / Crunchgear for sending this my way.
