What would our interactions on social media such as Facebook and Twitter look in real life with (gasp) real people?

Classic DIY furniture rap ad makes ya wanna dance!

Growing businesses often find it difficult to justify the high cost of mainstream advertising. But in this age of DIY, there are other options. Take this crudely shot, dancin' rappin' goof of an ad for Flea Market Montgomery from 2006. Not so long ago, it would have slipped away without much notice.

Volkswagen's viral success: the fun theory

Its latest campaign, The Fun Theory, is based on the idea that people's actions can be changed by something as simple as 'fun'. Played out (and filmed) on an unsuspecting public, a set of subway stairs transformed into a walking piano and a 'never-ending' bin manage to dramatically change people's typical behaviour for the better. And all of this with barely a reference to Volkswagen.

Splish splash, I was takin' a jog… on my underwater treadmill [Australian Innovation]

But in the hands of the folk at HydroCo, based at Seaford in Victoria, wetness plus walking-in-place equals the Physio 1611, a compact aquatic centre that can go where an Olympic-size pool couldn't hope to fit.

Knowing when to call it quits. Barkles breaks the news with a remarkable email....

Last week, I was surprised to receive this linked email from Barkles, an online debating platform. The startup, barely a year old, was calling it quits. I suppose that's not so unusual.
