So my facebook starts showing up with friends posting photos which has their face photoshoped in with a old school yearbook black and white photos.. sporting awesome fashion and hairstyles from way back..

The photos start coming from other friends who have also transformed themselves..

The photos have a very minimal url in the bottom left hand corner which strikes intrigue, and instant recognisation that this website is providing the great photos that are springing up all over my facebook feed..

It took me a good 2 weeks to give it a go myself, but after being at work and seeing people “yearbooking” themselves and the fun that was shared between the onlookers, i couldn’t resist..

Yearbookyourself.com is a great campaign from Taubman what looks like a chain of shopping malls in America.. it provides the visitor a easy and commitment-less form of entertainment, and social media has enabled visitors to share these comical yearbook photos with each other..

When you upload your photo and position is correctly it gives you a list of shopping malls to choose from.. (thought not specifying the point or purpose of this selection) then it gives you a timeline of photos to place your mug into.. starting from 1950 all the way til 2000, It tries to relate these times to styles of clothes and fashion that can be purchased by displaying stores inside the mall that are relevant..

Its a great platform for a campaign to use, creates entertaining engaging content for the visitor, and then creates these great photos that the visitor MUST share with their friends.
Its a shame that they havent positioned the product strongly to link in with the idea.. maybe there could of been a better product that could of taken advantage of such a campaign… The other shame is that they havent enabled users to share on their desired social media straight from the site.. a “share on facebook” would be great!

Skitch is a absolutely awesome app for the mac. Made by Plasq, the guys that brought you comic life, these guys are making some really great apps

Drag a photo onto it, or snap one from your screen..

Use the cool tools to draw and edit it, resize it.. and then one click upload! to FTP, flickr or other webgallery!

Another click will copy the <a> tags into your clip board ready to paste into your HTML..

Im in the process of writing my next blog post about a local mobil gas station…

One of my favourite things in the world….

Saturday Mornings, In Balmain….

Little Marionette coffee in the park on a awesome day!

Basically involves this Boy, selling Fans made out of Peacock Feathers or what he describes as “Walking Indian Air Condition”

Although the product doesn’t really appeal to most people, (well doesn’t appeal to me).

The point that the post makes is that it doesn’t matter what you’re selling, just that you speak the right language..

The boy is a born salesmen and also seems very intelligent and its a shame that he is wasting his talents on the streets selling peacock feathers..

But i thought it was pretty cool aswell..

Its definately taken off! and extremely viral.. 4,145,762 views when writing this post…

Im still confused to whether they are the real YouTube Stars miming the song….!?

Also reminds me of the great South Park Episode!

Classic!~

Having my Contacts / Email / Calander where ever i am, is what i have been longing for..

Yes there are a few solutions out there.. I haven’t found any i liked.. (dot mac for instance just isn’t that convient)

Now with Mac OS 10.5.3 , with native support for syncing of Google Contacts… just made Google a whole lot useful for me… (Only works for iPhone users.. sorry )

Just yesterday i started using iGoogle, which i find is really awesome, it has great artist themes, and looks to be taking off.. I read a article recently showing that traffic coming from iGoogle search was significantly increasing…
