Offline social media

The greatest quirk/design blogger in the universe posted this so I benchmarked it.

A guy attached a camera to a park bench and left a note:

Good afternoon,
I attached this camera to the bench so you could take pictures. Seriously. So have fun. I’ll be back later this evening to pick it up.
Love, Jay / The Plug

He posted the resulting photos on his site. Great idea and an even better reminder that social media doesn’t have to be online. This could be a huge idea for a brand (especially with a digital camera and a watermark) though I am guessing you need a uhhh editor if it is in a bar or something.

You are out, having a good time, grab the camera on the wall, point, click take Tommy’s photo and remember the URL. Next day (or so) go check it out. Send it to friends, branded, talked about, passed on.

good tool for goodsearch

Posted in non-profit at 9:11 am by Mosey

I ran into this good idea this morning. Goodsearch.com helps non profits via search results. You sign up for a charity and every time you search using the site that nonprofit gets a penny or so.

Great idea for things you are going to do anyway. They probably make twice that per search but he, who cares?  Tey even have an IE and Firefox toolbar for you to use. Only bad part is the search is Yahoo, which has already failed me twice this morning for specific things I was looking for.

Still, I’ll take a first shot on my searches for charity and if I need to power Google it later I will.
