Top Gear goes YouTube

Published by Lev Detrez under brands, video, web 2.0

BBC opened a brand new YouTube page for Top Gear, their popular, award winning controversial car magazine with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May.

“The BBC Worldwide YouTube channel has already proven its value to users, having generated millions of views since its launch in March last year. We’re now expanding our portfolio of YouTube channels to reflect the massive online popularity of certain programme brands and to give fans of shows like ‘Top Gear’ a dedicated destination on YouTube.” says Simon Danker, director of digital media van BBC Worldwide.

I say: hooray! YouTube just got a lot more awesome!

If YouTube (or BBC) is able to put advertising on this page, or in these video’s, I’m sure a lot of advertisers will be interested in that! Way to go BBC!

The ‘Mojave experiment’

Published by Lev Detrez under brands, internet

This is cool: Microsoft did a blind test with some die hard XP users (and Vista haters) to try out a new operating system by Microsoft, called Windows Mojave. They liked it a lot. What they didn’t knew was that Mojave is actually Windows Vista…

See for yourself: http://www.mojaveexperiment.com/

Personally I’m not a great fan of Vista either, but I’ve actually never tried it myself. Instead of installing Vista on my new laptop, I chose XP.

For my old computer I decided to try out Ubuntu, because I wasn’t able to re-install XP. This operating system looks really nice and stable. And it’s free!

Why don’t you try it. It’s very easy to install. You can run both Ubuntu and Windows on one computer!

Brand Tags

Published by Lev Detrez under brands, web 2.0

I got this link from a tweet by Niels Hendriks.

The basic idea of Brand Tags is that a brand exists entirely in people’s heads. Therefore, it is good to know what people think about a brand (or your brand).

Participating is easy: just write down the first thing that pops into your head when you see a brand? (A word or phrase please . . . there are no wrong answers). The site has 1.1 million tags and counting.

Try it out - http://www.brandtags.net/

Why is this interesting?
I thought it was fun to check out what people think about our clients

I like ‘x’ + you like ‘x’ = I like you!

Published by Lev Detrez under Social Networks, brands, web 2.0

How about a dating site where you can meet people who have same brand-preferences. If you like Nike, Snickers and Kandoo… you’ll probably get along with someone who likes the same… I guess(?)
